Rename Tab Title Extension

Renames the Tab Title (Firefox 115+)

Click the icon on the ToolBar (or) use the shortcut Cmd/Ctrl + Shift+ E (can be customized
from chrome://extensions/shortcuts)
You'll get a popup, enter the new title
a)Click on Save (or) Press Enter to Save or Esc to close the popup without saving title
(closing the Popup without saving makes the title non persistent)
---
b) Click on \"Edit All\" in the popup to manage saved titles or use regex feature

In Urls section, select the URL from dropdown located at the bottom of the page
Edit the Title in textbox
Click on save (or) Press Enter to save the title.
Click on delete to delete the title.

In Regex section, add/update regex and the corresponding title and press \"Save\"
eg: /.*google.*/ matches all the websites which has the term google in the url,
/*/ matches all websites

*some websites keeps updating the title on some events (eg: gmail.com updates title whenever hangouts gets initialized and whenever someone pings) this addon doesn't work in such cases as i didn't add the polling. If have any workaround for this please do mention in the comments.. thanks

If you have any suggestion for shortcut.
Please mention it in the comments and the reason why it is better.

jsosmd (ID: 00000051c4052847) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/19/2024 UPDATE: recently, it stopped persisting through restart or even reload; ?due to some Chrome updates? I hope that the publisher will be able to restore its functioning. Because of its prior effectiveness, temporarily I'm reducing my rating by just one star. === PERSISTENCE: this is one of the very few renamers that persists through reload and even restart. SIMPLICITY: no need to go into menus and specify "rules" in order to do the retitling, DOWNSIDE: just one - unlike other retitler extensions, the pop-up's text field does not present the existing title already highlighted, which would enable any new modification of the existing title to automatically erase the existing title; in other words, to type or paste in the new desired title, it takes an extra step to first manually highlight the current title. Were it not for this omission, it would be the very best and easiest retitler around. Windows 11; Vivaldi 6.5
