von scsc, vor 8 JahrenDeactivating the extension replaces the current tab content by a default new tab, destroying all data one is working on and even literally erasing the tab from tab history (no way to use Back). Activating the extension instead closes the current tab. Even now, the tab is completely lost in the void, because ctrl+shift+t causes a "new tab" be opened INSTEAD of the previously closed tab. (EDIT: The previously closed tab is only lost due to a hazard when I press ctrl+shift+t twice very fast.)
Other than that, the addon does what it has to do, and I appreciate the option to gain tab focus instead of the navigation bar. One last thing i'd find very useful is if typing into the address bar before anything gets loaded postponed the process of replacing address bar (deleting anything I've typed) and taking the focus away. Not sure if firefox even provides so much API to achieve this.
// Reply: Well the issue is critical and deserves at least an acknowledgement in the description, as it's an anti-feature. Honestly though, I haven't seen WebExtensions implementation, but I don't believe you at all. I can imagine several workarounds, neither of them were even considered. Is there no API whatsoever to access the last closed tab history, so that you can offer a way to manually re-open the lost tab? Is there absolutely no way not to process your addon when the user presses Ctrl+Shift+T? Is that specific event impossible be detected? Can you not let the default implementation (optionally) load first before redirecting to the user specified site? Also the issue could be reported to WebExtensions devs... Completely blocking the "re-open last tab" support is definitely not acceptable as a final decision. (But I know the WebExtensions suck, there are so many other addons that no longer work even in theory in the new Firefox.)
-> Okay so I decided to try to fix my issue myself and even though I found a WebExtensions solution, there was a bug that I couldn't fix. Still, some safety workarounds could be made. Luckily, I found a workaround instead: disabling the focus setting solved the issue, because it still focuses the new page anyway (the setting is broken), thus it works exactly as I wanted.

It's described in the add-on's description, as all requested permissions:
"The permission to access the browser history is needed to prevent spammy "moz-extension://" entries in your browsing history every time you open a new tab. There is no way to prevent this without this permission." - Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon mozjurmo, vor 19 Tagen

- Bewertet mit 4 von 5 Sternenvon tippex.95, vor 2 MonatenVery good extention, but to b 5 stars, it should have a specific feature for custom URL new pages: the ability to clear the URL bar when the page is loaded and the focus is on the bar, so one could just CTRL+T and start typing to search.
Now you've the focus on the URL bar, but there is the text of the custom URL too, so if you're in a rush, you could search for "[your search]+[custom URL]" on the search engine.Antwort des Entwicklers

For obvious security reasons, this is not possible for Firefox extensions. - Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon jc00qe, vor 2 Monaten
- Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon Virtual Valtyr, vor 3 MonatenFor some reason Firefox no longer lets use specific the new tab url besides blank or Mozilla's tab page, even changing the new tab url string in about:config doesn't work. I tried a couple other extensions and those didn't work. This is the only one I've found that does. So great job Soren!

geschrieben am vor 3 MonatenThe add-on just opens tabs. If this is "sluggish", then it's "sluggish" without the add-on as well … I really don't understand the reason for this bad review …- Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon Micka149, vor 4 Monaten

- Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon Ruan Almeida Rocha, vor 6 MonatenGood extension.
Hello, i have a suggestion
Some users like me press ctrl+T and fastly type the site/search that we want to enter in the new tab (sometimes we just want a new tab to search something, not always the defined new tab one).
Since i started to use the extension i had to adapt myself to press "ctrl+t" - "ctrl+a" and then type what i want to search. (so the search do not go like www.site.comSEARCH
Would be good if in the menu options had a check-box to press F6 or CTRL+L after ctrl+t and then backspace automatically.
For this situation i'm using a AutoHotKey script that does this everytime i press ctrl+t in a browser. But if the program had it pre configured would be good.

I am not sure if that is possible but I will investigate. - Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon Jonas, vor 7 MonatenGreat extension. Does exactly what it is supposed to do without loads of unnecessary settings. I hope mozilla fixes the "select url"-issue.

- Bewertet mit 3 von 5 Sternenvon Firefox-Benutzer 18538818, vor 9 MonatenIt worked for about 10 mins (with google.com as new page) and then is stopped, leaving me back in the FF default home page. Maybe they'll fix it, idk.
Edit: Didn't change anything on the system. I fiddled with it for quite some time after. Also asked ChatGPT, ruled out AdBlockers, still could not work it out. Sorry but this shouldn't take more then a few minutes to set up. May FF is blocking it in some way.Antwort des Entwicklers
geschrieben am vor 9 MonatenI don't understand this poor rating. If the extension worked at first, then it can't be the extension's fault if it no longer works. You must have changed something on your system. The extension doesn't stop working on its own. - Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon Rudolf_Snail, vor 9 MonatenDoes exactly what I expect it and want it to do — great extension.
- Bewertet mit 4 von 5 Sternenvon Crinoid, vor 9 MonatenGenerally works very well, but the settings link on the tools dropdown list doesn't work
edit :
go to the menu bar, click Tools
at the bottom of the list is "New Tab - Settings"
when I click on it, nothing happensAntwort des Entwicklers
geschrieben am vor 9 MonatenThank you for the review. I can't see any broken settings link. Can you describe what you mean in more detail?
