Ability to rename tabs

[ADGrimes]

It would be helpful to have the option to be able to rename tabs. This could help to easily differentiate between tabs that have the same name by default, such as some email clients or messaging applications.

@ADGrimes @Jon That would be interesting here: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/native-tab-grouping-more-customizable-tab-bar/idi-p/303 Because if you have many tabs as mentioned you could rename to check what you were doing

I have these tab names Daily, 15 Min, 30 Min, Weekly.  However, they are not used when I display the tab.

Instead I get MREOstockcharts, UVXYstockcharts, SNDLstockcharts, .... and these are meaningless names for me to reference.

Why can't you fix this problem and present the name in the Tab that I give to the tab.

I like this idea

Definetely need this. I use Tree style tab with many tabs and it's very time-consuming when I have opened more tabs from the same website that have a long name and I have to slect the right one since I don't see the end of the name where is specified the "piece of website" I'm in.

I need this! I like to have tabs open with package tracking information and the ability to name a tab or pin a note to it would be a great reminder of which tracking info goes to which package.

Great idea! Very needed!

God bless y'all!

There are several extensions on AMO (addons.mozilla.org) that are found in a search for "rename tabs." Unfortunately, many of them have a latest version from 2022 or earlier and poor reviews with current Firefox versions in 2023. Today I am using Firefox 112.0.2.

The real problem here (the reason a user needs the ability to rename tabs) is how Firefox automatically names the tabs of different pages on the same website.

Yeah, love this idea. I can already think of two use cases for me:

1) I have the same document open multiple times, to be able to look at different parts of it side-by-side. Would be great to label which one is showing which part of the content

2) When doing research, I'll have multiple tabs open to various articles, and it would be great to be able to just label the tab based not on the article name but on the content in it that I'm using it to reference.

It would be very useful when opening multiple tabs from the same website. I would not have to open each one to find the one I actually want.

Oh yes! This would be very helpful

Hovering over the tabs gives the full tab name, but it would be simpler to rename the tabs.
