New Tab Override by Sören Hentzschel

Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 14976658, 6 years agoThe extension used to work great!!! Loved it. But until I can resolve the following problem, I disabled it. Recently, when opening a new tab, there is a pop-up window in the upper right of the page that says something about New Tab Override changing a page, and there appears to be 2 buttons to push below the warning. Problem is, it pops up then disappears before I can read the whole thing, or have a change to push either of the buttons. VERY ANNOYING. Always happens with the first new tab, and occasionally happens when an additional tab is opened. Windows 10. Not sure if this is a New Tab Override problem, or a Firefox problem. Keep getting passed to someone else.

- Rated 4 out of 5by joefiesta, 25 days agoIt was working fine. But, no longer. I have chosen custom URL (https ://www google com /advanced_search). It doesn't go there upon opening new tab.
It may have been updating firefox to 136.0.4. (spaces added to URL - review does not allow otherwise)
EDIT: Okay, now I got it work. I had to uninstall it and re-install. Something Firefox did somewhere broke it, but I can't say what. I certainly never touched it. Developer response

It was a feature in „vanilla Firefox“ in the past, but it was abused by bad players and therefore Mozilla was forced to remove the option. But at the same time they gave extension developers the ability. So we have to be thankful to Mozilla.- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17434746, a month agoThe Bets! But, I can't donate through paypal cus they charge a fee! Suggest Venmo or other donation platform because PayPal is also run by APartheid NaXis!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18710082, 3 months agoFinally... Why is Mozilla insisting on NOT allowing this setting by default is beyond my understanding. Many thanks to the developer :o)

It was possible several years ago, but Mozilla had to take this option from Firefox because hijacking was a real problem at that time. But we should be thankful, because Mozilla provided a WebExtension API on the first time when they removed this option. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18771567, 4 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Yodaminium, 5 months agoI have used this for the last 5?10yrs.? I forget how long I've been suing this neat little extension. I can always count on it to work! I am going to donate.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Jacksaur, 5 months agoWorks perfectly. The option to change auto-focus from the address bar to the webpage is an awesome feature too, makes it much easier to use the search bar in Glance as a new tab page!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13449591, 6 months agoIch finde die Erweiterung Top, aber seit einiger Zeit fällt mir auf, dass der Fokus bei meiner Startseite startpage.com nicht mehr auf die Suchleiste gesetzt wird, obwohl die Option "Fokus auf Webseite statt in Adressleiste setzen" aktiviert ist. Geht das nur mir so, oder ist das ein Bug?

posted 2 months agoHallo,
Danke für die positive Bewertung! Ich habe die Erweiterung auf startpage.com getestet und bei mir funktioniert die Fokus-Option wie erwartet. Vielleicht hat sich das Problem in der Zwischenzeit durch eine Website-Änderung erledigt. - Rated 5 out of 5by sctech, 7 months ago
