Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 13432326, 7 years agoI gave three stars in recognition of the great history and usefulness of this Great Extension
It is too bad the Dictators at Mozilla forced you to inhibit this extension to support their egocentric view of FireFox.
I have had to disable Colorful Tabs it on all systems as 57+ the colours are too irritating
and the extension does not work on <57 (no colours).
Possibly you should consider other browsers, currently I am testing Opera, which is OK (not great).
The advantage Opera has for me at the moment is support for Web Pages saved in a Single File Format
which the Mozilla Dictators killed.
Also, Make Use Of has identified some new players in the browser world,
hopefully one of them will emerge to fill the void Mozilla has created.
Good Luck (& Skill!) as you move forward,
and remember,

- Rated 1 out of 5by Greenberg, 8 days 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, 9 months 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.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Dark Steve, 2 years agoTerrible addon. It changed the colour of the main toolbar/URL bar area too, making everything painfully white and impossible to read. I had to restart the broweser after uninstalling ColorfulTabs to restore the theme. It also broke TreeStyle Tabs, making it impossible to change tabs or even close them. Garbage addon.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Gemini62167, 2 years agoHow can such a lovely idea turn into a fiasco crap show such as this?
As soon as I gave permission for the add-on to work it completely overrode my dark theme utterly and entirely.
Sure, everything than looked as if I had been slipped some acid and then tossed into a bag of skittles...all pretty pretty like. But, then going from all blacks, grays, and whites to an acid trip from hell was worse! I couldn't differentiate one thing from another as everything had been turned into Skittles!
Everywhere I looked, there were Skittles...
There were Skittles there,
And Skittles there...
Here a Skittle!
There a Skittle,
Everywhere a Skittle Skittle!!!!
After putting my eyes back into my head, I had no other choice but to dump the bag just to get my calm, relaxing, and boring Dark Mode back.
So a warning to you all, if you're easily triggered by sudden flashing colors, random flashing lights, or just the random sight of a handful of Skittles coming at you... move on. Save yourself. - Rated 1 out of 5by deilson.elgui, 2 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by cetteame, 2 years agoNe prends pas en compte un thème sombre. Efface sans retour possible les réglages de thème sombre qui étaient définis. Ne prévient pas bien de ces modifications.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Virginwidow, 2 years agoI'm going to have to troublshoot this for an extension conflict... FF 88.0b
The tabs ARE coloured nicely, but only appearing in the sidebar. I may keep it as is for I use a jazillion tabs and nothing seems to make them easy to differentiate - Rated 5 out of 5by BlackShark, 2 years agoGreat Extension!! :) It helps very much, to differentiate when developing in multi-level environments, like Local, Dev, Test, and PRO.
