Rename Tab Title av Anush Veeranala
Recension av Mark Craig
Betygsatt 5 av 5
av Mark Craig, för 9 år sedanFar 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.

- Betygsatt 4 av 5av mrnhrd, för 3 månader sedanWorks 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 :-) - Betygsatt 5 av 5av Anon007, för 5 månader sedan
- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Firefox-användare 18054630, för 6 månader sedanThe tab name changes back to the default tab name after you interact with the page.

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Darchon, för 10 månader sedanDoesn't work. clicking save doesn't rename tab. dropdown of urls doesn't show any urls.
- Betygsatt 5 av 5av fonzkji, för ett år sedanWorks well for me - thank you very much for developing it!

- Betygsatt 2 av 5av Firefox-användare 18999368, för ett år sedanWish 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.
- Betygsatt 4 av 5av Scepty, för 2 år sedanWorks great, unlike similar extensions that claim to function similarly.
- Betygsatt 3 av 5av WuJiao2000, för 2 år sedanNot 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 - Betygsatt 2 av 5av Firefox-användare 14561823, för 2 år sedan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。 - Betygsatt 1 av 5av lyoon, för 2 år sedan

- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Firefox-användare 16523093, för 3 år sedanI've just installed it and it works perfectly. It has keyboard shortcut which is awesome. Groovy!
- Betygsatt 2 av 5av hbn, för 3 år sedanUnfortunately doesn't rename across the domain, or if you reload the page. Would recommend Tab Mix instead.
- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Vadi2, för 3 år sedanWorks great - would love to be able to rename from the right-click menu as well
- Betygsatt 2 av 5av Firefox-användare 12452163, för 4 år sedanLooked good at first - simple and easy. But my saved names aren't persisting - they're reverting back to defaults.

- Betygsatt 5 av 5av impal0r, för 4 år sedanExtension 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?
