User Reviews
Pros
- Provides a quick, reliable way to rename tabs (works via right-click and as advertised).
- Integrates cleanly into the browser with a minimalist address-bar icon, keeping toolbars uncluttered.
- Receives praise for a simple, unobtrusive UI that blends with the browser and is easy to use.
- Often cited as a better option than similar extensions due to easier access from the address bar.
Cons
Recent reviews
One problem. When the address bar is white that is when the address bar has a white background, the pen symbol does not show at all because the pen symbol you use is white (as I assume you use a dark background that has a black address bar so you need a white pen to see it).
You seem to have done your pen in the address bar only when the address bar has a black background.
BUT you forgot to do it for when the address bar has a white background and, in such a case, the pen should show only if the pen is black in this second case; in my case, it only shows a full white space on my address bar instead of a space showing a black pen, as it shows a white space and your white pen but because your pen is white, it ends up showing only a white space.
Moreover, it would be better to allow an icon of your addon to be pinned to the toolbar instead of using a full space on the address bar for every single tab, as I have to change the name of the tab extremely rarely.
Especially considering the fact that your space on my address bar (that has a white background) shows only as a white space without displaying at all a black pen because you created only a white pen for your address bar that has a black background.
Thanks to correct this issue if you can. And thanks to the developer for this addon.

Nice, but when using Windows scale (125%), the icon is not visible.

Works ok but extremely annoying that it doesn't automatically select the existing text. You have to manually select and drag multiple times to get to the end of long existing text.

Is Tab Rename 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.
Tab Rename requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. 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.
Tab Rename has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
