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.

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 "http://"  and "https://".  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.
<!--See ''sub-folders restriction'' near top.-->
Bring up the Library window and do a search on "://" that should pick up both "http://" and "https://". If you want to include bookmarklets search for ":" (semicolon) instead. To restrict to bookmarklets use "Javascript".


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 [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=451151 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 [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/7372 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.

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

Bookmarks

Bookmarks are available with "Ctrl+B". "Ctrl+Shift+B" can show "visit count" per item. For a summary with all items search for :// or http

  • 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


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 (:// or http)

  • 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"

Bring up the Library window and do a search on "://" that should pick up both "http://" and "https://". If you want to include bookmarklets search for ":" (semicolon) instead. To restrict to bookmarklets use "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.

To get a better idea of what you are actually looking at in your results install the Show Parent Folder and Go Parent Folder add-ons. Include the "Parent folder" column in the library listing through the View menu (or the context menu of column headers). You can't sort entries using that column, though.

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 selection area or the number of check-marked links and work from there to get usable counts.
  • Links Counter :: Firefox Add-ons counts external links without 'nofollow', external links with 'nofollow' and domain internal links in a page. (Has not been updated for current versions of Firefox)
  • Also see Bookmarks (above), and Bookmarklets (below).

Page size

  • Size of current page, subject to server response. "Tools -> Page Info -> General (tab)"
  • The Web Developer Firefox add-on provides total page weight, size including all images, stylesheets. "Web Developer -> Information -> View Document Size". The report can be expanded to show size of each item.

Position


Tabs

  • Tab Counter :: Firefox Add-ons, counts the number of open tabs per window and displays the count in a toolbar. (22KB)  22 
  • TabCounter :: Firefox Add-ons, tab counters on status bar (separate boxes). Provides some historical stats as well. (9KB)  22|25    3|25 
  • Open Tab Count :: Firefox Add-ons, displays the number of open tabs for each window and the total number of open tabs (in all windows) in the status bar. (4KB)  22/25    3/25 
  • TabCount :: Firefox Add-ons status bar panel to display the number of currently open tabs both in the active window and across all windows. (6KB)  22/25    3/25 
  • Count of History items within current tab (back/forward key) and all tabs, not a count of the links within the active page.

Items shown with borders are as shown on statusbar, toolbars, or in dialog boxes, or a selected button.

Addons

Body

Bookmarklets

If not found below most are in k.html for folders to install on bookmarks toolbar.

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)
