- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13482147, 7 years agoThe new version for FF57 is almost unusuable. Tab titles are hard to read and inactive tabs cannot be read at all. Options for color selection appear like for earlier versions seems to be missing as well

I’m lucky we got it to work at all. Currently we can only color the current tab. Thanks to Patrick for coming up with an innovative idea.

This latest update is awful. Unused tabs are not only impossible to see, their titles are blurred, as are the words in the toolbar. I am going to drop this extension if it isn't fixed. It's unusable as it is now.

Please fix that.

I don't like the squared off tabs; I don't like that non-active tabs are transparent. It's definitely a downgrade.

For example BLACK and PURPLE (neon), can't read titles anymore, no preferences possible, completely useless at this stage. Have been using it for years, will miss it.

Turns everything but the current tab invisible, including my menu bar. The invisible portions of the header bar suffer from click-throughs so I am repeatedly selecting the window behind it when I try to move the window. Disabling now. too bad.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13479269, 7 years agoI gave it five stars although it doesn't work right now in FF57, as a token of my appreciation for previous versions of Colorful Tabs. My criticism is aimed at Mozilla for not being cooperative in allowing this add-on to work properly in their latest version. Colorful Tabs isn't merely a pretty addition to the FF interface, it's an essential accessibility enhancement tool for people suffering from various forms of visual impairment, as well as a productivity tool. For the life of me, I can't imagine why Mozilla would choose to ignore the impact and benefits of this wonderful add-on. I'm really tempted to switch over to Chrome over this issue.
- Rated 1 out of 5by muscles68, 7 years agoI have used this for years and loved it.. but it isnt working on the new quantum 57.. if like me you use the top menus you can not see it. it is totally black with very squished blurry text.. it needs more work. make it like it used to be we only need the tabs colored not the top bar

Please also see: https://www.addongenie.com/forums/topic/colorfultabs-disabled-in-firefox-quantum - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13477818, 7 years agoThis add on updates automatically and the latest update REALLY sucks. The only tab I can see is the one I have open, everything else is blacked out. I can't imagine how this could be considered an improvement. I'm really sick and tired of the incessant updates to both color tabs and mozilla. What makes you think I want you to make decisions about how I see MY computer. So far the latest updates on both are nothing I would have chosen. I liked the original ? or was it, that I started using. I am strongly considering not using this browser any longer. It just gets more and more annoying

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13477103, 7 years agoI was fond of Colorful Tabs and had donated before it was disabled by the new version of Firefox.
I found and installed the new version of Colorful Tabs. The download was allowed and it appears in Firefox Add-ons, but Firefox makes Colorful Tabs far from useful. The tab in use is the only tab that is colored. I restarted Firefox to no avail. I restarted the computer, and that didn't help either. The Colorful Tabs options can't be found either. Mo more "Send to beginning, Send to end, change tab color, etc.
What a shame.
When Colorful Tabs works it gets the highest possible ratings, but until then, zero stars.
Good luck, Shivanand. Keep up the good work!Developer response
