yazan: scsc, 8 yıl önceDeactivating the extension replaces the current tab content by a default new tab, destroying all data one is working on and even literally erasing the tab from tab history (no way to use Back). Activating the extension instead closes the current tab. Even now, the tab is completely lost in the void, because ctrl+shift+t causes a "new tab" be opened INSTEAD of the previously closed tab. (EDIT: The previously closed tab is only lost due to a hazard when I press ctrl+shift+t twice very fast.)
Other than that, the addon does what it has to do, and I appreciate the option to gain tab focus instead of the navigation bar. One last thing i'd find very useful is if typing into the address bar before anything gets loaded postponed the process of replacing address bar (deleting anything I've typed) and taking the focus away. Not sure if firefox even provides so much API to achieve this.
// Reply: Well the issue is critical and deserves at least an acknowledgement in the description, as it's an anti-feature. Honestly though, I haven't seen WebExtensions implementation, but I don't believe you at all. I can imagine several workarounds, neither of them were even considered. Is there no API whatsoever to access the last closed tab history, so that you can offer a way to manually re-open the lost tab? Is there absolutely no way not to process your addon when the user presses Ctrl+Shift+T? Is that specific event impossible be detected? Can you not let the default implementation (optionally) load first before redirecting to the user specified site? Also the issue could be reported to WebExtensions devs... Completely blocking the "re-open last tab" support is definitely not acceptable as a final decision. (But I know the WebExtensions suck, there are so many other addons that no longer work even in theory in the new Firefox.)
-> Okay so I decided to try to fix my issue myself and even though I found a WebExtensions solution, there was a bug that I couldn't fix. Still, some safety workarounds could be made. Luckily, I found a workaround instead: disabling the focus setting solved the issue, because it still focuses the new page anyway (the setting is broken), thus it works exactly as I wanted.

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. - 5 üzerinden 5 puanyazan: Firefox kullanıcısı 13667925, 16 gün önce

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." - 5 üzerinden 5 puanyazan: mozjurmo, bir ay önce
- Very 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.Geliştiricinin yanıtı

For obvious security reasons, this is not possible for Firefox extensions. - 5 üzerinden 5 puanyazan: Virtual Valtyr, 3 ay önceFor 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!

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.

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.Geliştiricinin yanıtı
gönderilme: 10 ay önceI 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.
