- Rated 1 out of 5by lnstar, 7 years agoDoes nothing. A blank page appears, which can also be selected in the Quantum "options".
- Rated 1 out of 5by Jgreg7, 7 years agoI recently returned to Firefox after a several year break, due to problems with other browsers.
This add-on is a nice idea, however it does not seem work on Firefox 60.0.2 using my home page. I might try it again in the future if it is fixed. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12288856, 7 years agoDoes not work with 59.0.3 -- my homepage is a local HTM file (with all my useful links), and when I add a new tab this add-on simply creates a blank page.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14052263, 7 years agoUnfortunately, it doesn't work. I have a local page as my home page and I'm guessing that it simply doesn't work with local pages. It would be great if the "developer" had included that information in his description. But in this day and age, that type of consideration and attention to detail is just too much to ask.
- Rated 1 out of 5by ashleedawg, 7 years agoIndeed it loads my home page when I create a new tab, but it also place the cursor at the beginning of the address bar URL making is awkward to open a new tab and paste a URL, which is my reasons for needing a new tab 50% of the time. Yes, the developer is AWARE of this issue but there are various solutions (like this https://github.com/cadeyrn/newtaboverride/blob/master/src/js/core/newtab.js#L81 ) that would solve the issue (not to mention, no other "new tab" add-ins have this issue.)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13910396, 7 years agoThis does not work for me at all. If there is some reason why, I would love to know what it is. This problem drives me nuts.
- Rated 1 out of 5by majoraswrath, 7 years agoSeems to be suddenly broken. I got a custom local homepage that it could open without problems before. but now it's suddenly broken :/
- Rated 1 out of 5by liz, 7 years agoI do not understand how it works
the instructions flashed by so fast...
I see no settings anywhere
this is a NEW Firefox update - CRAP! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13504733, 7 years agoMy homepage is also an HTML file on my computer (file:///C:/Users/_) This extension doesn't load it, same as the other reviews below. If I click the home icon it loads my homepage.
- Rated 1 out of 5by omnescient, 7 years agoFails to open my homepage, which is prefixed by the file:/// protocol [Windows 10 Pro]
As above, homepage loads via toobar icon.
Domain information in the address bar displays: Extension (New Tab Homepage)
'Control Center' displays: New Tab Homepage/This page is loaded from an extension. - Rated 1 out of 5by basa, 7 years agoVersion 0.6.2 doesn't show my local homepage when I open a new tab.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13457851, 7 years agoSame thing as others have said: it opens to a blank page (which is a _slight_ improvement over the default Firefox Quantum behavior), but it does not bring up my home page which is on a file (Windows 7 Ultimate, Firefox Qantum 57.0 32-bit).
- Rated 1 out of 5by NashvilleKit, 7 years agoIt simply does not work. I click on New Tab and I get a blank page. I have just upgraded to 57.0. I'm very frustratewd witrh it so far and your extension is but one of my frustrations
- Rated 1 out of 5by bhmurphy55, 7 years agoMy home page is a file on my computer that is file:///C:/root/index.html
This no longer works.
Anything you can do about this?
Using Firefox Quantum 57.0 64 bit on Windows 10
