- Rated 5 out of 5by INIROBO, 5 years agoThis is the home page I have been looking for a year and it's better than anything I would have expected from a simple homepage. Thank you.
Edit: Do you have to put images to each of the icons using right click -> Edit, or do they appear automatically?Developer response
posted 5 years agoThank you for a nice review!
You can drag an image from e.g. desktop onto a bookmark.
There is no fancy auto-generation of thumbnails or screenshotting or similar (only opera-like text based thumbnails) as there is no easy, independant of 3rd party services and secure way to achieve that in a firefox extension. - Rated 4 out of 5by KingKozaK, 5 years agoReally great, the one I had on chrome was a little better because it would cycle through scenic photographs instead of a plain color, but all the functionality is here!

posted 5 years ago1. This is not a feature-request forum. There's a dedicated support page for things like that.
That said, you can easily do what you want in Settings/Custom CSS, enter this line:
body {background: #222 url("https://picsum.photos/1800/1200/?random") 0 0/cover no-repeat;}
2. Please understand, that I'm doing that for free, in my spare time, and you're not paying a cent for it. So I'd appreciate if you didn't put me down because in the free software that I gave you for free, I didn't include all the functionality that, I didn't know, that you wanted.
If you're looking for a feature that is not there, please add a feature request in project's github and I'll do my best to add it for you. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14643647, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by sboltzmann99, 5 years agoBeautiful and elegant. This should be the default behavior of Firefox if they really want to create a good user experience.
- Rated 5 out of 5by VM, 5 years agoIt is almost perfect!
I wish there was a shortcut grid as on the Windows desktop for shortcuts. everything else is just perfect!
P / s I saw some kind of CSS editor. I don’t quite understand how I can use it, how to change the shadow of the text, can someone tell me?Developer response

Styling tutorial is here: https://github.com/tborychowski/perfect-home/blob/master/customization-tutorial.md
If you have feature requests please create an issue in this repo. - Rated 5 out of 5by bubble, 5 years agoSimple and functional Speed Dial with good customization. Looking for simplicity in design and ease of use? This is it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by ArneWeise, 5 years agoWhat would I do without all these nifty addons people create. Thank you very much for your time and effort :)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Rui, 5 years agoI've recently migrated from Safari to Firefox and was almost giving up because I couldn't see all my bookmarks on a new tab - which sounds silly but it's very, very convenient and once you are accustomed to it, it's hard to give it up. I've been searching for an add-on for a while now. Finally, found it! Not only it was what I was looking for, but the permissions only asks to read and modify bookmarks and not read everything we type in a page or unnecessary things. Thank you very much!
p.s Is it possible to see the favicons of each website instead of the first letter?Developer response
posted 5 years agoThanks for a great review!
Re favicons: no, not easily (https://github.com/tborychowski/perfect-home/issues/37#issuecomment-546635708).
I could only show 16x16px favicons, which would look ugly when resized to e.g. 128px.
I'm planning to show more than 1 letter though. Probably something like opera does in their speeddial. Stay tuned! - Rated 5 out of 5by Finz, 5 years agoAmazing addon, almost exactly what I was looking for. One more functionality I wish it has was displaying domain intead of first letter. For example for twitter bookmark, would be nice if by default it was showing as twitter.com instead of 'T' alone.
Great work, keep it up!Developer response
posted 5 years agoThe problem with this is that there is no CSS solution to achieve this, so that it would nicely fit "a.com" and "abcdefghijklmnop-qrstuwxyz.com". But please add an ticket and I will think of something :-) - Rated 5 out of 5by IvanHoe, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Vincent, 5 years agoExactly what I was looking for! Amazing customizability!
Small feature request, if possible: allow users to also customize the new tab title + icon to be something else besides "PerfectHome" and its icon.Developer response
posted 5 years agoThanks for the review! Do you have github account? If so, could you create an issue in PerfectHome repo? I'd like to discuss your ideas with you. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15470154, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Ronald, 5 years agoI hated it as soon as I installed it. But then I noticed the option to customize it, and changed the background color. Not only that, there was an option to customize the css, and I removed the shadows. And now it's perfect. OMG... It's "perfect" home. I get it now. Great add-on!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15302884, 5 years agoAs a refugee from Safari (where version 13 deprecated all my extensions and yet somehow still became very slow and buggy), its built-in speed-dial was what I missed the most. It was such a simple idea, yet until this extension there quite simply wasn't any equivalent available. Thank you so much!
I like how you can customise thumbnails, however many of these websites produce their own thumbnails or webpage icons that the extension could draw on, such as the "mask-icon", "apple-touch-icon" or "icon" that Safari uses for its speed dial and touch bar links. I'd love to see an option for that, since the first are vector-based it would look wonderful on a Retina display. Then if a website changes its icon, it would update in my tab page. ^^
Still very happy with it, looking forward to more!Developer response
posted 5 years agoHi,
Thanks for the great review.
As for your request - I tried that before with another extension (newtab-bookmarks) and it's not as easy as it sounds. The number of possibilities to screw up the favicons are endless and on top of that - the extension would need to rely on a 3rd party service to get them, as the extension itself cannot make http requests if the target server does not allow CORS (and most don't allow). So this is why I gave up on the other one, and came up with this.
