Download Install Compare

Rename Tab Title is a powerful browser extension for Firefox (115+) that lets you easily customize the titles of your browser tabs. Simply click the toolbar icon or use the customizable shortcut (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + E) to open a popup where you can enter a new tab title. Save your changes with a click or the Enter key, or dismiss without saving to keep the existing title.

This extension also offers advanced features such as editing saved titles, managing them with regex patterns, and supporting bulk edits for specific URLs. It provides great flexibility by allowing matching generalized URL patterns or specific sites to apply custom tab names. While it handles most sites, it may have limitations on dynamic pages that update titles frequently (like Gmail hangouts). Rename Tab Title enhances your browsing experience by offering better tab organization and personalization options.

User reviews

Users appreciate Rename Tab Title for its simplicity, effectiveness in persisting custom tab names across reloads and restarts, and value in managing many tabs with identical titles. However, common issues include tab titles resetting after page reloads, especially on dynamically updating pages, lack of text auto-selection during editing, limited regex support, and missing right-click context menu options. Despite these drawbacks, overall feedback is positive due to its usefulness and ease of use.
Pros
  • Simple and easy to use interface for renaming tab titles.
  • Renamed titles persist through tab reloads and browser restarts in most cases.
  • Highly useful for users managing many tabs with identical or confusing titles.
  • Quick to rename tabs without needing to refresh or use complex rules.
  • Consistent performance in browsers like Vivaldi and Windows 11 environment.
Cons
  • Renamed tab titles sometimes reset after page reload or navigation, especially on sites using jQuery or dynamic title changes.
  • Lack of default text highlighting when editing title requires manual selection for easy replacement.
  • Limited or no support for regular expression capture groups in renaming patterns.
  • No right-click context menu for quicker access to rename feature.
  • Occasional bugs or failures after Chrome updates affecting persistence of renamed titles.
Recent reviews
Is it possible to make the extension insert the name of the YouTube channel (or part of it) in the beginning of the name of the tab? There is an extension in the chrome store, which extracts channel name from the video. Can you please add this possibility to combine it with the old title?
