New Tab Override by Sören Hentzschel
Review by Woodsy
Rated 3 out of 5
by Woodsy, aasta tagasiGood concept, have used in the past but removed for now. As others have noted, it opens the New Tab settings page rather than the selected New Tab. Also, removing the add-on didn't work.
Update to reply to developer response: "New Tabe Override still works." I'm giving you feedback that it doesn't, I could give you more information (Firefox on Dell laptop running Win 10 etc.) but a blanket response like that is odd. Why would I bother leaving this comment if I'd not had an issue?
To clarify "removing the add-on didn't work" in response to your answer - I just clicked on the remove button and the removal path (menus etc.) appeared but the add on was still present on Firefox. I did this a couple of times before it eventually went. Other add-ons have been successfully removed first time. I mentioned this because it seemed like useful feedback, I'm not smart enough to either develop apps or know whether it's possible for them to have an issue that can interfere with the removal process, although I have worked alongside software testers for enough years to believe that all kinds of unexpected behaviours can sometimes occur with software, so any feedback is usually useful in case the issue is a defect that impacts others, rather than just a temporary glitch or problem with the machine or browser.
It certainly could be something broken on my system, I'll be on the look out for any other apps not removing properly, thanks for the tip.

posted aasta tagasiNew Tab Override still works. If it's not even possible for you to remove the add-on then it's clear that something is really broken on your system. And something like that can't be caused by New Tab Override. That's not possible at all.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17940157, kuu aega tagasiAll 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 :)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14005394, 5 kuud tagasiStopped 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.

posted 3 kuud tagasiPlease 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15009184, 5 kuud tagasi

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17862970, 5 kuud tagasiRE: 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://Developer response
posted 3 kuud tagasiYou 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Device Problem, 5 kuud tagasi
- Rated 4 out of 5by Speede-du-potar, 5 kuud tagasiThis 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! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18203154, 5 kuud tagasiWorks 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!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Kevin, 5 kuud tagasiWorks 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Thomas Sears, 5 kuud tagasi
- Rated 5 out of 5by KC, 6 kuud tagasiSimple, the extension does exactly what it is suppose to. 100 Percent!
