CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This small, artsy add-on uses vibrant hues to help differentiate tabs on your Firefox browser. Colorful Tabs has no interface. In guerilla-like fashion, the different shades just appear after you install the program, launch your browser, and open a new tab. However, this latest update puts you in control, letting you choose the color of each tab and the level of fade-out for nonactive ones. Configuration couldn't be simpler. Colorful Tabs offers a great variation from the same standard color and does actually help you to more quickly distinguish between tabs. Free and small, any Firefox user wanting to add color to their tabs will appreciate this extension piece.Publisher's description
From Shivanand Sharma :This Firefox extension is a beautiful yet simple add-on that offers a strong colorful appeal. It makes every tab a different color so that they are easy to distinguish while beautifying the overall appearance of the Firefox interface.
Version 2.0.9 adds tab fading and coloring of individual tabs.
CNET Editor's Note: The Download Now link will prompt a local download of the Firefox extension. To install the extension directly, open the file using your Firefox browser.

Version: Colorful Tabs 2.0.9
"Much better because of the matched-colour line atop the pages."
Pros: Not only self-referring colours but they continue along the top making it VERY CLEAR INDEED which tab is being worked on: brilliant! Ulta-quick t/fer from tab-2-tab, self-identifying pastel-connected colours (I hope that makes sense!)
Cons: How do I get it on a solo page & how do I get a different page for each change? This NOT your prob, I know but some-ome must know, surely!

Version: Colorful Tabs 2.0.9
Pros: Sounds like some nice eye-candy for Firefox.
Cons: Firefox 3 refuses to install it, claiming that the publisher does not provide secure updates. Drat... I really wanted to try this one out!
