Great little plugin to replace the background colour with something dark (I prefer my new tabs blank). I note the urlbar having stuff in it when opening a new tab is something out of the hands of the dev, however - and honestly, this is my only gripe - it will still be causing me to disable the plugin until it is resolved because of the impact it has on my experience of browsing (this is adding an extra to every that I make).

Thank you for changing Speed Dial. Now I will wait for new features and capabilities. Good for you !

Thanks for this very welcome add-on! :-))

I almost gave up finding a solution to this until I found this add-on and was saved by Søren Hentzschel's brilliant software Yes!

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.
