Firefox users have long been able to customize their tabs with different colors, but there’s now a new way to make your tabs stand out even more. With the new “Highlight Tab” feature, you can make your tabs brighter and more visible on the Firefox toolbar. To use this feature, first open Firefox and click on the three lines in the top right corner of the window. From here, you’ll be able to access your bookmarks, history, and other settings. Next, click on “Tabs.” Here you’ll see a list of all of your open tabs. To highlight a tab, simply click on it and then select “Highlight Tab.” This feature will make your tab stand out from all of the other tabs on your screen and it will also make it easier for you to find it when you need it. If you want to disable this feature or change some of the other settings related to it, be sure to check out Firefox’s official documentation. ..
Before
Here is our example browser with very plain looking tabs…the only parts that really stand out are the favicons. How about getting those tabs to better represent the individual websites using color from the websites themselves?
After
What a difference a little color makes…notice how each of the tab colors bases itself on a “most common color” in each of the webpages.
Note: The settings in the options have reduced the possibility of white being used as a tab color…you may change this further (reducing or increasing) to suit your personal preferences.
Options
Tweak the color settings to modify how your tabs are colored in the “Color Section”.
The “Screenshot Section” is an important part of the options to pay attention to. Make certain to set the “Screenshot Width & Height” to match your monitors screen resolution. This will help you get the best color results on your tabs.
Activate any desired optional tab settings in the “Miscellaneous Section”. Notice that two of the options will require a browser restart.
The “Help Section” explains about the color settings in the first section and also allows you to reset everything back to the original defaults.
Conclusion
If you are a person who wants to have a more pleasing visual experience while browsing, then this is one extension worth taking a look at.
