## Review summary

Users praise domain-based titling, flexible per-tab and per-URL renaming, and regex-driven customization that helps organize tabs. However, persistence issues (renamed titles not surviving sessions), reliability gaps on certain tabs or contexts, and missing quick UI options (context-menu rename) are common drawbacks. Overall, the add-on is useful for domain-aware titling and organization, but reliability and ease-of-use improvements are frequently requested.

### Pros

- Domain-level titling works; it can extract the domain into the tab title.
- Flexible renaming options: rename a tab for a single session or permanently for a URL.
- Regex-based title customization for tailoring titles (e.g., removing junk or extracting domain).
- Helps organize/clarify tabs and improves readability of open tabs (tidier tabs, easier to see what you have open).

### Cons

- Titles do not persist between Firefox sessions when set-for-this-tab; persistence is broken.
- Reliability is inconsistent; some tabs (e.g., New Tab) don’t rename correctly and actions can affect other tabs.
- UI/UX improvements are requested: no quick context-menu Rename option; would like double-click or right-click rename support.
