About Adaptive Tab Bar Colour

Adaptive Tab Bar Colour is a Firefox add-on for macOS that dynamically adjusts the Firefox theme colour to match the appearance of the current website, similar to tab bar tinting in Safari. It is an open-source project hosted on GitHub. The add-on works alongside Dark Reader, Stylus, and Dark Mode Website Switcher, but conflicts with Adaptive Theme Creator, Chameleon Dynamic Theme, VivaldiFox, Envify, and any other add-on that modifies the Firefox theme. Custom CSS can control colour transitions, apply the adaptive theme to context menus and Sidebery UI, and integrate with third-party CSS themes using Firefox's standard colour variables. A safety reminder advises distinguishing the browser UI from malicious web UIs.
