Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 13428860, 8 years agoI got a notice about updating Colorful Notes and thought it would bring back the original experience, but although it appears to be making progress toward that and brought up a *side bar* with all the open tabs shown in different colors, alas! the top of my browser where the tabs all appear in a row still only colors the current tab along with my bookmarks toolbar. All the rest of the tabs remain white. Is there something--other than installing the new Colorful Tabs--that I need to do to get the desired effect?
Needless to say, the value of the original way all the tabs had their own colors was more useful (not to mention, attractive, which is important to me). I really appreciate the creator's efforts and hope he will continue them and get back to what we once had. But I realize that the programming underlying Quantum is so different from that of the previous FireFox that it may be a hard (hopefully, not impossible) task.
Meanwhile, I'm with "Piecevcake".

- Rated 5 out of 5by MarkusProkott, 2 months agoBest add-on ever. It's so essential.
Read Bug 1320585 on Bugzilla. OMG, why don't they implement tab colouring??? They even locked comments on that bug after they saw that so many people would love to have tab colours. Why do they hate users so much?
It's nice to have at least that current workaround with ColorfulTabs. I needed the original XUL addon so much, that I actually extended it to have C&P functionality.
IMO, tab colour should not be left to addon developers, but should be a HTML meta property like: . It belongs to the same place as favicons. It's weird that you can set a favicon in HTML, but not a background to it. The first one is totally normal – the second a sacrilege? This way it would be as easy as CSS to overide the tab colour with a user or extension set colour. - Rated 4 out of 5by CJIS, 6 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by malau, a year agoIt was useless 3 years ago, and it's useless today !
All the tabs remain the same colour UNLESS you click on one of them !!!!!!!
The Extension SHOULD colour all tabs at the top of the screen a different colour, because by default they are all white. But it doesn't. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18488585, a year agoI have not been able to get more than 1 tab colored and that one is the open tab. I would love to have my tab colors back

- Rated 1 out of 5by Greenberg, a year agoIt used to work now I cant get it to work. It used to work was a great addon when you have many open windows in multi-row especially although for that you have to use Floorp Firefox based browser.

- Rated 2 out of 5by phunk, 2 years agoCan developer PLEASE EXPLAIN why this add-on required "Access your data for all websites" permission? That sounds like an EXTREME SECURITY RISK, for an unknown use or benefit.
