Firefox Addons
Adaptive Tab Bar Color is a Firefox extension that colors browser Tab Bar to match the theme color of the website you are viewing.
The graphic effect is very nice and you can make it more extreme by the extension settings:
- Allow light tab bar – Allow tab bar to turn bright (might cause flashing)
- Dynamic color update – Keeps updating tab bar color while browsing within a webpage
- Ignore designated theme color – Always ignore theme color defined by the website
It is possible to select the color scheme preference between Automatic, Light or Dark.
It’s all very elegant and allows you to have a fresher and more dynamic interface.
