New Tab Homepage installed fine. But when open a new Tab I get a blank page instead of my home page. I've read some of your suggested fixes but they are far too involved for me. Why can't New Tab Hompage force installation of whatever home page is set in Firefox. Is there a simple fix? My HOME page is a local system file: file:///C:/!home.htm Now I find: "Didn't seem to work at first, until I found out that due to Firefox restrictions, local files cannot be handled by add-ons. My homepage was a local file..." Why in heavens name not??? I set MY home page why can't it open MY file??? I don't have a server to set a remote file, surely there is a solution for this nonsense?

    the number of permissions (and amount of private data it harvests from you in the process) is as insane as it is unnecessary for the small amount of work it needs to do under the hood. there are alternatives you can use that require no permissions beyond reading your browser settings

    pourquoi c'est si difficile de faire ouvrir une fucking page d'accueil? toujours quelque chose à intaller pas compliqué ouvrir la fucking page qu'on demande d'ouvrir!

    Been using this plugin since FF did out with the "browser.newtab.url" flag in about:config.

    I understand FF did out with that flag because it was an easy target for malware, but I'll never understand why "homepage" isn't an option for the new tab page. This plugin adds such an obvious feature.
    Thank you for developing this.

    For a long time I couldn't put up my own page, so I came across this extension. Thank you very much to the developer.

    Doesn't select URL on new tab, one too many steps. Also doesnt seem to cache the start page, it loads over net every time.
