pubblicato il 7 anni faThanks for your review.
Unfortunately this is not something that can be fixed.
The way this addon avoids changing the address bar content is by creating an iframe and displaying your chosen site in that iframe. The problem is that sites (like Google) can set an HTTP header that blocks other sites (like this addon) from displaying their pages inside an iframe.
If you look in the addon options page, next to where you choose the URL, it does warn you about this by saying "The site must allow iframe embedding or it won't work".
However, in your case, I don't really understand the use case for having google.com as your new tab page if you can just search straight from the address bar? Maybe Firefox address bar "smart keywords" would work better so you could just type something like "img my icon" in the address bar and be taken straight to the Google image search results for "my icon". Here's a Firefox post about using "smart keywords" if you're interested https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-search-from-address-bar.

- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 18097713, 3 mesi faBest option to have a custom url and not change the address bar, perfect
- Valutata 5 su 5di dirkules, 3 mesi faDoes exactly what I want, awesome! No URL that's prefilled, I can just start typing and still have my selfhosted dashboard when opening a New Tab 🫰
- Valutata 5 su 5di Cloud, 6 mesi faMost other new tab overrides just redirect to the url. But this extension uses an iframe I think. Another plus is when loading the new tab page you can set it to be dark mode or light mode, so no more flashes of white when loading a page that is dark. Give em a star on github too -> https://github.com/MethodGrab/firefox-custom-new-tab-page

However, I'm so annoyed at Mozilla for making an addon to be necessary!!
It's so dumb that they don't let you change the NewTab url like they let you change your new window start page.
There is really NO reason for Mozilla NOT to off the ability to do so.
Well, I'm betting that it has to do with $$$ honestly. The default new tab page is all about Pocket and most of the default articles it gives you are to paid sites that Pocket (aka Mozilla) make money from.... soooooo, that is the ONLY reason why I can see them not offering.
Because lets face it, we open new tabs A LOT more then we do new windows. - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 18169319, 7 mesi fa

- Valutata 5 su 5di John, 10 mesi faAfter hunting for an extension that allows you to use a custom url as a new tab this is IT!
All the other extensions don't clear the url bar when making a new tab. So when you start typing the characters are appended to the url bar contents, meaning you need to manually clear the url bar each time.
This one fixes that! I've struggled with it for a month now, and finally found this extension. Thanks MethodGrab! - Valutata 3 su 5di Vindikato, un anno fa

- Valutata 5 su 5di gordo, un anno faDoes what it says on the tin, and I really appreciate that it does so while maintaining focus on the address bar.
- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 17453031, un anno faThe only custom new tab addon that works well (with automatic selectable address bar)! Thanks to the dev.
- Valutata 5 su 5di David Wynn, un anno faThis is a great add on for displaying a simple, custom new tab page.
Especially if your page doesn't have links and just displays some JS enabled info, it's a great way to not pollute the address bar as you do so.
Works great for my simple use case! - Valutata 5 su 5di VeeIn3D, 2 anni fa

Should be in the description that search engines like google doesn't work since its probably the most popular custom url.
