Seems to causes a slight delay (0.1 seconds?) after opening a new tab, until the address bar becomes available for typing.

This replaces part of the functionality of Tax Mix Plus, which is letting me open new tabs to my homepage.

I've been using New Tab Override for months now and can't imagine working without it. My online workflow is faster and smoother. I'm definitely throwing the developer a few bucks — god bless the lot of them for their good efforts and intentions.

Simple, efficient, useful. Great job!

Nice and simple extension that does its job well

But why do you need to access to the history ?

Edit : I was just asking, needless to be execrable.

It does the trick, and I prefer about:home to about:newtab. My only request is that instead of going to an intermediary address (moz-extension://.../html/newtab.html) set it to the default. It works well other than that.

Have used this add on for ages and find it the most helpful add on I have for Firefox. Unfortunately the latest FF55 destroyed it for my new tabs. It works fine for my Home page so now for each new tab I have to then click on the Home button to see my selections. Works for me but a bit cumbersome. Found no solutions that worked to rectify this in Google.

Now my retina doesn't burn when I click on new tab. I wish it was more responsive though.

Lightweight, easy and it works. Boom!

This makes my life easier, especially at work. I've been using for almost a year now. And, it's worked perfectly. I couldn't ask for a better add-on.

I when Internet surfing use the add-on "Fast dial". A link on the home page looks "chrome://fastdial/content/fastdial.html". This addition automatically substitutes "Https://.." which makes loading the starting URL is impossible.

Diese Möglichkeit der Einstellung hat seit langem gefehlt. Es ist jetzt um ein Vielfaches besser zu händeln.

I hate about:newtab, but I love about:home, hence I love this app.
The function of this extension is simple, but it makes the UX of using Firefox for me moves from terrible to terrific!

I was hoping to use this extension to open about:newtab during "Private Browsing", but I see from older replies that not all about: pages are allowed with Web Extensions. If about:newtab is allowed, could you add it?

In order to use Superstart extension, you can go to about:config, look for extensions.superstart.enable.searchengine.select and change the valor to true. This way, you can make work your about:superstart custom url despite the http://. It works for me. I guess this applies to other extensions.

Regards.

Great addon, although setting focus / highlighting the address URL would have been ideal for my requirements. Using this plugin in conjuction with 'New Tab Homepage' seems to resolve the issue. Just remember to install or activate 'New Tab Homepage' AFTER this plugin, as the reverse won't work.

I use SpeedDial as my homepage and up to the latest revision it worked fine. Now my homepage (chrome://speeddial/content/speeddial.xul) no longer comes up in a new tab. I see from reading that this is no longer possible to make work. Hopefully there will be a work around soon. I've always used Firefox mainly due to the great add-ons available but it seems Mozilla is making it very hard on the developers. Nearly all of my add-on's show "legacy" with I suppose means they'll stop working in November.

Thanks for your work on this.

In Firefox Preferences my Home Page is set to chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksPanel.xul . This opens my Bookmarks when Firefox starts.

Before your most recent revision on August 12, I could also specify chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksPanel.xul in the Custom URL dialogue in New Tab Override. Please restore that option (assuming Mozilla enables that option in a future WebExtensions API) or alternatively enable an option to choose the Home Page specified in Firefox Preferences.

Incidentally, in about:config extensions.newtaboverride@agenedia.com.url still specifies chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksPanel.xul , it's just no longer loading when I click on the "+" to open a new tab.

I love this addon, and you will always have my support. Thank you for updating it to the new version of FF.

Addon now not supported localhost URL!
(thanks for very fast feedback, now waiting for update ;) )
