Rename Tab Title av Anush Veeranala
Recension av Mark Craig

av Mark Craig, för 7 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 Scepty, för 4 månader sedanWorks great, unlike similar extensions that claim to function similarly.
- Betygsatt 3 av 5av WuJiao2000, för 7 månader 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 8 månader 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 ett år sedan

- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Firefox-användare 16523093, för 2 år sedanI've just installed it and it works perfectly. It has keyboard shortcut which is awesome. Groovy!
- Betygsatt 2 av 5av hbn, för 2 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 2 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 3 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 3 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?
- Betygsatt 4 av 5av rediffusion, för 3 år sedanWork's fine, easy to use (ง •_•)ง
But I prefer to use this "Tab ReTitle".
It’s more for my needs. - Betygsatt 2 av 5av Firefox-användare 17290971, för 3 år sedanI 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. - Betygsatt 4 av 5av allan999, för 3 år sedanI 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 :) - Betygsatt 5 av 5av BlackVega, för 3 år sedanThis extension is exactly what I needed! My only issue is that I cannot rename a PDF. Is there a work around?
- Betygsatt 4 av 5av Firefox-användare 12712466, för 3 år sedanPretty 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.

- Betygsatt 2 av 5av Pastel Dark Mode, för 4 år sedanWorks fine for static pages, but does not override pages changing their own titles.

- Betygsatt 3 av 5av dapgo, för 4 år sedanIt works but lacks of usability. learn how to add URLs and patterns require some test as UI is pretty confusing. It is a promising addon
