- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13657995, 8 years agoBefore installing this add-on I was a bit concerned by quite a few of the reviews saying it didn't work or was complicated to use.
Well, it worked perfectly for me, and was not in any way complicated. If you simply wish to set your newtab to open on a fixed webpage, go to the add-on options and type the desired URL into the text box. Done. It's that simple.
It's a bad reflection on Mozilla that this add-on is needed, but a huge thanks must go to the developer for creating it.
Mozilla really should have known better than to force a change so radical upon their userbase that it requires an add-on to return things to normality. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13655381, 8 years agosetzt dem Entwickler Wahnsinn der Firefox Guys -Giott sei Dank- den Riegel vor!!!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13647233, 8 years agoHabe mich sehr geärgert, dass Mozilla mich da so bevormundet. Dieses kleine Addon vertsöhnt mich wieder. Es bügelt aus, was Mozilla verbockt hat. Danke dafür.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Ritornell, 8 years ago57.0.2 on Windows, first install: None of the settings has any effect, after restart, in safe-mode, you name it; I've spent almost half an hour of my life messing around on about:config, trying out the combinations, just hoping to get this add-on making *any* difference at all. Result, flat zero. I wouldn't even know it's properly installed were it not for its entry in the Options menu, apparently the only thing it managed to do on my setup. No idea why this is featured, sorry. Less so since there was an update, as it seems, only a month ago. Did FF even change in a relative way, as recent as that? And then no note about possible problems, a month later? I'm removing.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13618942, 8 years agoDa Firefox bei mir in "about:config" unter der Einstellung "browser.newtab.url" kein Wert meiner Personalisierten Website angezeigt wurde, Habe ich mich für diese AddOn entschieden. Ich bereue nichts und kann diese voll und ganz mit 5/5 Sternen bewerten. Mann Hat zudem auch noch ein paar andere Einstellungsmöglichkeiten.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13443510, 8 years agoI've used the extensions Open Tab Next to Current and Always Right to open new tabs next the currently active tab. They work fine until New Tab Override is installed. After that, new tabs are opened 2 steps from the current active tab instead of right after. Hope this problem/conflict gets fixed.

Also wish there was a place to report bugs for New Tab Override instead of using ratings. - Rated 3 out of 5by Carsti29, 8 years agoLooks okayish, except for local files. You can set locals files, but for whatever reasons they don't respect their CSS. Works on the first tab, not on any other. Might work if the CSS would be inline, but who would want that? Guess it has something to do with local vs. addon-startup path or whatever...

I don't see a reason why it should work on the first tab and not in others. Please test with a fresh Firefox profile and report an issue on GitHub if the problem still exists. - Rated 5 out of 5by Felipe, 8 years agoDoes exactly what is expected of him.
I set each new tab to open DuckDuckGo, which is wonderful, I do not like the clutter of an empty tab as a default alliance. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13592120, 8 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Informatica, 8 years agoPerfecta para configurar la apertura de una nueva pestaña con la web que prefieras, y te permite mover el foco a la web.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Yin Cognito, 8 years agoJust like matif525 said below, this addon is almost perfect ... except for the cases when users try the 'Undo close tab' command after opening a new tab. Great work, developer, but you should take a peek at New Tab Page by Openview-Design, cause that addon manages to 'Undo close tab' AND focus the web page instead of the address bar correctly. Too bad I had to check about a half a dozen addons for such a simple functionality that should be provided right out of the box by every browser...
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13588484, 8 years agoDer aktuelle web.de-MailCheck hat leider etwas dagegen, wenn man einfach nur eine leere Seite beim Öffnen eines neues Tabs haben möchte. Hiermit ist das zum Glück wieder möglich. Danke dafür.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13585567, 8 years agoThanks Firefox 57 has the annoying history displayed in the black tab, and you can't change it. This addon changed it back to a white black page
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13581683, 8 years agoI have my own page with links to all of the services I use regularly. This extension gives me the ability to instantly open a new tab that contains all of those links that I use most often.

You gave only four stars but you didn't say what is missing. Please tell me what is missing, otherwise I don't know what I have to improve. - Rated 5 out of 5by GeertVc, 8 years agoGreate little extension. Not a lot of options, but to the point. Especially the "Focus" option is a nifty little goodie!
