by Firefox user 15097235, 5 years agoThis extension is great for a busy student! It does exactly what I wanted it to do. I have a couple suggestions.
1) It would be cool if when I opened a bookmark (that I renamed), the newly opened tab would keep the name I gave the bookmark. For example: I have bookmarks for my online math class that redirect to a login screen before I can get to the "Lesson" I bookmarked. When I click the bookmark and get to the login screen, the tab is still called "L30" or whatever I named the bookmark. After logging in, though, the tab is always just renamed to the name of the website, which is too vague to work with if I want multiple tabs open, so I often use this extension to rename the tabs to something more specific. It would be awesome if this extension could rename my tab back to "L30" when it detects that the site renamed it. Maybe this feature idea is too specific for most people's workflows, but it would help me personally if I could designate tabs so they are not renamed until I leave the website.
The way this would probably work is automatically renaming the tab after the website renames it.
However, if you're browsing reddit or Twitter or something like that, you want the tab name to change with what you're looking at, so this feature should be optional and only work when 1) opening a bookmark, and/or 2) you're on a site that you have chosen in settings to activate this feature. (e.g. I only want this to happen on wamap.org, the website where I do my math class)
2) Also, the icons for Firefox built-in features are specific to the feature and not just a screenshot like this one (for example: "Print" icon looks like a printer). Here's an idea for what a better icon may look like, based on the "Synced Tabs" icon: Go to: imgur dot com slash Y6mMXEv
Thanks for making this cool extension, dev! I hope I can make an extension this useful one day.
