## Description

FireTitle is a powerful Firefox web extension designed to enhance the presentation of tab and window titles. It allows users to assign mnemonic and informative labels to browser windows, helping you quickly identify and switch between Firefox windows. While this web extension version has some limitations due to WebExtension API restrictions, it still supports customizable patterns such as browser version, build ID, user-defined window and profile names, and tab counts.

Optimized for Firefox and related browsers, FireTitle improves productivity by making window management straightforward. Features include keyboard shortcuts for easy title editing (Ctrl-; or Ctrl-,), customizable patterns for labeling, and community translation support. Note that due to API constraints, some advanced features of the original FireTitle may be limited in this webextension version.
