    RE: Thank you for addressing the issue. Before rating the extension, I unpacked it and looked at the code. It didn't make any sense to me why it had that as part of validation.

    Thanks a lot, Sören.

    Can't set custom homepage with custom protocol e.g. moz-extension://

    You can use moz-extension:// URIs now. In the future, please request features via appropriate channels instead of abusing the review system. Maybe you want to consider a better review now as your only point of criticism was addressed.

    Does exactly what it says it does, 10/10

    This Add-on can't decipher characters with French accents. Too bad.

    And when he opens my page, there's a big frame all around it, which takes up too much space on a small screen!

    Works just as described. In the options I pasted in the page I wanted to load on each new tab, and now it's just click and there it is. Thanks!

    Works great on desktop. Can we get compatability for Firefox mobile please?

    Thank you!

    It's technically not possible to support Firefox for Android as Firefox for Android does not have a tabs WebExtension API.

    Simple, the extension does exactly what it is suppose to. 100 Percent!

    Kind of useless if the URL isn't automatically selected in a new tab. Having to ctlr+a and delete the url in each new tab before being able to type is not very helpful.

    It would be nice if you would ask before giving bad reviews for add-ons since what you want is not possible at all for WebExtensions. As there is no way to this, it's not fair to get a bad review for that reason. And by the way, 70,000 other users don't think that the add-on is "useless".

    It works and makes my annoyances with firefox homepage go away! The loading times are slower however, but I know that that is probably out of your control.

    This app does just what I needed. However, it was too hard to find out how to change the URL for new tabs. I've spent perhaps 15-20 minutes clicking and, frankly, don't know how I finally got to the page that enabled changing the URL. (This may pertain to other Firefox add-ins, too.)

    Would like to donate, but had bad experiences with PayPal and closed my PayPal account. Wish there was another way to donate.

    It works. Of course you have to configure the extension once. If you have problems or questions, feel free to open an issue on GitHub.

    Adds automatically "http://" to the URL which prevent from using values like "about:home".

    Developer response

    This doesn't make sense since "about:home" is the default new tab page and you woulnd't use this add-on at all to use it as new tab page.

    Also it's not possible at all for WebExtensions to open about:home via the tabs API.

    Very good, does exactly what it promised. Unfortunately you can't disable the behavior, if you changed the new tab to another extension, this extension will take over. It's extremely annoying if you use firefox sync and wanted to have different new tab behavior in each devices.
