HashColouredTabs

Description:

When your tab bar becomes cluttered, you often have to rely on seeing the icons alone to tell which website is loaded inside which tab. But not all websites have predefined icons. This Firefox extension will give them one. Each tab is given an icon that is coloured depending on the domain from which it is loaded.

Install

Configuration/Options:

(As corresponding to the screenshot.)

Display coloured icons only after a minimum number of tabs has been opened.
Restrict the spectrum of colours to use. This option can be used to make the colours blend in more to the browser's theme.
Don't use website defined icons. Only use hash coloured icons.
