- Rated 5 out of 5by Jay V, 6 years agoFinally found something that really works!
Can you add functionality to edit saved titles?Developer response
posted 6 years agoThanks!
Yes... that's on my todo list :P I'll get to it when I have more time.
EDIT: v1.5.1 has this feature now :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Davin, 7 years agoSimple and it works like a charm! It would be excellent if we can change the favicon too, in case we want to hide both favicon and title as well.

I was thinking of making an add-on for favicons too, so we'll see :) - Rated 4 out of 5by piecevcake, 7 years ago(Updated 13/11/19) Thanks Laz for a very good addon. Love that you can stick titles permanently to # on pages! (for tricky sites like booking.com). And can open saved pages from the addon options dialog.
Tip for those pages you need to keep from tricky sites (from bitter experience):
1. rename the EXACT MATCH first (stops page rewrites wiping the titles)
2. then apply the same name to the tab (so you know which page the tab should be on, annotate it etc)
3. you can switch tabs to copy text from another tab (eg message list) into the title dialog.
FEATURE REQUESTS---
1. DONE-THANKS :) shortcut to open the dialog (customised to CtrlAlt_H)
2. DONE Have the old title pre-selected in the new name entry field -save using the mouse every time! +)
3. Please put edit saved tabs in a sidebar or better still in a new tab - the ridiculous addon options box is impossible to use. :(
4. Is it possible to put in tabs' right click context menu, to rename UNLOADED tabs? Reasons:
(a) Having to navigate away wait to load, retitle then Ctrl_Tab back to previous tab =distracting
(b) Tree Tabs imports tabs unloaded with the custom titles, but when they are loaded the custom titles are overwritten (because the restored tab is not in retitle memory; NOTE: you can now retrieve the old title, if you are quick, by pressing the Retitle shortcut after the tab is activated, before the title is overwritten). Retitling unloaded tabs would be very useful as I often have to import whole groups of tabs I have annotated previously! So rightclick,R and old name already in name entry box would make this a simple process!)
I use retitle all the time, it is frustrating to have to mouse click and wait for pages to load - and lose all my old titles on imported tabs. (NO problems of course on FF session restore - it saves them.)
==============
Great work making this indispensible! The ability to permanently rename tabs is my fave.
workaround for dumb mozilla pages which block renaming- create a local tab (text file) as child and retitle that to annotate.
I love that you can Ctrl-Tab to the dumb mozilla tab while renaming the local tab and copy the heading- helps a lot with annotation!Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for the review! Yeah if anyone's having a problem, make sure it's updated to the new version (currently 1.4.3).
I'm pretty sure that random renaming bug has been fixed, so let me know in the update! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13838232, 7 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by johnmblack, 7 years agoVery good work so far -- however, to be truly useful, it needs to allow us to *prepend* something, not just replace it completely. I'm a developer using this across multiple environments for the same product (local, dev, QA, staging, production.) I would love to prepend "QA - nnnn", etc. Maybe you can make this an option, or at least allow us to use {0}-style replacement for the original title?
Developer response
posted 7 years agoAh thanks for the review and input. Having {0} or something to represent the original title should be fairly easy. I might include that in the next update.
EDIT: (v1.4.3) This feature has been added, with $0 meaning the original title. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13990837, 7 years agoFANTASTIC! Looks good, and everything you need is in the options (Default name type, and removing tags), and its compatible with other tab applications. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks!!

posted 7 years agoThanks for the review! I'm slowly developing new features such as importing bookmark names. - Rated 5 out of 5by Mark, 7 years agoHi. You told someone else you added the feature to rename tabs according to how our bookmarks are named, because of that I installed this addon but I don't see that option. Is it because that update to your addon hasn't been approved yet and you are still waiting on it?
Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for the review! I'm working on the update to include the bookmark title feature, and it should be available by the end of next week.
EDIT: (v1.4.2) Sorry it took way longer than a week, but this option is now here. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13855188, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by benwinden, 7 years agoI like your add-on. But I have one remark. In Options, what is the difference between 'Set for this tab' and 'Only exact match'? I tried both a bit, and Only exact match seems to work better.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for using the add-on :) "Set for this tab" binds a title to that tab, so you can go to any website and the title would remain the same. "Only exact match" checks for the exact URL match instead. - Rated 5 out of 5by a3overgaauw, 7 years agoWorks as advertised, and the developer just added the option to have a one-time title. Now this add-on is truly excellent.
I have a suggestion. Is it possible that Tab Retitle shows, when available, your own title from your own bookmarks? As many people I have a lot of bookmarks and it would save time and effort if I would not have to retype those titles.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThanks for the review!! I've just added that feature with a few more improvements :)
EDIT: That's an interesting suggestion. I will look into how I might implement that!
EDIT2:(v1.4.2) I just like to add that now it's just one click away from using the bookmark title in the new title. Just click the "From bookmark" text that appears when there is one.
