User reviews

Users appreciate Tab ReTitle for its ability to temporarily and permanently rename tabs, making tab management clearer and more organized, including features like regex-based automatic title changes. However, many have encountered persistent issues such as renamed titles not saving after restart, inability to rename PDF tabs, lack of convenient context menu options, and problems with new tab pages. Compatibility challenges with recent Firefox versions and pinned tabs were also frequently mentioned, indicating room for improvement on reliability and functionality.
Pros
  • Allows temporary renaming of tabs effectively.
  • Provides option to rename tabs permanently for given URLs.
  • Helps organize and identify tabs more easily, improving tab management.
  • Supports regex for automatic title modification on a domain basis.
  • Stable performance without random failures.
Cons
  • Renamed tab titles often do not persist after restarting Firefox as expected.
  • Cannot rename PDF tabs, a limitation noted by multiple users.
  • Lacks integration with Firefox context menu or double-click for easier renaming.
  • Does not work properly for New Tab pages or pinned tabs with title changes not persisting.
  • Issues reported in recent Firefox versions (107+) causing malfunction or missing features.
Recent reviews
I only use the feature to temporarily rename a tab, but that works flawlessly. It'd be nice to have a "Rename tab" option in the context menu for a tab. If that's available, I couldn't find it in the options.

Extension safety

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 ReTitle 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 Browser Add-ons, 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 ReTitle has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
