I need a replacement for Chromatabs which generates the colour based on the FAVICON – it’s very very handy.
I miss it already

Please make ColorfulTabs compatible with Aero Fox for Firefox 3 it would be absolutly wonderful to get both working, just test yourself: http://bodizzlethemes.blogspot.com

I don’t usually comment on the work of others, especially when they give it away, But I really like Colorful Tabs and realized how wonderful it would be it it could somehow be extended to include bookmarks, and bookmark folders.

Some of us have to keep and use hundreds of bookmarks, so the use of color tagging would be a tremendous addition.

I can confirm what Donavon says too. Please fix this.
And also make default coloring algorithm based on URL (like in Chroma Tabs).
This add-on is awesome! Thank you.

this does not work for the mac version of FF3RC1…would be really cool if it did work with the default theme for mac

I also have the rapid update and then reupdate…

One way to remove the update message is edit the install.rdf in the Application Data folder and remove the data from em:updateURL. Of course, this remove the message but avoid ColorfulTabs to update, unless you check manually.

I am using FF3b5 and FF3RC1 and Colorful Tabs is not working on either for me. I am just using the default theme. I also get the update message showing for the same version that is installed.

I have been using ColorfulTabs with great success in FF3 through most the beta cycle. As others have pointed out the only flaw I see at this stage is the continual message about an update available only it’s for the same version already installed. One nice thing is that ColorfulTabs in FF3 now works with the PitchDark theme which is the first dark theme I have found it to work with. Great work.

¿Can I sugest you an extension? You could parse the page code in search of a special tag… may be a meta in the head, indicating the requested color for the tab.

The, a web developper could select the default color for the tab.

I installed RC1 on my Firefox 3.0 RC1 installation in XP but when running the add-on update checker in Firefox it keeps telling me that ColorfulTabs 3.0 RC1 is available even though the same version is already installed.

Perhaps the version information is mismatched between what gets installed and what is supposedly available? Otherwise everything works great from what I can tell.
