    Hello!
    I've tried your extension and it seems to be very helpful but there are some missing features that can make it even better:
    1. Color tabs by parent tab
    Very useful when using Google search and opening many tabs from google.com

    2. When I open a link from the webpage with "color by URL=on", an opened tab gets colored in a while - how about adding an option to color tabs right after opening?

    Maybe bug (FF4.01, clean profile):
    How to set a color for a blank tab in FF4? Setting a concrete color for about:blank in settings doesn't work. And how to tell ColorfulTabs not to color blank tabs at all?

    Question:
    It has already been asked 2 years ago but maybe the things has changed...
    Is this extension compatible with latest stable Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.5 build (can be found on AMO)? I've searched on Tab Mix Plus forum but didn't find an answer.

    Thank you very much for creating and supporting ColorfulTabs!

    Forgot to say: no more other extensions installed, default theme, all plug-ins disabled, ColorfulTabs 4.8.1.6.1, Windows 7, FF4.01.

    I've also found one more compatibility problem with ScrapBook 1.4.4 (https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/scrapbook/) .
    Scrapbook's filepath to the saved webpage looks as file:///C:/folder/file.html and ColorfulTabs always colors it with the same color as the blank tab.

    I am sorry about TMP compatibility question - I thought Latest ColorfulTabs Downloads is just for downloads...
    Is there any list of extensions ColorfulTabs is compatible with? Tab Utilities maybe? The thing is I want to use ColorfulTabs + add-on with multi row tab bar functionality.

    Colorful Tabs works fine with TMP Multi Row Tab Bar for me.

    Thanks for the suggestions Yupi.
    Can you explain your second suggestion? Is it not already possible with coloring schemes one and two?
    Sadly there are so many addons like Tab Mix Plus and it's simply not humanly possible to keep up compatibility with eachone. But we do try our best and as time allows.

    I mean the following (English is my second language, please sorry for my mistakes):
    When you use color scheme 1/2 (color at random/by domain, did I understand it properly?) and open a link, a new tab has a "connecting" title first and during this time the tab is not colored, it gets colored when the title of the tab changes from "connecting" to the header of the opened site.

    I've also asked a question about compatibility with Tab Mix Plus on Tab Mix Plus forum... and those guys actually advised me to install both and see for myself - I guess that means they didn't make TMP compatible with ColorfulTabs.

    However, I've tried using them both and everything seems to work fine so far.

    I've also got one more feature suggestion:
    An option to color all the tabs between the opened tab and tab you clicked the right mouse button on.

    Thank you very much for creating and supporting this add-on!
