I have always used a local web page of my own making to use as a home page. The new web extensions version did not on first glance appear to support the ability to use anything other than http:// or https://. On closer examination it turns out I can use my local web page - just read the instructions carefully. Just select "Local File" and "Load Local File" and you've solved the problem. I think if I were the author I'd make this instruction a little more plain.

I've used this extension for years with nothing but good things to say about it.

Works perfectly. Opening a new tab now opens my normal home page.

Can you add a setting to make the address bar URL to open in a new tab ?

Works well for me. Thank you.

It's simple and it works!

parfait ;-)

Outstanding. I can make google my new tab page again!

Thank you! Works perfectly!

Love ie

It's nice to have something that works so well for the new Firefox! FYI if you need to select the search bar to do a search you can just hit Alt+D.

Worked instantly, hooray!! After messing around with advice from forums I discovered this add-on. It is well worth a donation. I recommend it. Thank you.

A very useful addon for anyone, if like me, you find having the default page on a new tab being dictated by the browser developers inconvenient and would rather choose your own.

Whether it be a favorite search engine (even region specific, e.g. https://www.google.co.uk) a file on your local computer or pretty much anything else, this addon makes it extremely easy and very fast to accomplish.

Highly recommended based on my experience and unhappiness with the basic browser functionality.

Nice!
Now does anyone have a HTML5 Template or similar that looks and works as Superstart did so i can host it myself?

Sehr gute Funktion und das Add-On sollte eigentlich in Firefox, ab 57?, implementiert sein.
Es bringt mir die alte funktionalität zurück.
Danke an den Entwickler

WORKS! Another addon necessary only because of stupid Mozilla designers taking options away from the user. Thank you for fixing mozilla's moronic decisions.

TO DEVELOPER:
I don't know your reasons for not agreeing, frankly I don't care, but mozilla keeps breaking things that work. I say this as a user and I experience it with nearly every update.

the possibility to choose!!!!!!!!
