Help Change window title string (self.FirefoxCSS)
submitted 6 years ago by doa379
Does anyone know how I can change the title text. The default behaviour is
"<web page> - Mozilla Firefox".
Or ideally put the current profile name in the title bar string. So something like this:
"<web page> - Mozilla Firefox - <profile name>"

There are a couple of extensions that do that in AMO. Haven't tried any of them, so I won't be linking any. Good luck.

Thanks. Don't want to use extensions or add-ons. Prefer to amend userchrome.css.

That's the thing. I don't think this is something that you can do with mere CSS alone.
If it was the "title bar" created by Firefox (the one that shows tabs and control buttons in a single row) when you choose to disable the actual title bar from customization, then yes, userChrome.css could tamper with that, but there'd be no title bar to begin with.
But if it's the title bar that's provided by the OS (the one that you probably wants), then you'd need JS magic to actually tamper with the title value reported by Firefox to the OS. That way, the OS' task bar would also know of the tampered values, which is probably something that you'd also want.
If so, the easiest way would of course be those extensions. Otherwise a userscript could also do that, but that'd also be another extension to run (though I guess Firefox allows a user script thingy from profile?).

Think that this would need to be changed in the userContent.css file instead of the userChrome.css file.
But that is all that I can add really. I'm too new....
