- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13426857, 7 years agoThe old Version uo to firefox was very great. Version 3 with Firefox 57 is horror. Wher can i find the (former) options/settings for individual outfit? In this time no use for the add-on, horror. U. Neumann
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13477789, 7 years agoI LOVED the old Colorful Tabs. But now, I'm not so in love anymore. Until it colors the tabs like the original one did and doesn't make my theme black, I won't use it. Since I recently donated so it can be fixed, I'm hoping it will be fixed soon.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13497878, 7 years agoSure glad this was updated, was NOT the least bit happy that firefox disabled.
This and ftp are major points for me and ftp is no longer available!
So much for helping out but I do understand.
Just that some of us old people don't much like change. - Rated 1 out of 5by Denis, 7 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13497151, 7 years agoSame problems as everyone else. A previously great extension now severely damaged
- Rated 1 out of 5by hdrab1950, 7 years agoNew version to become Firefox quantum compatible not working properly. If you have a single tab, the entire tab + all of the window framing is colored, so can't read text, see icons, etc.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13496787, 7 years agoColorFulTabs was the number 1 thing I installed in any FF environment. 57 Broke it but your new ver does not work. Or more correctly does not do anything useful and actually harms visibility.
Will remove it for now. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13496483, 7 years agoI have been using this add-on for a long time and loved. Sadly it no loner works on FF 57 - not your fault as Mozilla as moved to webextensions. However, I have another system still running FF 56 for extensions compatibility reasons and I find the latest CT version (32) is no longer working on FF 56. Please keep the old version working.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13496203, 7 years agoColors too strong now. In FF 57 I have no options to modify CT's operation. I will now delete it for a while. Up to now it's been brilliant, thanks.

- Rated 1 out of 5by wilf21, 7 years agoI really liked colorful tabs and I very much appreciate the developer's attempts, against difficult odds, to get it working on the new Firefox 57. It's not at a useful point for me as yet, though. I'll keep trying it again as new versions come out.
I would respond to phubert's comment about going over to Chrome by saying that, over many years, I have never managed to get the Chrome developers to listen to any issues I have had with it and so I'm trying hard to stick with Firefox despite its current drawbacks. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12073697, 7 years agoThe new version has become useless. Instead of coloring inactive tabs with faded versions of their active colour, it fades all inactive tabs to some kind of unreadable black & grey, unrelated to their active colour. This has removed the reason why I wanted it, which was to quickly locate the tab I wished to switch to.
- Rated 1 out of 5by orejano, 7 years agoNew version made my pc crash. Disabled it and my computer ran again.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Espirito, 7 years agoAddon is NOT compatible with Firefox 56.* from NOW! Why it updates automatically?
- Rated 4 out of 5by Wessan, 7 years agoI really like this extension and its really vital to me.
Unfortunately Firefox has migrated to Webextensions and that together with a bug in Firefox has made the life difficult for the developer.
I understand the complaints since the black background on non active tabs make it impossible to read the text, but I also appreciate the developer to try and fix this this the best way he can with the tools he has available.
Please support the developer so he/they can continue to work on this addon. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13458328, 7 years agoYou know what's wrong with it in Firefox 57. Please fix.
- Rated 3 out of 5by phubert, 7 years agoThanks for the response Shivanand Sharma! I still think Mozilla is trying to move everyone OFF Firefox! Tyler Downer is the manager for the User Advocacy team at Mozilla and I'd like to know just what sort of "user advocacy" takes place?
It certainly seems Mozilla never ran any SURVEY of users regarding the changes TO Firefox and what it would immediately break!
Worse still, they keep updating OVER my restored earlier versions of FIrefox - FORCING me back to Quantum!
THAT approach is hardly one that endears them to users!
Without my extensions, Firefox is NO DIFFERENT FROM Chrome or Safari - so exactly what is my incentive to STAY with a group that has no interest in listening to me? - Rated 1 out of 5by Ken430TX, 7 years agoI disabled this as it no longer works wells with the new Firefox Quantum 57.0. Too bad, this was a nice add on previously.
- Rated 1 out of 5by pandapal, 7 years agoLike many others, I have to give this one star now - in the past it was definitely 5 stars!! Now only the tab I'm looking at is colored - all the othres are "transparent" so that I have to click on each one to be able to read the tab. The theme at the top doesn't show through anymore. I know many of the problems are related to changes in FF - hopefully the author of this extension can make the needed changes & get CT back to the superior add-on that it used to be. Lots of us are hopeful!! I was even going to donate, but I wish I could enter the amount I would like to donate, but there are only set amounts that I can choose. Change this & I'll send a few bucks when this is fixed & I'll give a 5 star rating too! When will I learn NOT to update FF??? I held out for months without updating & FF was running SO slow I finally told myself I had to do it. I thought I was updating to 56 but instead I got 57 Quantum & I think that's why so many issues. (It is faster, though....)
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12060908, 7 years agoIch habe das Addon bis FF 56 geliebt... - aber die neue für FF 57 Version geht leider gar nicht!

- Rated 2 out of 5by ellisaana, 7 years agoI do miss my colorful tabs, but the newest version does not work for me. It blacks out the theme, task bar and all tabs except the one in use, making it too difficult to navigate. With reluctance, I have decided to disable the extension.
