Does as described. Wish it was a bit more instantaneous, it seems to go through some short redirect process that is about a second long.

A bit too shaky forme

Exactly what i was looking for,

Hi, Really happy with the add-on. But it does not work on a 32bits system doesn't it? Not my computer but someone else I recommended it to have a 32bits laptop, windows 8.1 and they cannot install the add-on.

Very good! Only REALLY wish that firefox would let the could clear URL bar and then focus, so I could search right away.

Under the "preferences" of this add-on it states that this is waiting on a change from Mozilla... when can we do this Mozilla? I can do this in Chrome perfectly fine...

Bug: No longer focuses search field when "about:home" is set as a start page.

Please fix.

New version. Focus on site doesn't work.

I use FF 59 64-bit, switch off all adds, and still focus not working. When I use new tab (about:home), and check box focus on site, there is no focus. There is no focus on address bar, and there is no focus on new tab (about:home).
The previous New Tab Override version worked fine.

Hey guys, how do i put an HTML file fo' the new tab without extensions? Is there a way? I put 4 starts becouse it opens the "local file" without images.

The new tab extension works exactly how I like. Except I would love it if there was an option that stops the last tab from closing unless you click the close button.

* Edit
Right now ctrl W will close the current tab, if you have lots of tabs open and you hit ctrl w several times it will close them all and eventually close the browser window. It would be nice to check a box to turn this option on or off.

To prevent this from happening right now you have to go into the Firefox preferences: about:config and set the browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab pref to false.

BTW, being able to focus on window and usability are the main reasons this add-on is superior to all the other "new tab" type add-ons out there right now. Great Job!

I have my own page with links to all of the services I use regularly. This extension gives me the ability to instantly open a new tab that contains all of those links that I use most often.

its the one and only proper tab replacement for this f*cking WebExtension sh*t. thanks for this, i'm probably donate you some $. BTW can you enable the Javascript on local file? and external CSS loading?

It's nice and best of all: IT WORKS!

Ich hatte vorher TabMixPlus und war sehr zufrieden damit. New Tab ist für meine Bedürfnisse gleichwertig, da TabMixPlus nach dem neuen Update von Firefox nicht mehr funktioniert. Genau da liegt auch das Problem: Ich hatte mir eine eigene Startseite gebastelt die dann bei einem neuen Tab angezeigt wird. Das lässt der neue Firefox aber nicht mehr zu. Ich kann im Add-on zwar eine lokale Seite wählen, diese wird aber nicht richtig angezeigt, da Bilder und co. von lokalen Quellen grundsätzlich geblockt werden. Sicherheit hin oder her, es sollte zumindest dem Nutzer selbst überlassen werden, ob er das will oder nicht. Mein Fazit zum "Größten Update aller Zeiten": performe Verbesserung, optische Verschlechterung, eingeschränkte Benutzerfreiheit

It just works. The one little thing I'd like to see is the tab title being the actual page title (as in its HTML), rather than just "New Tab". Give me that and I'll give it the 5th star!

Thanks I am now able to show my bookmarks file when a new tab opens. Only problem is that the field is filled with "moz-extension....." Any way to clear this field after a new tab is created?

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.

Now my retina doesn't burn when I click on new tab. I wish it was more responsive though.

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?
