Version 1.0.9 — June 2026
Larger custom backgrounds
Upload PNG, JPEG, or GIF images up to 10 MB for your start page wallpaper. Images stay on your device—we never upload them to our servers.

Smoother tab experience
Switching between page tabs (Home, Notes & To-Do, RSS & Queue) no longer flashes your background. Your wallpaper stays put while you work.

Improved backup import
Importing a settings backup from v1.0.8 (or any export that includes a background) now restores your wallpaper correctly and keeps it after you close Settings. Export is still one JSON file you can move between computers.

Mouse wheel tab switching
More reliable on standard notched mice. If your laptop uses smooth-scroll drivers and wheel tab switching feels sticky, open Settings and turn on Disable mouse scroll wheel for tabs.

Under the hood
Efficient local storage for large wallpapers, automatic migration from older versions, and unlimitedStorage so backups and images fit on-device—all data remains local.

Short blurb (stores/social):
v1.0.9: 10 MB custom backgrounds, stable wallpaper when switching tabs, better import from older backups, and smoother mouse-wheel tab switching. All data stays on your device.

1.0.8: Dark mode, fewer facepalms, happier new tabs
Smoother settings flow, tighter alignment between what’s stored and what you see, and the usual small fixes that make the boring stuff… slightly less boring.
- Dark mode that stays put — Import an old backup with dark theme on? Master Settings now keeps up, so you won’t “save” your way back to blinding light by accident.
-Firefox, leveled up — News and fetches play nicer with how Firefox handles extensions, so your feeds are more likely to show up when you want them, not when Mercury is in retrograde.
- Theme backups, decoded — Older exports with quirky casing for theme names still import cleanly. We’re not judging your JSON; we’re just happy you’re here.

My Start Page 1.0.6

• New tab page: search bar with built-in and custom search engines (URL-based; does not change Firefox’s default search engine).
• RSS News: more reliable feed loading, including fallbacks when a feed can’t be fetched directly.
• Settings and Help text clarified for search and privacy.
• No “tabs” permission; home-page shortcut uses copy + normal navigation.

All bookmarks, layout, and preferences stay on your device.

1.0.2

Fix: When "Show widget placement slots" is turned off, the grid no longer reserves extra empty rows, so the vertical scrollbar no longer appears when content fits on screen.
