New Tab Override av Sören Hentzschel

av Firefox-användare 6696096, för 8 år sedanThe 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

- Betygsatt 1 av 5av Max, för 2 dagar sedanAt first it was a really good add-on for firefox based browsers. If you watch youtube regularly while this extension is enabled, I found that youtube takes for ever to load or not load at all. Once disabled I was able to load and watch youtube much smoother like normal. I have also noticed some other glitches on other sites with it enabled. I've had tabs crashing at times when I richt-click the mouse then tab crash or just gone leaving one open for me.
New Update after response from developer: Everthing I have said makes perfect sense. I have removed your extension and now magically Youtube is working perfectly fine. Some of the other glitches that I have had is also gone. YouTube was the big one for me.Utvecklarens svar
postad för 2 dagar sedanThis makes neither sense nor can I confirm the YouTube issue. There is no relation at all between having this extension enabled and using YouTube. Also „some other glitches on other sites" makes no sense at all because this extension doesn't execute any code on websites. So it's just not possible. I also don't believe you the "crashing" part as the extension just uses WebExtension APIs and if it were true, a lot of extension would cause crashes. Another fact: There are more than 60,000 active users of the extension and there is not a single report for any of these issues. - Betygsatt 5 av 5av botti56, för 16 dagar sedanTop Add-on.
Alas it doesn't work with Beta 153.0.b13 anymore. No matter what is selected in 'Option' or URL it only displays a blank page when I open a new tab. - Betygsatt 5 av 5av Firefox-användare 13667925, för en månad sedan

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." - Betygsatt 5 av 5av mozjurmo, för 2 månader sedan

- Betygsatt 4 av 5av tippex.95, för 3 månader sedanVery 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.Utvecklarens svar

For obvious security reasons, this is not possible for Firefox extensions. - Betygsatt 5 av 5av jc00qe, för 4 månader sedan
- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Virtual Valtyr, för 4 månader sedanFor 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!

postad för 5 månader sedanThe 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 …- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Micka149, för 6 månader sedan

- Betygsatt 5 av 5av Ruan Almeida Rocha, för 8 månader sedanGood 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. - Betygsatt 5 av 5av Jonas, för 9 månader sedanGreat extension. Does exactly what it is supposed to do without loads of unnecessary settings. I hope mozilla fixes the "select url"-issue.
