Adaptive Tab Bar Color is a Firefox add-on that dynamically changes the browser's tab bar color to match the website you're viewing, similar to macOS Safari's tint effect. It enhances visual coherence while browsing by adapting Firefox's theme in real-time.

This extension works seamlessly with popular add-ons like Dark Reader, Stylish, and Dark Mode Website Switcher, but requires Firefox 112.0 or newer and is incompatible with other theme-changing add-ons. It supports CSS themes using system color variables and offers tips for Linux users to maintain native titlebar button styles. Users are reminded to be cautious distinguishing browser UI from web UI for security.
