от Пользователь Firefox 6696096, 8 лет назадThe Addon does the job, but the workflow with the address bar is far from perfect.
When you use "custom url" the addon makes the address bar unusable for the time it takes the browser to completely load the page defined in "custom url".
Let's say my "custom url" is "A".
I open the new tab and start typing the address "B" in the address bar (different from custom url).
1) If the page "A" loads before I finish typing url "B" all my typing was useless, because the addon overwrites my typed url "B" with "A". Or concatenates B+A (more often). I have to start over.
2) If I finish typing url "B" quicker then the addon loads the page "A" (custom url) and press Enter, in most cases the browser ignores my actions. And again, the addon overwrites my typed url "B" with "A". Or concatenates B+A (more often). And again I have to start over.
The only way to cope with this task is to hit ESC key right after Ctrl+T combination, to prevent Firefox from loading the page in the new tab.
As some people said before, it would be better, if the addon would leave the clean address bar and wouldn't mess with user typing. Manual URL entering should have priority over "custom url" loading.
If I want the defined "custom url" to load I would wait for the tab to load. But if I type the URL myself, don't reset the address bar, don't overwrite my entered text.
It's just getting on my nerves. But unfortunately my favorite bookmark-site doesn't have the Firefox addon, so I have to use some middleman-addon like New Tab Override. And the process reminds me of the windows 98 setup, where if to paraphrase they would say "sit back and relax while Firefox+NewTabOverride load the page. Then and only then you will be able to use the address bar to go to some other page"
________________
if you have your CPU heavy loaded with some background task you can see the whole workflow:
Let's say I want to use some "search shortcut" ( "y" for YouTube)
1) I open new tab,
2) quickly type "y trailers" and hit ENTER (to go to YouTube and look for movie trailers)
3) Firefox starts to load YouTube search page
4) "New Tab Override" stops the process and loads the "custom url" instead

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.Ответ разработчика

For obvious security reasons, this is not possible for Firefox extensions. - Оценено на 5 из 5от jc00qe, месяц назад
- Оценено на 5 из 5от Virtual Valtyr, 2 месяца назадFor 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!

размещено 3 месяца назадThe 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 …- Оценено на 5 из 5от Micka149, 4 месяца назад

- Оценено на 5 из 5от Ruan Almeida Rocha, 5 месяцев назадGood 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. - Оценено на 5 из 5от Jonas, 7 месяцев назадGreat extension. Does exactly what it is supposed to do without loads of unnecessary settings. I hope mozilla fixes the "select url"-issue.

- Оценено на 3 из 5от Пользователь Firefox 18538818, 8 месяцев назадIt 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.Ответ разработчика
размещено 8 месяцев назадI 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. - Оценено на 5 из 5от Rudolf_Snail, 8 месяцев назадDoes exactly what I expect it and want it to do — great extension.
- Оценено на 4 из 5от Crinoid, 8 месяцев назадGenerally 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 happensОтвет разработчика
размещено 8 месяцев назадThank you for the review. I can't see any broken settings link. Can you describe what you mean in more detail? - Оценено на 5 из 5от sexipavel, 9 месяцев назад
