Add-on summary

You use more than one Firefox profile and want to get a hint for the profile in minimized window or in browser window?

Then, show profile will help you.

In the new version you could define the prefix of the window title in the options menu. By default, it is 'DEFAULT' . Sadly it is not possible to detect the profile folder name due to restrictions in the new API.

------ Old Version:

Show profile adds the profile folder name (or customize string) to title of window WITHOUT adding to title of TABS (so you could see tab titles without modification). There are also selectable locations on browser window to show the hint string or an icon (or both), which could be individual selected (use your string and own 16x16 pixel image). There is also an option to open the folder of the profile.

Locations (look at screen shots):

  • window title (change once or permanent or no change)
  • Drag and Drop via customize tool bar
  • menu bar
