I reworked the addon, repaired incomplete languages and added colored tab icons and URL icons and renaming the containers yourself

[shiftF12ATwebDOTde]

I like the basic addon very much. however, i missed a few things. like to give my own names to the containers and to be able to easily see a difference between normal tabs and container tabs. so I reworked the complete addon.
i added the feature that you can rename the containers your self,
i added colored icons with the given container name within the URL line
and the same for the tab title itself. so that you can see a colored round icon in tab title when its a container tab and of course there are different colors for different containers.

Nice work, but we can already add our own names to containers can't we? Or do you mean something else?

[shiftF12ATwebDOTde]

Hello. I downloaded the addon and didnt find any possibilty to name the containers myself. instead I found standard preference names like "job" "private" etc. Maybe I was too fast and didnt see that i could change them. However... I added colors and repaired the languages, which were partly 70% empty.

[vaguehit]

yep all my containers are named and I picked their colours, though I did wish there were more colours I could pick from. It does say a lot about how your brain works that you were in too much of a rush to check if you could rename the containers and went straight to reprogramming it yourself...

how many colors would you like to have? if i ever work on it again i will keep that in mind.

No repo link to be able to inspect the changes and only one to install the extension? That's suspicious in this day and age.

well...
i did not post the code here. is that your problem? i reworked it and you obviously didnt test it. i would LOVE to have more people testing it. i use it every day and i am very happy with its functions. dont blame me for people not clicking it and testing it. the addon is reworked, it´s working fine and it does what it is said it does. everybody can test it. do it i sandbox mode if you are afraid of any data being sent anywhere. and if you are a professional in reviewing please PLEASE do so and post your results here. would be at least a nice feedback to see there is nothing harmful in this addon but its only a useful addon that helps you to work with several ebqay, amazon, gmx, web or whatever accounts online/logged in at the same time.

and...
just in case you have some time to test more:
please test my other addons, too

So what you are saying is: "trust me bro"? That's a bit defensive. The onus is on you to show you are providing those modifications in good faith, and following the license of the original work.

instead of generally accusing EVERYONE here of doing something bad, i suggest approaching your fellow human beings a little more kindly.
no, it's not my job to do anything here.
i have already done something. i have painstakingly reprogrammed the addon for ALL of you, for YOU too, and made it better, i don't expect any payment for it, not even a thank you (although it would be really nice to hear one) but i'm certainly not going to justify my work to anyone, but in this case just tell you: if you're not happy with the addon, then just move on and leave me alone. i don't mean you or anyone else any harm. if you want the addon, you're welcome to use it. for free. if you're afraid to use it, don't. period

and. just to be on the safe side: i asked firefox if it was ok if i did this before editing.

64 would be perfect

wow. that is a lot. i thought of making colors and then asked myself how many colors i would be easily able to differenciate while working with firefox. that is why i stuck to those available now. 64... that is a LOT...

[vaguehit]

Not really, it's about the palette of an Amiga in its normal game mode. You can easily differentiate 256 colours in PC VGA mode too. It makes sense for me because at the moment I use the available palette of colours two times over and will need more in future with the work I do.
