por Usuario de Firefox 13832595, hace 8 añosIt appears to work, but it has five problems which are pretty major, given what a large portion of the addon they are.
1. The Ctrl+Shift+E shortcut already HAS a use. It opens up the network panel in the developer tools... and, here on Linux, Firefox doesn't allow extensions to override built-in hotkeys. (See Bugzilla bug # 1325692. I actually wrote a utility which intercepts Ctrl+Q when Firefox is the active window to work around this shortcoming.)
2. Cluttering up either my toolbar or my overflow menu using a browser action is awkward and bad UI design. The proper way to implement a function like this is to add it to the tab context menu using browser.menus.create and the "tab" context type. (Because of a limitation in the WebExtensions API, Tree Style Tab can't query custom tab context menu entries, so you'll also want to use the code snippet from the "API for other addons" page in the Tree Style Tab wiki to register yourself with Tree Style Tab's context menu.)
3. The popup looks terrible. If you're going to use a browser-provided popup panel, please set browser_style to true when declaring it, so Firefox will inject the same CSS rules used for things like the bookmark star. The "Browser styles" page in the MDN WebExtensions documentation has more information.
4. I use a tab suspender addon to keep memory consumption down and using a browser action means that I have to load a tab back into memory in order to edit its title. (Which means I have to wait for the tab to reload because, while the current tab is in the process of loading or reloading, Rename Tab Title will just see "undefined" as the current title.) Using a context menu entry would allow me to rename unloaded tabs without reloading them first.
5. Drag-and-drop reordering tabs using Tree Style Tab's sidebar sometimes unsets the customized tab title. (eg. I experienced it on a tab containing my GOG.com friends list, which only has "GOG.com" as its title.)
What I'd do is:
a. Register a context menu entry for tabs with both Firefox and Tree Style Tab (be sure to use the example code, so it silences any "Could not send a message to Tree Style Tab because it's not installed" errors.) and have it display an ordinary window.prompt popup. (The alternative is to inject content into the site, which is fragile and takes a lot of work to make it consistently look nice.)
b. Have the browser action take users directly to the Edit All option. (Browser actions are supposed to be for things which are not specific to the current tab's contents, like NoScript or uMatrix policies which apply to entire domains, or in-progress downloads which have lifetimes independent of specific tabs.)
c. Identify why the drag-and-drop reordering breaks things and fix it. (Worst case scenario, maybe there's a Tree Style Tabs event you can attach to.)
EDIT: I dropped the rating down to one star because it seems to consistently forget the customization when the page gets reloaded after the tab's been suspended. That makes it effectively useless to me.

- Se valoró con 4 de 5por mrnhrd, hace un mesWorks on my machine as of 2026-04-20 and FF 149.0 on linux (did not test everything).
Also I had a look through the source code in the assets; looks legit, small and simple. Good work :-) - Se valoró con 5 de 5por Anon007, hace 3 meses

- Se valoró con 2 de 5por Usuario de Firefox 18999368, hace un añoWish it worked. Looks like Firefox blocks it now (2025). No extension icon, so even though it's loaded, there is no way to actually use it. Would be better to have it accessed in the right-click menu on a tab, but perhaps that's not possible.
- Se valoró con 4 de 5por Scepty, hace un añoWorks great, unlike similar extensions that claim to function similarly.
- Se valoró con 3 de 5por WuJiao2000, hace 2 añosNot sure why this isn't a thing, but it would have been sooo much more convenient to be able to RC on a tab and select RENAME there.
And also for the tab's name field to be blank when you open up the dialogue box, so you dont have to CTRL A and del each time - Se valoró con 2 de 5por Usuario de Firefox 14561823, hace 2 años日本語環境では上手く動きません。IMEで変換候補決定時にEnterすると、入力が終了して適用されてしまいます。
IMEを使用する他の言語でも同様と思われます。 - Se valoró con 1 de 5por lyoon, hace 2 años

- Se valoró con 2 de 5por hbn, hace 3 añosUnfortunately doesn't rename across the domain, or if you reload the page. Would recommend Tab Mix instead.
- Se valoró con 5 de 5por Vadi2, hace 3 añosWorks great - would love to be able to rename from the right-click menu as well
- Se valoró con 2 de 5por Usuario de Firefox 12452163, hace 4 añosLooked good at first - simple and easy. But my saved names aren't persisting - they're reverting back to defaults.

- Se valoró con 5 de 5por impal0r, hace 4 añosExtension is easy to use, powerful thanks to the regex feature, and the instructions are thorough. My only problem with it is that it doesn't work for pdf files - but I've found this problem with other tab renaming extensions as well. Is changing the tab title of a pdf generally impossible in firefox?
