jsosmd (ID: 00000051c4052847) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/21/2023 Does rename a tab, but if the existing name only needs a small modification, it is not easy to do because it is not presented in the field; works for an entirely new name, but it does not persist thru a reload of that tab or a restart of the browser.
