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.

MyProposal/ partial work-around:
   []There are several usecases for Tab/bookmarks renaming, and as such
     allows an easy implementation mechanism, wrt current FireFox:
------------------------------------
Case 1 : OpenTabs
TabLink Plus, was excellent, (
   [] before Firefox forced new addon’s…; I used it all the time… )
   [] since it is NOT on/official Moz monitoring, I would not use it in Private browsing, since security is paramount…
      thus it is not useful, for my purposes...
  
See next usecase, for a proposed, temp solution that works in both Container tabs, Normal or Private browsing, so all code is reviewed by Mozilla, Firefox team

Case 2  Existing Bookmarked tab, to OpenTab
   a) I select a group of OpenTabs, -OR- drag a tab(s) into some position on my opened, LHS, Bookmarks;

   b) I rename the tabs, so they are meaningful to ME;
      This can be done via:
          [1] Save an OpenTab, which you want to rename
            [] collect such OpenTabs via Ctrl+Select,  or individually,
               Rclick.Bookmark
              [] I always save tabs to One locaton I set for all changes
                 I call that location something like _ReadingLearning, or MyIngests
                 You can select the location in a the Firefox bookmark save dialog
          [2] Navigate.Cursor to Bookmark so created
          [3] Rclick.Edit_Bookmark, to edit the name, to make it meaningful to you
          [4] Then Rclick.OpenInNew{Tab | Window).type

----Unfortunately---,  when one tries to open the Named.Bookmark
   the now OpenTab, will pickup the Name of from the  URL, webpage, that the Bookmark saved.

Case 3  That is wherein Moz can make a slight change in the code, as follows:
    a) offer Rclick.Bookmark.OpenUsingMyName.inNew{...same as current options}

Case 4  Alternatively, one could add an extra field to bookmarks,
      But that would require more code, & have backwards (older-bookmarks) issues..
---------------------------------------

To me the Case3 scenario works best
    a) this might encounter following complexity:
       [] on page Refresh, would have to check my name, asume curr code again takes TabName from URL;
          instead of remembering the UserName (currName), then refreshing, then reLabling w userName
       [] on re-bookmark, should work, in similar manner, 
          noting that duplicate, bookmarks are sometimes useful, eg., Acct DrA,  Acct DrB, both with userName Appointments

    b) while at it, this would allow the same code group, to manage things like:
         [] the color of both the bookmarked & OpenTab
         [] the website or myPreferred Icon for that bookmark
    Both the above make Firefox more userTailorable, than generic.  it builds upon the generics.
