Works great, unlike similar extensions that claim to function similarly.

Work's fine, easy to use (ง •_•)ง

But I prefer to use this "Tab ReTitle".
It’s more for my needs.

I like persistence :)

Please also add a Tabbar tab context menu option to rename title. I keep forgetting to look for this rename plugin among my millions of installed extensions :| + #ux :)

Pretty 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.

Very cool. To the author : when we click on the button to rename, please automatically "select all", so we just have to type.

Doesn't work with file:// pages, but straight editing of

Does the work. But a good feature, would be to completely replace the tab title (instead of appending).

Very nice addon, I like the feature that you can automatically rename tabs by a regular expression.

Two additions would make that addon even better:
1. An entry in the context menu of a tab
2. Re-use capturing groups from the RegExp inside the new title. Like "someurl.com/pages/(.*)" --> "Someurl, page $1"

I'm using Bunsen Helium Linux, derived from Debian 9 (Stretch).
Seems to work fine in Firefox Nightly Version 69.0a1 (2019-06-02) (64 bit)

Like others, I'd like it to be an option in the context menu (right mouse button).
The hotkey (Ctrl-Shift-E), is already being used to bring up Network Monitor, so it needs another key def.

This is a classic example of a tool that started out just to do a simple text change, then people wanted it to persist between sessions, then they wanted wildcards for multiple tab changes, etc., etc...
Anyway, its a good add-on; glad I found it.

Nice add-on. I especially like the Regex entry type.
Need a way to import and export tab titles to/from a file in case of a Firefox re-install or migrating to a different computer.

Hey, I might've found a solution for dynamically updated titles. The following code listens for changes of the 'document.title' object and allows you to execute code when it changes. I would send a PR, but it doesn't seem that you're on any public VCS platform.

new MutationObserver(function(mutations) {
console.log(mutations);
// overwrite the title here
}).observe(
document.querySelector('title'),
{
subtree: true,
characterData: true,
childList: true
}
);

Little regrettable. gmail.com don't updates title, but link Addon is update allways
https://bitbucket.org/onemen/tabmix-rename-tab/src/default/

If possible please make focusing tab switch to original title, the extension should hide infocus tabs titles only. Thank you.

Is it possible to use variable in title for regex definition?
for example:
Regex definition:
/.*google\.com.*/ -> title defining as: "[GOOGLE] - %title%"

give for url:
drive.google.com -> [GOOGLE] - My Drive
contacts.google.com -> [GOOGLE] - Google Contacts
calendar.google.com -> [GOOGLE] - Google Calendar

This does exactly what I want.
Rename Tabs to "Change" the title to make them easier to find.
Very easy to use.

Excellent add! So handy to rename cryptic server urls in titles
Would you mind adding an entry on the tab header menu as well? Thanks

Very basic, doesnt permanently rename tabs like tab retitle, but that malfunctions so back to this.
being able to edit the previous name in the box is great, saves a lot of hassle.

Shortcut suggestion: Alt_m.
Reason: ShiftControl_E doesn't work, it opens the firefox debugger! And of course m is the letter to press to rename in windows explorer, so is easy to remember. :-)

feature request/
import and export of saved renamed tab titles
/feature request
every time i update my FF, all saved tab titles are gone. that's annoying (i'm using the portable version of FF).
please continue the good work on this addon. thx.

Below there are some comments that amount to this extension being "inflexible" because it won't work on a global basis but only on individual tabs. The extension is called "Rename Tab Title" and that is exactly what it does. If it renamed every tab from a particular site to exactly the same tab title it would be of no value to me and would indeed be "inflexible". The whole point, surely, is to pinpoint a specific url by a chosen name.
It works just fine (does what it says on tin).

Agree with blake below. Lots of URIs change slightly on every logout/login to the service by changing GET parameters like ?sessionid= or path.

[HOTPATCH] The easiest way would be to only check that many characters that are stored in storage.js[/HOTPATCH]

[FIX] More advanced would be to include wildcards or regex[/FIX]

[FEATURE REQUEST] Another idea would be to sync with bookmark name if the URL is bookmarked! That would make it to a whole new level but that's probably far beyond the scope. [/FEATURE REQUEST]

Thanks for a good add-on anyway!

Works for me on Firefox 58.0.1 but icon in toolbar is almost invisible. It is very light gray on white background on my system. If I knew where to find the icon I might be able to edit it for more contrast.
