This article addresses obtaining various Counts from Firefox concerning Firefox features (bookmarks, history) and counts of such things (links) within active page, along with some calculation features.
Bookmarks and links
Sub-folders restriction: Counting bookmarks with a search is rather limited since the search is not looking at "All Bookmarks" and does not search sub-folders, see bug reports. In the meantime you may have to work with an exported bookmarks listing (bookmarks.html) and use the href:count bookmarklet described in this article.
Bookmarks
Bookmarks are available with "Ctrl+B", "Ctrl+Shift+B can" show "visit count" per item but not a summary, unless you do a search such as including "://" or "http" (see Sub-folders restriction above)
- Bookmarks
- Bookmarks with keywords, all, in a folder (1st level of a folder, all levels within)
- Bookmarks with tags, Total number of defined tags (1st level of a folder, all levels within)
- Bookmarks with description
Bookmark folders
Goal is to be able to get a total on all bookmark, within a folder, within a folder and sub-folders (see sub-folders restriction above).
- Bookmarks in folder: 1st level, all
- will get 1st level within a folder in Library List ("Ctrl+Shift+B", but not sub folders. There is no count in bookmarks sidebar ("Ctrl+B")
- Folders in folder: 1st level, all
Note "Ctrl+Shift+B" gets you Organize Bookmarks, but if you have converted from older bookmarks the keyboard shortcut may not work, in which case use "Ctrl+Shift+H" for History then select All Bookmarks.
History
History is available with "Ctrl+H", "Ctrl+Shift+H" can show "visit count" per item but not a summary, unless you do a search
- Number of visits to current page ("Ctrl+Shift+H", your own history)
- Number of bookmarks pointing to this page ("Ctrl+Shift+B", your own bookmarks), Note older versions converted to version 3 may have to use Organize Bookmarks if shortcut is not available.
Library
Library list is obtained from Bookmarks (menu), Organize Bookmarks (version 3 non upgraded users can use "Ctrl+Shift+B"
See sub-folders restriction near top.
Bring up the Library window and do a search on "://" that should pick up both "html://" and "htmls//". If you want to include bookmarklets perhaps search on " " (space) instead. To restrict to bookmarklets try "Javascript".
There will be a count at the bottom, if the fixed portion at the bottom prevents that display, just move the vertical scrollbar a little bit and the total will appear in the properties area. If too few for vertical scrollbar to appear then count them, or right-click on empty space on the main area on the right side. If an item in the list is already selected redo the search then do the right-click.
You will have to do this for each major folder, and it will not pick up from All Bookmarks, and it will not include sub-folders. (see sub-folders restriction near top of this article). The scope of search will be fixed for Firefox 3.1 (bug 451151) so that subfolders are also included (recursive).
To get a better idea of what you are actually looking at in your results, suggest installing the Show Parent Folder" extension. Include the "Parent folder" column in the library listing through View menu (or context menu of column headers). Sorting on that column will show the hierarchy of the results.
Links
- Linky :: Firefox Add-ons, provides for opening many tabs from a selection of selected page links into new tabs but if your selection count exceeds 99 links you must reduce the which links you choose to open.
- Links Counter :: Firefox Add-ons counts external links without 'nofollow', external links with 'nofollow' and domain internal links in a page.
- Also see Bookmarks (above), and Bookmarklets (below).
Page Info
- Page size of current page, subject to server response -- Tools, Page Info, General (tab)

Bookmarklets
If not found below most are in k.html for folders to install on bookmarks toolbar.
- Character Count :: Form Bookmarklets (F), Displays a running count of the characters in each textbox. [ keyword: character:count ]
- javascript:(function(){var%20D=document,i,f,j,e;for(i=0;f=D.forms[i];++i)for(j=0;e=f[j];++j)if(e.type=="text"||e.type=="password"||e.tagName.toLowerCase()=="textarea")S(e);function%20S(e){if(!e.N){var%20x=D.createElement("span"),s=x.style;s.color="green";s.background="white";s.font="bold%2010pt%20sans-serif";s.verticalAlign="top";e.parentNode.insertBefore(x,e.nextSibling);function%20u(){x.innerHTML=e.value.length;}u();e.onchange=u;e.onkeyup=u;e.oninput=u;e.N=x;}else{e.parentNode.removeChild(e.N);e.N=0;}}})()
- count strings on a page (ID), provides a dialog "Search for what string?"
lowercase -- Found 7 occurrences of "lowercase".
- javascript:void%20new%20Function(%22var%20c=0,w=prompt('Search%20for%20what%20string?',''),y=pageYOffset;if(w){while(find(w))c++;scrollBy(0,y-pageYOffset);alert('Found%20'+c+'%20occurrence'+(c==1?'':'s')+'%20of%20\%22'+w+'\%22.')}%22).call()
- href: (not a count), expands all links on a page to show the url or JavaScript code with href="..." of anchor tags (" HREF visible, keyword: href:) based on “Paren Tips” (keyword: parentips:) makes Title with HTML visible ([1])
javascript:(function(){%20var%20z=[],N,href,tc,j;%20function%20r(N)%20{%20if%20(N.href)%20z.push(N);%20var%20C=N.childNodes,i;for(i=0;i<C.length;++i)r(C[i]);%20}%20r(document.body);%20for%20(j%20in%20z)%20{%20N=z[j];%20href=document.createTextNode(%22%20[--\u00A0%22+N.href+%22%20--]%22);%20tc=document.createElement(%22span%22);%20tc.style.color=%22green%22;%20tc.style.background=%22#FFEE99%22;%20tc.appendChild(href);%20N.parentNode.insertBefore(tc,N.nextSibling);%20N.parentNode.insertBefore(document.createTextNode(%22%20%22),tc);%20}})();
- href:count, Count of HREF in HTML anchor tags, You can see this in action by clicking on link that has "href:count" within k.html works on an exported bookmarks.html file produces a box like Href count: 585 [OK] (similar to keywords:count)
- javascript:(function(){var%20c='red',e=document.getElementsByTagName('a'),E,k=0,n,t;%20for(i=0;E=e[i];i++){t=E.getAttribute('HREF');%20if(t&&t!=''){n=document.createElement('span');%20n.style.color=c;n.innerHTML='['+t+']';%20E.appendChild(n);k++}}%20alert('HREF%20count:%20'+k);})()
- keywords:count, Count keywords example ([2]) – You can see this in action by clicking on k.html link that has "keywords:" within an exported bookmarks.html file produces a box like Keywords found: 417 [OK] -- goal would be for this to work from a selection
- javascript:(function(){var%20c='red',e=document.getElementsByTagName('a'),E,k=0,n,t;%20for(i=0;E=e[i];i++){t=E.getAttribute('SHORTCUTURL');%20if(t&&t!=''){n=document.createElement('span');%20n.style.color=c;n.innerHTML='['+t+']';%20E.appendChild(n);k++}}%20alert('shortcuts%20found:%20'+k);})()
- word frequency Lists the words in the page and how many times each word appears.
- javascript:(function(){var%20T={},W=[],C=0,s,i;%20function%20F(n){var%20i,x,a,w,t=n.tagName;if(n.nodeType==3){a=n.data.toLowerCase().split(/[\s\(\)\:\,\.;\<\>\&\'\"]/);for(i%20in%20a)if(w=a[i]){w="%20"+w;T[w]=T[w]?T[w]+1:1;++C;}}if(t!="SCRIPT"&&t!="STYLE")for(i=0;x=n.childNodes[i];++i)F(x)}F(document);for(i%20in%20T)W.push([T[i],i]);W.sort(function(a,b){var%20x=b[0]-a[0];return%20x?x:((b[1]<a[1])?1:-1)});%20s="<h3>"+C+"%20words</h3>";for(i%20in%20W)s+=W[i][0]+":"+W[i][1]+"<br>";with(open().document){write(s);close()}})()
- words: word count, get bookmarklet at k.html test by selecting a few words, or if you seleted the entire page you might see something like words in selection: 11615
- javascript:alert('words%20in%20selection:%20'%20+%20document.getSelection().split('%20').length)
Tables
- TableTools :: Firefox Add-ons sorts, filters or copies any HTML table. (thought this did totaling, perhaps not)
- [Quick Calculator :: Firefox Add-ons] Show SUM MIN MAX AVERAGE and QUANTITY of selected items in status bar. [Experimental]
External links
- Bug 451151 - Search box In Places Organizer (Library) not behaving correctly (this is the primary problem with searches, and is marked as a blocker for 3.1)
- Note also the disappearing/reappearing scope at the top of the Library listing, only appears after first doing a search.
- Search: Selected Folder All Bookmarks History
- Bug 469436 - In the context bar when searching in the library "selected folder" should be the actual folder name
- Bug 469437 - Searches in bookmarks sub-folders of the Library window should default to the context of All Bookmarks ("Search Bookmarks")
- Bug 479837 – (Enhancement) - Clear up scope ambiguity of Library Searches and include counts
- Search: Selected Folder (only) Selected Folder & all subfolders All Bookmarks History
