Add-on summary
This extension adds the hostname of the currently active tab to the front of the window's title. For example, if you are viewing example.com the window title will be "example.com - {page title} - Mozilla Firefox".
This makes it possible to use the autotype feature of KeePass, KeePassX, or KeePassXC.
The string that gets prepended is user editable and can currently include the current page title and any of several url parts.
Unlike similar extensions, the core behavior of this extension does not interfere with the title of a page or interact with a page's DOM, so it shouldn't break any websites. There are currently two bugs that affect this extension:
- 1387425 causes the title of the window to not have the hostname in it if the active page of that window doesn't have a title. There is an optional workaround for this bug in the extension's options, but even then it can still occur if a page deliberatly sets it's title to nothing later.
- 1396010 is related to the positioning of the text. It is currently only possible to prepend text to a window's title, so the hostname cannot currently be put anywhere but the front. There is an optional workaround for this bug in the extension's options, but it will cause the tab's title to show up in the window's title twice.
