Features & Capabilities

Window Titler is a powerful Firefox extension that allows you to customize the title of your browser windows and profiles. This helps in better organization and quick identification of open windows directly from the operating system's window list, task switcher, or the browser's title bar.

To use Window Titler, click its toolbar button or press the default shortcut <kbd>Ctrl+Alt+T</kbd>. You can set profile-specific titles via the extension's settings. Note that Firefox's title bar is disabled by default, but it can be enabled easily through Firefox's customization options.

Window Titler requires permission to access recently closed tabs to maintain your custom titles even after browser restarts. It is open source and welcomes feedback, contributions, and bug reports through its GitHub repository.

Enhance your Firefox experience by labeling your windows clearly and efficiently with Window Titler.

User Reviews

Window Titler lets you label windows with custom titles for easier organization across platforms. Reviews praise its simplicity and cross‑platform usefulness, and its non-intrusive labeling. However, reliability is a major concern: titles frequently vanish after restarts or during use, and Linux shortcut conflicts complicate usage. Some users also worry about ongoing maintenance. Overall, it's a handy tool when it works, but persistence and platform-specific activation issues limit its reliability.

Pros

Adds user-defined titles to browser windows, helping organize multiple windows.
Simple to use: click the icon, enter a title, and the window shows the new title.
Works across macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Titles do not affect webpage titles or screenshots, which is desirable.

Cons

Titles often disappear or are not saved/persist after restart or during use, making the feature unreliable.
Activation issues on Linux due to keyboard shortcut conflicts or toolbar icon not always available; requires manual shortcut management.
Some users feel the project is not actively maintained, leading to unaddressed bugs.

Recent reviews

Very very nice. READ the directions about the title bar.

It works in general, I started to use it when Firefox changed its sorting algorithm in Windows dropdown menu on macos (around version 108 in 2023). It was useful that time. It also works on linux, but it is not that useful. It's a pity the extension is not able to rename windows in "recently closed windows" tab about:firefoxview#opentabs Although this may happen due to inconsitency in Firefox windows naming as mentioned in github.com/tpamula/webextension-window-titler/issues/43 Anyway, the extension is not developed for few years.

Is Window Titler 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.

Window Titler does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

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.

Window Titler has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
