Features & Capabilities

This extension adds the hostname of the currently active tab to the front of the window's title. For example, if you are viewing example.com the window title will be "example.com - {page title} - Mozilla Firefox".

This makes it possible to use the autotype feature of KeePass, KeePassX, or KeePassXC.

The string that gets prepended is user editable and can currently include the current page title and any of several url parts.

Unlike similar extensions, the core behavior of this extension does not interfere with the title of a page or interact with a page's DOM, so it shouldn't break any websites. There are currently two bugs that affect this extension:

1387425 causes the title of the window to not have the hostname in it if the active page of that window doesn't have a title. There is an optional workaround for this bug in the extension's options, but even then it can still occur if a page deliberatly sets it's title to nothing later.
1396010 is related to the positioning of the text. It is currently only possible to prepend text to a window's title, so the hostname cannot currently be put anywhere but the front. There is an optional workaround for this bug in the extension's options, but it will cause the tab's title to show up in the window's title twice.

Is Hostname in Window Title 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.

Hostname in Window Title requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

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.

Hostname in Window Title has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
