- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17107314, 8 days agoAs someone who loves to decorate herself and her things with fun and bright colors and things. I've always decorated Firefox with it's many themes but that was starting to get old. I wanted something DIFFERENT! So, I found this and after going through many other variations, I am happy to say I've found the one! I LOVE being able to have a rainbow of tabs on my screen, especially when the colors are MY choice! It's easy and quick and the options are limitless!!1
- Rated 3 out of 5by Ondrej, 6 months agoI wanted a simple addon that lets me color-code tabs so i can easily distinguish between them. E.g. I have 5 tabs opened with 5 different issues in Azure Devops and want one i'm working on to be red and onother to be blue so when I switch beween applications and many other tabs I will always easily wind that one important tab. I don't want the whole browser tab bar to change color when i select the tab, I just want the small tab to be colored, without having to select it. This addon works but is completly useless for me.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Juan Rozo, a year agoIt would be amazing if the app had the option to not only change the colour based on domain alone but also include specific url paths.
- Rated 5 out of 5by mad, 2 years agoIgnore the "no GUI" comment, don't know what happened there.
To add a new domain, simply navigate to a page on that domain, click on the icon in the toolbar (or add-on menu) and a simple sidebar opens to select a desired color for the domain.
There's also a Settings button that leads to the Options view in add-ons manager where you can delete (but sadly not change) saved colors.
I'm giving it 5 stars, because it is simple to configure, I have had no problems despite the last update being 2 years ago, and it does what I need it to do.
One problem is tho that when you have multiple windows open, and one of them has a colored domain open, it will color everything. If the windows both have a (different) colored domain open, then it follows the focus.
Although the name says Tabs, the description clearly states that it will set the browser window a custom color, so that was expected - Rated 1 out of 5by malau, 3 years agoIt literally has no GUI ! You have to code stuff into a JSON file and then load that ! It's insane that Mozilla allow this kind of stuff in their repository.

posted 8 days agoHello! I'm not sure what you mean - there is a simple GUI that opens on the side of the window, and allows you to use the browser's native color picker to set the color for each domain. The JSON file is only needed for import/export functionality - in the case that you'd like to use your settings on a separate device - Rated 5 out of 5by Ryan Thaut, 3 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Leland, 3 years agoWhile not as easy as the old XUL Colorfultabs is is better than the web extension of Colorfultabs. That said I wish it could color each tab without the need to select the tab. That would be worth 5 stars and probably more. Good job thus far. However today I found a bug. If I have already saved a color for a domain I can't change it and resave it. I have to delete the color for the domain first and then save it. Definitely not Intuitive.

UPDATE 2.Sept.2020 ERROR: Cannot save the Color with FF 80.01 on Windows 7 = Push the ''save'' Button jump it back to White. Works flawlessly on FF 68.12 ESR. - Rated 1 out of 5by rakeem84, 6 years ago
