** DEFUNCT ** Important note - this add-on is no longer actively developed. Intended functionality has been superseded by KeePassXC-Browser add-on and KeePassXC software.

This add-on requires basic permissions to store preference data and update loaded web page elements. Read-only elements used are window.location.hostname and window.location.href. Read-write elements used is document.title. No other elements are used or changed.

Once installed, go to "Custom Titlebar Text" add-on preferences. Change the preference to "Custom" and enter custom text to be included in your titlebar text. You may use variables from a drop down menu. For example, try setting it to "ff - {PageDomain} - {PageTitle}" without quotes.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to WebExtensions API security, this add-on does not work on this web site (addons.mozilla.org) and may not work on some mozilla.org domains.

I still use this great extension to provide the domain name in the titlebar. This functionality has NOT been superseded by KeePassXC-Browser add-on, contrary to what the author says :o) Sadly it does not work on some webpages on many website (for instance: https://www.blablacar.fr/login)... Could you fix it?
