- Rated 5 out of 5by ActionScripted, 6 years agoWorks perfectly; dead simple!
Doesn't show anything weird in the address bar or in the auth/security area and doesn't cause problems with links.
Thanks so much for this plugin, great work. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14154519, 6 years agoA very helpful extension. Unfortunately, takes noticeable time to actually open the custom new tab page, so when I open a new tab to go to another website, the following happens:
- I copy the url I want to go to
- the extension kicks in and overrides my url with the custom page I set for new tab.
So the extension does wonders when I open the new tab for the custom page I set for it, but destroys my workflow otherwise. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14322475, 6 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14320088, 6 years agoWill not allow loading local files on Ubuntu / Linux.
No, "Mozilla doesn't allow this functionality" is not an answer. I have a different extension, with the same local file, working perfectly fine on Windows 8.1 but it refuses to load on Ubuntu. This extension doesn't even make an attempt to load the file. It's HTML, CSS, JS so the semi support doesn't work (and isn't a real fix because I want changes to be made immediate which is why it's a local file in the first place). The only use I have for this extension does not work so it is immediately uninstalled.

Edit: I don't think I can reply to developer comments so I will here instead.
Firstly, I don't need to make a GitHub issue because this isn't GitHub. This is the review section of mozilla.org where I review the extension I downloaded that doesn't do what I wanted it to. Secondly, I did say exactly what is wrong. If the path does not start with http:// or https:// the extension refuses to load without even trying. This is not a technical reason, this is a developmental choice and why the other extension loads on Windows (because it doesn't give up the moment I input my file path). Lastly, the other extension works on Windows 8.1 and 10 merely by inputting file:// (path to file) despite it too saying it's not supported. The steps to reproduce the two star review are: 1) choose new URL 2) input anything that's not http:// or https:// 3) immediately uninstall and leave a poor review reflecting this design choice.
Thank you for making the extension (I didn't rate it one star) but the extensions design choice makes it unusable for local file hosting which works despite it not being officially supported. All I need(ed) it to do was auto open an HTML file from my machine (not cache but actually open to access ./css, ./js, etc) but I have since worked around this issue.Developer response
posted 6 years agoAnd where is your GitHub issue where you are showing the other add-on and you local file? Sorry, it's not okay to give such reviews and telling the add-on does something wrong and not to say what exactly is wrong. And honestly, I can't believe that it works on Windows and not on Linux. So please provide the test case and steps to reproduce before giving bad reviews… - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14305036, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Lain, 6 years agoMuito boa, ajudou e muito com o fato de uma extensão não ter passado para WebExtension.
O único problema é que necessitei criar aquele servidor web local, poderia aceitar arquivo local HTML.
Mas isso é problema do Firefox, devemos pedir para eles desenvolverem melhor essa webextension.
Deveria não bloquear o usuário de ter, mas avisar dos riscos e permitir o usuário escolher
Ao menos quando as WebExtension são limitadas ainda. - Rated 5 out of 5by mariz, 6 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14161352, 6 years agoCumple con su función, aunque una de las opciones, la de no fijar el foco en la página, sino en la barra de direcciones, actualmente no funciona.

- Rated 5 out of 5by infonutt, 7 years agoThank you Soren for updating your much-beloved extension to the new FF - I still hate FF for all the many extensions that I lost and that have never come back. Damn you Mozilla.
You are appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to update all the code and still be here. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14237673, 7 years ago
