Rename Tab Title por Anush Veeranala

por Mark Craig , há 8 anos Far 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.

- Avaliado em 2 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 18999368 , há 3 mesesWish 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.
- Avaliado em 4 de 5por Scepty , há 8 mesesWorks great, unlike similar extensions that claim to function similarly.
- Avaliado em 3 de 5por WuJiao2000 , há 10 mesesNot 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 - Avaliado em 2 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 14561823 , há um ano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。 - Avaliado em 2 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 14729298 , há 2 anos
- Avaliado em 5 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 16523093 , há 2 anosI've just installed it and it works perfectly. It has keyboard shortcut which is awesome. Groovy!
- Avaliado em 2 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 12452163 , há 3 anosLooked good at first - simple and easy. But my saved names aren't persisting - they're reverting back to defaults.
- Extension 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?

But I prefer to use this "Tab ReTitle".
It’s more for my needs. - Avaliado em 2 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 17290971 , há 3 anosI compared this addon with "Tab ReTitle" (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/tab-retitle/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search).
This one is quite limited. The custom name is gone even if a small part of the URL changes (for example: you open a price comparison site and add another product). This way, it is not useful for me. The other addon "Tab ReTitle" has several options how persistent a new name should be. - Avaliado em 4 de 5por Utilizador do Firefox 12712466 , há 4 anosPretty good, but one little improvement would make a world of difference for me: Allowing back references in the regex "title" field would allow actual dynamic modification of titles. Example: Matching "\[PROJECT-([0-9]+)\] (.*)" with title "$1 $2" would allow automatic removal of redundant info at the start of the title of most of my issue tracker tabs.
- Avaliado em 2 de 5por Pastel Dark Mode , há 5 anosWorks fine for static pages, but does not override pages changing their own titles.
