What's new?
ColorfulTabs now works with SeaMonkey 2.0, Firefox 3.6 and Flock too. See complete colorfultabs changelog.
Why was ColorfulTabs created?
Tabs are the primary power of Mozillian browsers. A single user session consists of tens of tabs. What if each tab could be colored to add a unique identification? That would differentiate them from each other. It may even indicate which site a particular tab has open. This small idea evolved into ColorfulTabs. It is now everyone's favourite and an essention requirement. We spend a lot of time and effort developing this addon, keeping it updated, adding features, providing free technical support, running a forum and a website and doing everyday things that can't be mentioned. I love doing this and feel satisfaction in the fact that something created by us is so much appreciated.What's next for ColorfulTabs
