nga 13832595 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 7 vite më parëIt 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.

- Vlerësuar me 2 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 18999368 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 3 muaj më parëWish 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.
- Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Scepty, 7 muaj më parëWorks great, unlike similar extensions that claim to function similarly.
- Vlerësuar me 5 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Baerchen, 9 muaj më parëThose Idiot with low stars. WORK AS INTENDED
- Vlerësuar me 3 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga WuJiao2000, 10 muaj më parëNot 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 - Vlerësuar me 2 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 14561823 përdoruesi Firefox-i, një vit më parë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。 - Vlerësuar me 5 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga gega, një vit më parëIt is working absolutely fine! So useful, thank you

- Vlerësuar me 5 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 16523093 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 2 vite më parëI've just installed it and it works perfectly. It has keyboard shortcut which is awesome. Groovy!
- Vlerësuar me 2 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga hbn, 2 vite më parëUnfortunately doesn't rename across the domain, or if you reload the page. Would recommend Tab Mix instead.
- Vlerësuar me 5 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Vadi2, 2 vite më parëWorks great - would love to be able to rename from the right-click menu as well
- Vlerësuar me 5 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Dev Tiago França - tiagofranca.com, 3 vite më parëAmazing and simple
- Vlerësuar me 2 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 12452163 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 3 vite më parëLooked good at first - simple and easy. But my saved names aren't persisting - they're reverting back to defaults.
- Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Dimar, 3 vite më parë
- Vlerësuar me 5 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga impal0r, 3 vite më parëExtension 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?
- Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga rediffusion, 3 vite më parëWork's fine, easy to use (ง •_•)ง
But I prefer to use this "Tab ReTitle".
It’s more for my needs. - Vlerësuar me 2 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 17290971 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 3 vite më parëI 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. - Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga allan999, 4 vite më parëI 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 :) - Vlerësuar me 5 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga BlackVega, 4 vite më parëThis extension is exactly what I needed! My only issue is that I cannot rename a PDF. Is there a work around?
- Vlerësuar me 4 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga 12712466 përdoruesi Firefox-i, 4 vite më parëPretty 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.

- Vlerësuar me 2 yje nga 5 të mundshëmnga Pastel Dark Mode, 5 vite më parëWorks fine for static pages, but does not override pages changing their own titles.
