- Rated 4 out of 5by Scepty, 4 months agoWorks great, unlike similar extensions that claim to function similarly.

- Rated 4 out of 5by rediffusion, 3 years agoWork's fine, easy to use (ง •_•)ง
But I prefer to use this "Tab ReTitle".
It’s more for my needs. - Rated 4 out of 5by allan999, 3 years agoI like persistence :)
Please also add a Tabbar tab context menu option to rename title. I keep forgetting to look for this rename plugin among my millions of installed extensions :| + #ux :) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12712466, 3 years agoPretty good, but one little improvement would make a world of difference for me: Allowing back references in the regex "title" field would allow actual dynamic modification of titles. Example: Matching "\[PROJECT-([0-9]+)\] (.*)" with title "$1 $2" would allow automatic removal of redundant info at the start of the title of most of my issue tracker tabs.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15534988, 5 years agoVery cool. To the author : when we click on the button to rename, please automatically "select all", so we just have to type.
- Rated 4 out of 5by viktorvaughn, 5 years agoDoesn't work with file:// pages, but straight editing of
- Rated 4 out of 5by FlyingEd, 5 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Tom, 5 years agoDoes the work. But a good feature, would be to completely replace the tab title (instead of appending).
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15071280, 6 years agoVery nice addon, I like the feature that you can automatically rename tabs by a regular expression.
Two additions would make that addon even better:
1. An entry in the context menu of a tab
2. Re-use capturing groups from the RegExp inside the new title. Like "someurl.com/pages/(.*)" --> "Someurl, page $1" - Rated 4 out of 5by TChack, 6 years agoI'm using Bunsen Helium Linux, derived from Debian 9 (Stretch).
Seems to work fine in Firefox Nightly Version 69.0a1 (2019-06-02) (64 bit)
Like others, I'd like it to be an option in the context menu (right mouse button).
The hotkey (Ctrl-Shift-E), is already being used to bring up Network Monitor, so it needs another key def.
This is a classic example of a tool that started out just to do a simple text change, then people wanted it to persist between sessions, then they wanted wildcards for multiple tab changes, etc., etc...
Anyway, its a good add-on; glad I found it.Developer response

- Rated 4 out of 5by TopazScorpion, 6 years agoNice add-on. I especially like the Regex entry type.
Need a way to import and export tab titles to/from a file in case of a Firefox re-install or migrating to a different computer. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 10122440, 6 years agoHey, I might've found a solution for dynamically updated titles. The following code listens for changes of the 'document.title' object and allows you to execute code when it changes. I would send a PR, but it doesn't seem that you're on any public VCS platform.
new MutationObserver(function(mutations) {
console.log(mutations);
// overwrite the title here
}).observe(
document.querySelector('title'),
{
subtree: true,
characterData: true,
childList: true
}
); - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14428935, 6 years agoLittle regrettable. gmail.com don't updates title, but link Addon is update allways
https://bitbucket.org/onemen/tabmix-rename-tab/src/default/ - Rated 4 out of 5by La Mo, 7 years agoIf possible please make focusing tab switch to original title, the extension should hide infocus tabs titles only. Thank you.
- Rated 4 out of 5by ChonUnca, 7 years agoIs it possible to use variable in title for regex definition?
for example:
Regex definition:
/.*google\.com.*/ -> title defining as: "[GOOGLE] - %title%"
give for url:
drive.google.com -> [GOOGLE] - My Drive
contacts.google.com -> [GOOGLE] - Google Contacts
calendar.google.com -> [GOOGLE] - Google Calendar - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14186269, 7 years agoThis does exactly what I want.
Rename Tabs to "Change" the title to make them easier to find.
Very easy to use. - Rated 4 out of 5by klint, 7 years agoExcellent add! So handy to rename cryptic server urls in titles
Would you mind adding an entry on the tab header menu as well? Thanks - Rated 4 out of 5by 4366Downs, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by piecevcake, 7 years agoVery basic, doesnt permanently rename tabs like tab retitle, but that malfunctions so back to this.
being able to edit the previous name in the box is great, saves a lot of hassle.
Shortcut suggestion: Alt_m.
Reason: ShiftControl_E doesn't work, it opens the firefox debugger! And of course m is the letter to press to rename in windows explorer, so is easy to remember. :-) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12902768, 7 years agofeature request/
import and export of saved renamed tab titles
/feature request
every time i update my FF, all saved tab titles are gone. that's annoying (i'm using the portable version of FF).
please continue the good work on this addon. thx. - Rated 4 out of 5by WRCS-UK, 7 years agoBelow there are some comments that amount to this extension being "inflexible" because it won't work on a global basis but only on individual tabs. The extension is called "Rename Tab Title" and that is exactly what it does. If it renamed every tab from a particular site to exactly the same tab title it would be of no value to me and would indeed be "inflexible". The whole point, surely, is to pinpoint a specific url by a chosen name.
It works just fine (does what it says on tin). - Rated 4 out of 5by Tharrrk, 7 years agoAgree with blake below. Lots of URIs change slightly on every logout/login to the service by changing GET parameters like ?sessionid= or path.
[HOTPATCH] The easiest way would be to only check that many characters that are stored in storage.js[/HOTPATCH]
[FIX] More advanced would be to include wildcards or regex[/FIX]
[FEATURE REQUEST] Another idea would be to sync with bookmark name if the URL is bookmarked! That would make it to a whole new level but that's probably far beyond the scope. [/FEATURE REQUEST]
Thanks for a good add-on anyway!Developer response
posted 7 years agoHey,
applied the [FIX].
will look into the mentioned feature request when i get time.
thanks for the suggestions and feedback.. (y) - Rated 4 out of 5by D Range, 7 years agoWorks for me on Firefox 58.0.1 but icon in toolbar is almost invisible. It is very light gray on white background on my system. If I knew where to find the icon I might be able to edit it for more contrast.
