by worseldine, 8 years agoOk everyone we get it you’re disappointed that colorful tabs are not performing as it once did, BUT Shivanand Sharma is doing his best.
the reason that colorful tabs is not working as it did pre FF57 is because THERE ARE BUGS IN FF57 which are affecting a large portion of developers including Shivanand efforts to get their apps working as they once did.
Stop with this ill founded 1 staring those developers who are affected, because it’s not fair and will only result in developers heading for the hills and abandoning the app and likely not even bother with developing others. Making the statement that colorful tabs use to be good but is not now and giving a 1 star is not helpful and gives an unfair rating on the current version.
Yes we all want colorful tabs to run as it once did and none more so than Shivanand himself. Shivanand has managed to get a version of colorful tabs working all be it not as it once did he hopes that in time it will work as we all want it to but comparing the new version 32 to the version 31 should not be done its unfair and not helpful especially when Shivanand is being hampered by Mozilla programming of ff57.
As to colorful tabs- version 31 works in FF56 and below [I have ff55 running] so if you can't practice a little patience and understanding the best option is don't disrespect the developers by making negative statements and berating them for something that is out of their control. Giving a 1 star rating because the new version does not work the same way as the pre ff57 version is out of order and total unfair. If you can’t be objective on the new version 32 which runs on ff57 without comparing it to the version 31 which run on ff56 and below then you should not make a rating at all. Just practice a little patience and understanding and wait until Mozilla have ironed out the ff57 bugs.
You could also simply revert to a previous version of FF but make sure you disable both FF & COLORFUL TABS updates and simply wait until the FF57 bugs are corrected. DON'T yell at the add-on developers by giving just 1 star as it WILL simply kill the add-on of, BEST to not make a comment at all and just check back to see what the latest news on those FF57 bugs and if they have been corrected.
Remember FF57 HAS A NUMBER OF BUGS stopping developer’s attempts to get some of the older add-ons working correctly for now. Give the developers credit where due but don’t disrespect them when the ff57 bug strikes it’s not their fault.
I have given a 4 star rating for the current version of colorful tabs as others say it is disabling themes [yes i do have it running on my small notebook which i do not use often and I don’t use themes, i have had no issues with the new version other than the one tab only being coloured at a time but that’s down to ff57 bug]. But i give a 5+ star rating for version 31.

- Rated 5 out of 5by MarkusProkott, a month agoBest add-on ever. It's so essential.
Read Bug 1320585 on Bugzilla. OMG, why don't they implement tab colouring??? They even locked comments on that bug after they saw that so many people would love to have tab colours. Why do they hate users so much?
It's nice to have at least that current workaround with ColorfulTabs. I needed the original XUL addon so much, that I actually extended it to have C&P functionality.
IMO, tab colour should not be left to addon developers, but should be a HTML meta property like: . It belongs to the same place as favicons. It's weird that you can set a favicon in HTML, but not a background to it. The first one is totally normal – the second a sacrilege? This way it would be as easy as CSS to overide the tab colour with a user or extension set colour. - Rated 4 out of 5by CJIS, 6 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by malau, a year agoIt was useless 3 years ago, and it's useless today !
All the tabs remain the same colour UNLESS you click on one of them !!!!!!!
The Extension SHOULD colour all tabs at the top of the screen a different colour, because by default they are all white. But it doesn't. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18488585, a year agoI have not been able to get more than 1 tab colored and that one is the open tab. I would love to have my tab colors back
- Rated 1 out of 5by Moamar, a year agoNot working, no trace of any way to select a colour for any tab, I uninstalled it

- Rated 1 out of 5by Greenberg, a year agoIt used to work now I cant get it to work. It used to work was a great addon when you have many open windows in multi-row especially although for that you have to use Floorp Firefox based browser.

- Rated 2 out of 5by phunk, 2 years agoCan developer PLEASE EXPLAIN why this add-on required "Access your data for all websites" permission? That sounds like an EXTREME SECURITY RISK, for an unknown use or benefit.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Ant, 2 years agoExtension not looks like on screenshot - it change background of whole browser and does not change color of inactive tabs
