Features & Capabilities

Please install Tree Style Tab before installing this extension, because this extension depends on it!

This addon would like to color tabs based on the parent tab that opened the tab. So say I am at work searching for a solution to a javascript problem on stackoverflow, so I open a bunch of tabs with possible solutions. Then I get distracted, and I start looking for honey badger images on google images, I open a bunch of tabs with honey badger images. Now all my tabs are mixed up with javascript snippets and honey badgers.

This extension tries to color tabs depending on where they where opened, so that all javascript tabs (tabs opened from the stackoverflow parent tab) are red, and all honey badger tabs (tabs opened from the google images parent tab) are green, so it becomes easy to distinguish them when I go back to look for my js solution.

At the moment this is not possible because of Firefox bug 1320585

So this extension tries to get the favicon of the newly opened tab, and changes the color of the favicon to match that of the parent.

But it will not work

on pages that don't allow content scripts (addons.mozilla.org and stackoverflow for example)
on pages that dynamically change the favicon
a lot of other cases

Is Color Tab Group Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Color Tab Group requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Color Tab Group may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
