Adaptive Tab Bar Colour
Adaptive Tab Bar Colour changes the Firefox theme color to match the appearance of the current website.

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.
