Thank you!

It's technically not possible to support Firefox for Android as Firefox for Android does not have a tabs WebExtension API.

    Ich finde die Erweiterung Top, aber seit einiger Zeit fällt mir auf, dass der Fokus bei meiner Startseite startpage.com nicht mehr auf die Suchleiste gesetzt wird, obwohl die Option "Fokus auf Webseite statt in Adressleiste setzen" aktiviert ist. Geht das nur mir so, oder ist das ein Bug?

    Broken. Setting "current home page" does not work if homepage is a local file. Even though hitting the home button works for local files. So it should be possible to navigate to any homepage on the event.

    They support something they call "local file" option, but it is not a local file, instead it is a static copy of the file loaded somewhere into the extension storage. Therefore any changes to the local file are not reflected. E.g. it is not possible to sync/backup such file.

    Also URL bar of the new tab is cluttered with homepage URL, so its very cumbersome to use it.

    Perhaps it is not fault of the extension itself, and it is just result of infamous FF anti-features regarding extensions they push constantly. But anyway, it does not work as described. Uninstalling.

    No, it's not broken, that's not true. Yes, local files don't work. But that's explained in the extension and a restriction of the WebExtension framework. It's not an add-on issue at all. Just set-up a local server and you won't have any problems, it doesn't take more than five minutes.

    Please read the instructions and ask for help before giving bad reviews for no reason.

    tl;dr - A+ addon, simple, light. And I don't have to deal with friggin' Firefox Start 😆

    angry ramble - It was nice when Firefox had features and customization almost two decades ago. Now they slash features, save ALL OF THE telemetry data, then spam email/advertise to buy their VPN/Relay service. They're turning into their own enemy 🙄

    Thank you! :)

    Regaring your off-topic paragraph: Firefox allows more customization than EVERY other browser. Telemetry is good for users and everyone with an opinion about the product should keep it enabled. It's ridiculous that the people who disable telemetry are the same who are angry because Mozilla removes their favourite feature. Also, Mozilla does not spam their users. That's just not true at all.

    Makes my life easier!~ Appreciate the developer explains the reasons of giving rights to the AddOn. That increases the transparency~

    excellent should be a default thing, my dad switched to firefox just for this!

    Thank you!

    It was a default feature of Firefox some years ago. But Mozilla had to remove it because it was abused by third party software to change the new tab page to adware pages without user consent. For that reason it's only possible for add-ons now.

    thanks a lot for your firefox app & work
    Now i can openn new tab to the way that i want.

    2 issues that i would like to report:

    1) is it possible to empty the address bar field so as to not do it by ourselves ?

    2) the personal bar disappears when your app is in use. can it be possible to provide an option so that it keep stand if it has already setted in firefox?

    regards

    Thanks for the review.

    1. No, that's not possible for WebExtensions.

    2. I don't know what "personal bar" means, but New Tab Override doesn't change anything with regard to toolbars. Do you mean the bookmarks toolbar? Firefox has a setting to a) always show the toolbar b) only for new tabs (but that's only the case when you override it with this add-on!) or c) never show it. I guess, you should use a) in that case.

    This issue is not related to New Tab Override at all. It's a known Firefox bug that can happen under certain circumstances.

    Thanks for the great rating!
