Highlighted / Colored Tabs

[TobyTheG38]

I have an Idea that would be nice to add to the tabs section what if we could color code the tabs that can be distinguish from other open tabs just from glance. It would be nice if I had different tabs open but have the one tab color (or multiple colors) so I know that i can jump to it as soon as I found I'm looking for. For example writing an important paper with X number of tabs open but being able to find the tab that has all my notes. maybe it can be a right click or two touch click and have that option available. Just a thought 🙂

Change Tab Color

I want to change the color each tab or/and to add any comment in order to recognise the semantic tab.

Is this possible?

Yes, I've suggested this too. I haven't seen any new innovation that really popped from browsers in a while. This seems simple and intuitive. I'd also like to add colors to the palette so that I can have a multitude of them. My brain is all over. it'd be nice to at a glance organize the dozen or three tabs I have open.

Pinning Tabs is great also... wanted to include that, but it doesn't help if you have 6 or 8 different directions your brain goes in.

Right-click the tab, select Colorize Tab and enable color picker. How hard can it be to implement?

YES, consider this one more BIG UP-VOTE for this suggestion!

ColorfulTabs is a wonderful add-on that implemented this functionality very well until Firefox some versions ago implemented changes that rendered it non-functional and made it impossible for the developer to update it to function.

It would be fantastic for the Firefox main product to implement this functionality, providing a selection to reset all tabs to the default color, a selection to set all tabs to a given color, a selection to set any individual tab to a given color, or a selection to set all tabs open to a given domain or sub-domain to a given color.

There are several available methods and widgets for a user to specify a chosen color; I suggest at least offering the options to specify via (1) typing a hexidecimal RGB value using text, (2) clicking on a color wheel [possibly with some buttons beneath it, showing a pre-set selection of discrete basic colors], and (3) typing a HUE/SAT/LUM value using text.  Perhaps use the operating systems' built-in color picker dialogs.

A big +1 for this, would help me easily organize and identify tabs. Thanks for all your work!
