- Rated 5 out of 5by Marek, 7 years agoThanks! Now I can distinguish tabs with similar names. :)
I didn't know I could start typing right after clicking the extension icon. The caret isn't visible until I press a key for some reason. Anyway, autofocus works, it's fine.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13252249, 7 years agoUsing Windows 10 Pro v1703 and Firefox Developer Edition v58.0b11 (64-bit) the extension works as claimed. Not only did it remember the renamed tab between sessions, it remembered it after a computer reboot.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Mark Craig, 7 years agoFar too inflexible to be broadly useful: it filters based only on fully qualified URLs and has no support for Regular Expressions or wildcards of any sort. This means that it can only match per specific page, not per domain nor even sub-domain.
Example of what won't work: If a site uses text in its site-wide page titleing that causes problems, you cannot filter out the offending text for the title of every page on a site with just one rule; you would be forced to visit every page of the site and create separate rules for each one. If you like to save copies of Web page, as I do, and a site for instance uses the Unicode character "→" in place of a dash in page titles, you would want a single filter for the entire site - perhaps even the entire Web - to match that Unicode character and replace it with a "-" dash.
Nope, can't do that with this extension. The only way to accomplish that still is to use a filtering HTTP proxy like privoxy or Proxomitron, and those are mighty broad brushes for just filtering page titles and nothing else.
Addendum: Fast forward eight months from my review, and its developer has listened and agreed and added regular expression parsing. Unfortunately... that parsing is applied to the URL to be matched and not the title, which is necessary to solve the scenario that I described. The title of any matched URL can only be replaced in its entirety, not altered partially by regular expression.Developer response
posted 7 years agohey,
added regex support.. hope it solves your issue..
thanks for the feedback (y) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13362729, 8 years agoThis is the best addon for this specific need. We use it a work with our GLPI filters. It's a charm and I can't imagine working without it. Keep up the good work!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12916690, 8 years agoSimple and to the point. A great addon. Would it be possible to add filters (for instance, to automatically remove the words "Microsoft Word" that is often inserted in PDF tab titles)?
Also, could you create an option to Rename Tabs in the context menu when you right-click on a tab?
PS the tab names are persistent after reloads now. thumbs up!
Many thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by yasin khan, 8 years agoWorking in firefox > 51
