od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 6696096, před 6 letyThe 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

- Hodnocení: 4 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 17940157, před 2 hodinamiAll good and functional. Only feedback I'd give is for it not to bring me to my selected page when I open a new tab with ctrl+shift+T which is when I want to bring back a previous page and not have it be overtaken by the tab homepage :)

- Hodnocení: 1 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 14005394, před 3 měsíciStopped working today. Absolutely does not set focus to the web page instead of the address bar. The cursor jumps to the address bar every time I try to type in the Google search field. Also will not open new tabs to my home page. Instead it opens to Firefox home page.

zveřejněno před 2 měsíciPlease do not abuse the review system for support requests. If it suddenly stopped it's clear that it can't be the fault of New Tab Override as there was no update at the time of your review. Also there was no other similar report. - Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 15009184, před 3 měsíci

- Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 17862970, před 4 měsíciRE: Thank you for addressing the issue. Before rating the extension, I unpacked it and looked at the code. It didn't make any sense to me why it had that as part of validation.
Thanks a lot, Sören.
Can't set custom homepage with custom protocol e.g. moz-extension://Odpověď vývojáře
zveřejněno před 2 měsíciYou can use moz-extension:// URIs now. In the future, please request features via appropriate channels instead of abusing the review system. Maybe you want to consider a better review now as your only point of criticism was addressed. - Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Device Problem, před 4 měsíci
- Hodnocení: 4 z 5od uživatele Speede-du-potar, před 4 měsíciThis Add-on can't decipher characters with French accents. Too bad.
And when he opens my page, there's a big frame all around it, which takes up too much space on a small screen! - Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 18203154, před 4 měsíciWorks just as described. In the options I pasted in the page I wanted to load on each new tab, and now it's just click and there it is. Thanks!
- Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Kevin, před 4 měsíciWorks great on desktop. Can we get compatability for Firefox mobile please?

It's technically not possible to support Firefox for Android as Firefox for Android does not have a tabs WebExtension API. - Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Thomas Sears, před 4 měsíci
- Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele KC, před 4 měsíciSimple, the extension does exactly what it is suppose to. 100 Percent!

- Hodnocení: 3 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 18174079, před 5 měsíciKind of useless if the URL isn't automatically selected in a new tab. Having to ctlr+a and delete the url in each new tab before being able to type is not very helpful.

zveřejněno před 5 měsíciIt would be nice if you would ask before giving bad reviews for add-ons since what you want is not possible at all for WebExtensions. As there is no way to this, it's not fair to get a bad review for that reason. And by the way, 70,000 other users don't think that the add-on is "useless". - Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele naught-y, před 5 měsíci
- Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele algi, před 5 měsíciIt's longtime since I added it and I'd like to say Thank You again because it's nice and useful. 👌
- Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Torchy, před 5 měsíciIt works and makes my annoyances with firefox homepage go away! The loading times are slower however, but I know that that is probably out of your control.
