I've been frustrated with the new tab setting in Firefox for a long time. I just stumbled on this add-on and it is exactly what I wanted. Click the + to open a new tab and I get my home page. Just as it should be!

I am using ubuntu mate and I really wanted to use it and now I can with this

I have been using it for years, it does exactly what is asked of it.
You can't ask for more perfection.
Thanks Ben

I used to use the New Tab Override (by Sören Hentzschel). But, Firefox added Security measures which made this Extension obsolete... :(

I was SO HAPPY When I tried this: New Tab Homepage -by Ben Basson !!!

Note: Unfortunately, As far as I know - It can't load or use a local file/custom HTML. (Sorry, people...) It also hasn't been "Recommended" by firefox - Yet... But hopefully it will be, in the near future.

I Use Google as My Homepage, & this extension works perfectly for that...
I simply click on the [+] for a New Tab, & my cursor is already in the Google Search bar! YAY !!!

I Hope This review Helps others in their search for a simple "New Tab Extention"! :)

Does not work with local home pages (file://).

Tried to use with the Simple Tab Groups add-on (with additional STG plugins such as 'Create New Tab'). However, after opening a STG group into the sidebar and then clicking on the 'Open new tab' button, whatever happens to be the current highlighted tab, is *overwritten* with the defined homepage URL - and a real new tab (blank!) appears below. I have tried a different new tab homepage add-on [New Tab Override (WebExtension), by Soren] which does work as you would expect. Using latest Firefox (v70.0.1) as of this date [2019-11-15].

Works perfectly. Why the hell is this not available by default?

perfect

I created my own HTML file that I wanted to be loaded when I open new tabs, and set it as my home page. Unfortunately, this extension doesn't seem to work with local files for some odd reason.

Does its job. I like that.

I love this extension, good work and thx

i lke that i can open new tabs to my homepage
(google) however i really dislike that when firefox updates i have to re add this add on. there should be a way to make it permanent or until i turn it off

impecable pour avoir google en nouvel onglet
