Smart Tab Re(gex)namer Firefox

Smart Tab Re(gex)namer

By: k1nz Add-on
A smart tab renamer powered by regexes: enables tab renaming using regex.

Features & Capabilities

This is a smart tab renamer. You can use regex matching on title for specific URLs to rename tab titles at will.

For each rule, you have 3 fields to fill:

  • target URL pattern: the URLs this rule will apply on
  • title regex (with groups): the regex that will match the tab title. You can use capture groups and use those in the rename pattern.
  • rename pattern: the new name for the tab, can use the captured groups from above.

For example, to rename all tabs on github.com starting with "GitHub -" to the rest of the title:

  • target URL: "github"
  • title regex: "^GitHub - (?<title>.*)$"
  • rename pattern: "<title>".

User Reviews

Excellent! Finally found a tab rename extension that allows renaming based on only the original tab title instead of just the URL. Great if you you have multiple URLs for the same tab title that you want to rename. Survives session restarts as it stores rules and applies them when the page is loaded. Only one suggestion is to add "Smart" to the actual extension name in Firefox (now named "Tab Re(gex)namer")
