Unfortunately, about:newtab is not supported on the Firefox Android version.
An integrated optional newtab page replacement with shortcuts support is on the roadmap.

- Rated 5 out of 5by winphreak, 4 days agoHaving a few buttons for close tab, new tab, duplicate tab, and whatever else on mobile is a godsend. I hope they get containers on mobile because a button for open / duplicate current tab in x container would be the bees knees. Great for seeing if someone blocked you on soc 😈 that's the pipe dream, but I can live without for now

posted 2 days agoHi! Thanks for your good rating! It would be great if Firefox developers added containers to the Android version. They've been making fast and good changes lately. Let's hope they continue so the browser gains more users! Have a great day! - Rated 5 out of 5by jusdfo, 2 months ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by esy, 3 months agoIt's good, but after a few days, the buttons to close all tabs and the button to close other tabs don't work properly. I wish you could display the header of Firefox tabs like desktop. Another problem is that it is not part of the UI and causes it to occupy the bottom space of websites.

posted 2 days agoHi! Thanks for your feedback, and sorry for the late reply. Here are some answers in case other users have similar questions:
The buttons to close all tabs or other tabs are limited because the Web Extensions API on Firefox Mobile doesn’t provide access to the full list of open tabs, only the loaded ones. I’d like to find a workaround for this in a future update.
About tabs header like desktop, Firefox developers are working on it! This feature is currently being tested in the Nightly version, though I’m not sure if it’s also in Beta.
About the UI, extensions cannot make changes to the browser UI, and it’s unlikely this will be allowed anytime soon. Some settings are provided to make it as unintrusive as possible, such as moving the toolbar to the top or bottom, hiding it, or adjusting its transparency to ensure users can see important content behind it.
Please feel free to share any other issues or suggestions on the GitHub repo. Have a great day! - Rated 5 out of 5by jimfbk, 3 months agoFantastic. Completely configurable and thus incredibly useful. A must-have extension for me.
- Rated 5 out of 5by sjakke, 3 months agoMakes using firefox much more enjoyable to use. The firefox team should take notes
- Rated 4 out of 5by Werni, 4 months agoWould really like to try, as it looks very fine and gives what Mozilla forgot. But it does not show anything on the screen.
edit: suddenly it work, dont know for what reason, maybe new version, new ff, or my fault...
change 2 stars to 4. Maybe, if an empty tab is active, there is no toolbar. In this case, I open a Website bookmark, and the toolbar appearsDeveloper response
posted 2 days agoHi! Thanks for your feedback. You are correct; the toolbar won’t be available on certain sites, such as about pages, the add-ons store, and other pages restricted to add-ons for security reasons. - Rated 5 out of 5by JonRok, 4 months agoEssential is right! First add on I looked for after new phone setup
- Rated 5 out of 5by Ahmedt, 4 months agoThis is must must-have extension. I would suggest it be available on the Chrome addons store

posted 4 months agoThank you for your enthusiastic feedback! I'm glad you find the extension so valuable.
Currently, I am not planning to support Google Chrome, but I appreciate your suggestion.
If you have any other feedback or suggestions, feel free to visit my GitHub repository where you can open issues or pull requests. Thank you for your support! - Rated 5 out of 5by tony.a, 4 months agoPerfect !
perhaps add a dummy button which could act as a separator or which would avoid clicking on a real button which overlaps with the web page. For example when the bar is at the bottom, the right button is superimposed with the Firefox arrow which allows you to go up the entire page. it's for nitpicking.
Parfait !
peut-être ajouter un bouton factice qui pourrait faire séparateur ou qui permettrait d’éviter de cliquer sur un vrai bouton qui se superpose avec la page web. Par exemple quand la barre est en bas, le bouton de droite se superposé avec la flèche de firefox qui permet de remonter toute la page. c'est pour chipoter.Developer response

Your suggestion for a dummy button as a separator is a great idea.

Although I haven't had much time in the last few months to work on the add-on, I'm willing to make updates when possible. Thank you for your support! - Rated 5 out of 5by caouis, 5 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by dikunav, 5 months agoIt is really cool and what I wanted! Using an actual url for home and new tabs with the only homepage site I found that properly working on android. And also fast modifiable shortcuts for Firefox actions. And persistent desktop mode.
Easy to use drag and drop interface with help tooltip buttons for every element.
But I will be glad if you add changing background and foreground colors and adding custom icons and names for buttons (duplicate button icon is very counter intuitive for me). And also optional additional lines in menu and toolbar.
P.S. Making toolbar not to be showed overlaying on page, but change page size will be cool (if it's technically possible).Developer response
posted 4 months agoThank you for your enthusiastic feedback! I'm glad the add-on is meeting your needs.
I appreciate your suggestions. I understand how the current duplicate button icon can be counterintuitive.
Currently isn't possible to change the viewport size to avoid the toolbar from covering part of the page. However, I will investigate further to see if there's a possible solution.

Thank you for your support! - Rated 4 out of 5by smackypants, 6 months agoGreat extension! Lots of potential only nitpick is that it needs better permission configuration so it will stay working on all websites instead of most of them. Other than that it's super helpful and has lots of potential for improvement. Would love to help test beta versions!
Developer response
posted 4 months agoThank you for your kind words and feedback! I'm glad you find the extension helpful.
I appreciate your point about the permission configuration and will look into improving it for better functionality across all websites.
I don't have beta versions; all changes are directly sent to the stable version.
If you have any issues, suggestions, or would like to contribute, please feel free to visit my GitHub repository. I haven't had much time in the last few months to work on the add-on, but I'm willing to make an update when possible. Thank you for your support and offer to help with testing! - Rated 5 out of 5by Miguel Garza, 6 months ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Gary_Crumm, 6 months agoSeems quite interesting, it would be nice if a button to open the menu for all of your enabled add-ons was added. Just for quicked access to all of your enabled add-ons that may just need to be activated manually.
Developer response
posted 4 months agoThank you for your feedback! I'm glad you find the tool interesting.
Your suggestion to add a button for quick access to all enabled add-ons has been echoed by other users as well. Unfortunately, I've been very busy with work and family commitments, but I do plan to make updates in the future to improve the tool and address some of these issues.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. - Rated 4 out of 5by Skyfire023, 8 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Arshia, 8 months agothe add-on works very well, and it resolves what I really missed from the samsung browser toolbar.
I suggest adding a button to change the zoom level of websites like the one samsung browser does have.
And I have a question: Is it possible to make the new tab button work like Firefox default one? I mean, the default one automatically opens the search, and the keyboard shows up, but with this addon button, you should tap on the search bar yourself and then start typing. Thank you🤩Developer response
posted 8 months agoHi! Thanks for your positive review and your suggestions.
Sadly, focusing on the search bar cannot be done by the add-on. Also, I believe changing the zoom level is not possible. I'll do some research about it.
Thanks for using the add-on. Have a nice day! - Rated 5 out of 5by Miltiades, 8 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Ilya Rysenkov, 8 months agoNot perfect, but still very useful. If possible, add "scroll to previous/next page" fuctionality, please.

posted 8 months agoHi, thank you for your positive review.
That feature has been requested in the GitHub repo. However, I don't have an estimated date for it since I have been very busy in the past few weeks. - Rated 5 out of 5by RaulMacro, 9 months ago
