Firefox introduced the world to the concept of tabbed browsing, and in doing so eliminated the need for people to run multiple instances of the same browser ever again. The only downside to the Firefox tabs is that when you have several tabs open they all tend to run together. Fortunately that little problem is solved with Colorful Tabs.

What Colorful Tabs does is give each tab its own background color, and it allows you to customize them however you want. You can let Colorful Tabs generate tab colors at random or by domain name, and you can even preset colors for domains of your choosing (i.e. setting your blog domain to have a blue tab).

Here are below-and-after images:

There are a couple other options provided as well, such as fading the non-selected tabs and highlighting the selected tab (which admittedly isn’t much of a change when also using faded non-selected tabs):

Colorful Tabs has been around for awhile and is currently at version 3.9. You can download and install it here.
