About this extension

This add-on shows your homepage on new tabs, instead of the default Firefox start page, without stealing keyboard focus from the address bar.

Features

The address bar is immediately focused and ready for input, just like on the default new tab page. No extra clicks needed—just open a tab and start typing.
Built for keyboard-heavy workflows. Press Esc in the address bar to instantly shift focus to the page, enabling immediate use of extensions like Vimium-C. No extra clicks needed.
Avoids the blinding "flash of white" when opening a new tab in a dark environment by respecting your browser's theme.
This add-on is open source (MPL) and consists of only about 20 lines of JS. You can read the full source on GitHub, and if something doesn't quite work, make a PR or file an issue.
