About this extension
A custom animated new tab page for Firefox. Replaces the default new tab with an interactive starfield, planetary system, and comet simulator.

Features
  • Canvas Animations: Interactive comets, planetary orbits, and a parallax starfield.
  • Dynamic Theme: Auto-switches between light and dark modes based on local time.
  • Live Data: Displays current weather (via Open-Meteo API), lunar phase, and sidereal time.
  • Shortcuts: Configurable quick links.

Installation
  1. Install the extension in Firefox.
  2. For the intended visual experience, pair this extension with the corresponding userChrome.css modifications found at https://github.com/snes19xx.

Privacy

This extension makes external network requests to api.open-meteo.com and geocoding-api.open-meteo.com to fetch weather and location coordinates. It does not collect, store, or transmit personal telemetry or user data to the developer.
