Version 1.2.3
Released Dec 25, 2025 - 38.46 KBWorks with firefox 115.0 and later- Fix: Improved Firefox focus reliability when toggling Focus page instead of address bar; if creating a new container tab fails, Better Start now falls back to a normal tab so the focus-stealing behavior continues to work.

- Fix: Hidden commands list now properly wires up edit/delete handlers alongside the main commands list.
- Fix: The
0localhost shortcut now correctly openshttps://localhost:PORT(e.g.0 3000→https://localhost:3000), instead of inserting an extra slash. - Fix: Firefox Multi-Account Containers new tab shortcuts (e.g. Shift+Cmd+1) now preserve the selected container when Better Start focuses the page.
- Fix: When Focus page instead of address bar is disabled and Open in new tab is off, search results and command links now navigate in the top-level tab instead of inside the iframe, preventing X-Frame-Options errors on sites like Figma.
