Review by Ensign Epic
Rated 3 out of 5
by Ensign Epic, 3 years agoGotta say, it is really nice to open a new tab and see a random landscape, and the different widgets all have a ton of utility. The app has such amazing potential but it's held back by a ton of little bugs & its lack of some features.
To start with, the widgets are not drag and drop while editing; you click a button and it gets sent to that part of the screen. This would not be an issue if the text of certain widgets did not overlap due to apparent bounding issues. Instead of using the open space below it, text blocks lines will run an indeterminate amount before a line break. Another issue is that certain widgets are lacking features one would consider rather important. As a quick example, the Quotes widget doesn't let you choose how often they update, just the types of quotes. Another is the inability to choose which provider is used in the search bar. The final issue is that this lacks an "article" widget, for example, like the default home page's Pocket, which sorta stinks because it was always cool seeing what random articles they had to read.
I want this to be a 5 star app, it can EASILY get there as the state of the app suggests many of these are readily implemented. But there's so much suck left in this extension before it gets there, I gotta go with the 3 star for now. Looking forward to the day I can fully retire the default Firefox home screen for this.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Barmanji Jr., 9 hours agoWould love to see if i can stop or set time intervals on the uploaded image by user. Also for some reason anything when giving orientation to left/right/up it works good but on down (down-Rright/left/middle) it seems there's a pseudo margin there so it doesnt go full down and that's kinda annoying

- Rated 5 out of 5by woden, 7 days agoThis is the most stable extension in my collection. It's consistently updated with an eye to pleasing its users, easy to back up, and it is pleasant. It has also saved me a lot of time and energy when other things go wrong with unruly alternative versions of Firefox. It saved me today. Thank you devs of Tabliss. You are awesome.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15039956, 2 months agoQuotes stopped working many months ago with fixes proposed on Github but not implemented. The weather information for my area is inaccurate. That means this extension functionally only serves as a wallpaper splash screen, which is kind of pointless.
