- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13119159, 6 years agoIt's okay if you want to spend time setting it all up your own way. I don't. I want something useful out of the box. This isn't.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Seven, 7 years agoSince the recent FF update, the one addon I had for randomly-loading up a gif for every new tab got deprecated.
Sad stuff, but this addon does the job perfectly fine as well.
I didn't need links or URLs for my new tabs anyway so I just turned the shortcuts off. What I needed was something random every time I opened a new tab, and this addon fills in that niche gap for me perfectly well. Now I can have nice random gifs of animu grils and the occasional rekt and cute puppies.
Unfortunately, local file support doesn't work for your image choices. The HFS solution provided by the dev seems like a great idea, but I found that making an imgur album and dumping all your stills and gifs in it seemed to be a better choice. Sad that the images only work if you're online (no proper way of making local images work besides mentioned HFS workaround), but considering I'm almost-always in a place with a decent-enough connection, it's not so bad!
To dev: I wouldn't mind dropping a dollar if you got local file support for images! :DDeveloper response
posted 7 years agoThanks I appreciate it, but am not looking for donations. Unfortunately the Firefox devs don't seem very eager to allow extensions (or anything really) access local files, and it looks like it will remain this way for quite some time. - Rated 5 out of 5by ze.thriller, 7 years agoStill work on FF 55 (might need to restart FF to activate the settings, but no big deal here).
PS: you were looking for a way to use local files... the latest version accepts (very) long data:image URIs (i'm using a ~ 1M long URI string)... maybe that's a lead ?
(sorry, i didn't find a way to answer your previous message) - Rated 5 out of 5by Flash_Mob_In_This_Bus_65, 7 years agoThis does the job it's supposed to perfectly. I hate the white about: and home pages that firefox provides as default, they're incredibly blinding when you have all your websites dark themed.
This themes the new tab page the color you want and has a couple extra options as well.
