- Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Gnou, kahdeksan vuotta sittenI hate about:newtab, but I love about:home, hence I love this app.
The function of this extension is simple, but it makes the UX of using Firefox for me moves from terrible to terrific! - Arvioitu 4/5kirjoittanut Duncan Moore, kahdeksan vuotta sittenI 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?

lähetetty kahdeksan vuotta sittenabout:newtab is not allowed, maybe it will be allowed in the future. I already asked Mozilla and there was kind of agreement that it makes sense. But I don't think it will be possible in Firefox 56 and 57. But once it will be possible I'll add about:newtab to the allowed URIs. - Arvioitu 4/5kirjoittanut Jeta, kahdeksan vuotta sittenIn order to use Superstart extension, you can go to about:config, look for extensions.superstart.enable.searchengine.select and change the valor to true. This way, you can make work your about:superstart custom url despite the http://. It works for me. I guess this applies to other extensions.

lähetetty kahdeksan vuotta sittenThank you for your positive review. What is missing for the 5. star? Of cource I want to improve the add-on… - Arvioitu 4/5kirjoittanut Adie, kahdeksan vuotta sittenGreat addon, although setting focus / highlighting the address URL would have been ideal for my requirements. Using this plugin in conjuction with 'New Tab Homepage' seems to resolve the issue. Just remember to install or activate 'New Tab Homepage' AFTER this plugin, as the reverse won't work.

"New Tab Homepage" is no WebExtension. So you could also use New Tab Override 6, it's also no WebExtension and has the mentioned feature. Then you don't need a second add-on. ;)
The WebExtension version of New Tab Override will get this feature as soon as it will be possible for WebExtensions. It will be possible in the future, probably with Firefox 57. - Arvioitu 4/5kirjoittanut batel, kahdeksan vuotta sittenI use SpeedDial as my homepage and up to the latest revision it worked fine. Now my homepage (chrome://speeddial/content/speeddial.xul) no longer comes up in a new tab. I see from reading that this is no longer possible to make work. Hopefully there will be a work around soon. I've always used Firefox mainly due to the great add-ons available but it seems Mozilla is making it very hard on the developers. Nearly all of my add-on's show "legacy" with I suppose means they'll stop working in November.

There are no chrome:// URIs for add-ons in Firefox 57 and higher. So Speed Dial has to update the add-on and should include an option to use it as new tab page since WebExtension also can't open URIs of another WebExtensions as far as I know… - Arvioitu 4/5kirjoittanut RobertVisser, kahdeksan vuotta sittenThanks for your work on this.
In Firefox Preferences my Home Page is set to chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksPanel.xul . This opens my Bookmarks when Firefox starts.
Before your most recent revision on August 12, I could also specify chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksPanel.xul in the Custom URL dialogue in New Tab Override. Please restore that option (assuming Mozilla enables that option in a future WebExtensions API) or alternatively enable an option to choose the Home Page specified in Firefox Preferences.
Incidentally, in about:config [email protected] still specifies chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/bookmarksPanel.xul , it's just no longer loading when I click on the "+" to open a new tab.Kehittäjän vastaus

New Tab Override 7.0 (and higher) is a WebExtension, the only allowed add-on architecture on Firefox 57 and higher (Firefox Nightly is already on version 57). WebExtensions are only allowed to use http://, https:// and a very small subset of about: pages to use as new tab page. So there is nothing what I can do for your use case. It's not possible to restore this feature.
It's also not possible to read the homepage at the moment. It will be possible again in the future, but it's not possible in Firefox 55 and Firefox 56, it will be possible in Firefox 57 at the earliest. - Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Firefox-käyttäjä 13067908, kahdeksan vuotta sittenI love this addon, and you will always have my support. Thank you for updating it to the new version of FF.

lähetetty kahdeksan vuotta sittenAnd where is your report on the bugtracker? It's really bad style to give one star reviews without asking the developer to check a possible bug or to implement a feature.
I'll add this feature again in the next update…
