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.

For Firefox : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-Us/firefox/addon/rename-tab-title/

Thanks to @miniware for sending patches

Андрей 2024-12-07: Is it possible to make the extension insert the name of the YouTube channel (or part of it) in the beginning of the name of the tab? There is an extension in the chrome store, which extracts channel name from the video. Can you please add this possibility to combine it with the old title?
Anna Karina Haumann Rasmussen 2024-08-03: So far it is working perfectly
Subhranil Bhunia 2024-06-16: It works as intended but can we get a decent icon please?
Raditya Rasyid 2024-05-28: Can't rename opened file in google drive.
userch 2024-05-20: Excellent! It is so useful for me. Thanks!
Jovan Stojanov 2024-04-07: Just what I needed.
Leopard Tail 2024-03-31: This requires a restart to work properly! Worked pretty well thereafter.... Does anyone know what RegEx syntax it uses, and whether it supports captures?
jsosmd 2024-02-19: 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]

Ali Schipani 2023-08-22: This is exactly what I needed - so easy to use. I often have a lot of tabs open to make my job easier but I am always triple checking I am in the right tab. Now I can work even faster because of this extension without second guessing myself.

Brenda Posh 2023-01-13: I tried about 8 tab title renames and found this one simple and does what it says. I wanted a one time title change. Very easy in my test. Click the tab - click the extension icon - puts up a box to change the title - press save - done. Title changes immediately - no need to refresh (which all others I tried required). I opened another page in the same tab - it kept the new title. I closed the tab and then reopened it - it kept the new title. I did F5 refresh - kept new title. When I opened a new page in a new tab, it old title came back. That works for my purposes - maybe not for everyone, But I give it high ratings for what I wanted.

Сергей Друзь 2022-05-26: Work's fine, easy to use (ง •_•)ง But I prefer to use this "Tab ReTitle". It’s more for my needs.

Patrick Faulconer 2021-11-12: It doesn't work when the page reloads if the site is using jQuery to set the tab title. The developer of this extension could fix this by waiting until the page has fully loaded to set the table title.

Christoffer Brobäck 2021-07-28: the regex doesn't seem to allow capture groups, i added in the title $1 and /1 and didn't get other title results than "$1" and "/1" i would maintain this plugin if the source was on github and i could fork it

KONGOU 3 2020-08-27: Is there a limit to the number of tab titles that can be saved? I have saved hundreds of titles so far. But recently I realized that I can no longer save. If the limit is set, please remove it. Or please tell me the file name of the local file where the settings are saved. Thank you.

Tim Hueller (TwoCables) 2020-03-29: I wanted an extension that would rename a tab for YouTube history to "History - YouTube" from the Google-forced "YouTube". I tried a few and none of them worked. Then I tried Rename Tab Title and my search ended. :) Now every time I go to my YouTube history, boom: the tab title changes to "History - YouTube". Thank you, Anush Veeranala! Edit: Now it's no longer holding the title of "History - YouTube". It holds it for a while, but after some indeterminate amount of time, it goes back to "YouTube". I can never predict when it will do that. Back to the proverbial drawing board...

Pairs Doll 2019-01-14: 这个插件很方便，我做淘宝的工作，先打开多个产品网页，用Rename Tab Title重命名每个标签为产品的名称，然后用Onetab保存所有网页，以后用Onetab再可以一次打开所有重命名的网页，方便工作。
