- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13782463, 7 years agoShift command T did not work (Ctrl Shift T) because the new tab override would prevent previously closed webpages to open.

posted 7 years agoPlease tell me what is missing if you give only four stars. Without comment a review is not very useful because I, as developer of the add-on, does not know what I have to improve to make you happy. Thank you. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13773971, 7 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13770695, 7 years agoThe new tab extension works exactly how I like. Except I would love it if there was an option that stops the last tab from closing unless you click the close button.
* Edit
Right now ctrl W will close the current tab, if you have lots of tabs open and you hit ctrl w several times it will close them all and eventually close the browser window. It would be nice to check a box to turn this option on or off.
To prevent this from happening right now you have to go into the Firefox preferences: about:config and set the browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab pref to false.
BTW, being able to focus on window and usability are the main reasons this add-on is superior to all the other "new tab" type add-ons out there right now. Great Job!Developer response

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13711564, 7 years agoWorks as advertised. Great plugin to deal with the annoying "feature" introduced in the new firefox version.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Vlijmen Fileer, 7 years agoThanks you /so/ much for producing this extension to unsuck another disgusting example of Mozilla's user-hating attitude.
A suggestion: There must be some bug report in Bugzilla to rectify this instance of user abuse by Mozilla. You could mention it on your extension page so that people who come there can follow the link to vote for that bug report. - Rated 3 out of 5by : z :, 7 years agoThere's currently a conflict between New Tab Override and Open Tabs Next to Current that causes tabs to open two to the right of current only when New Tab Override is enabled. Not sure which extension is to blame, but New Tab Override is working well otherwise.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13664509, 7 years agoUseful Add-on. Only sad that it is neccessary at all.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12059907, 7 years agoOne of the best extensions for taking back control of your browser.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13658325, 7 years agoWhen I select "current home page" and then open a new tab, I get an empty page instead of the current home page. If I select "local file" and then open a new tab I see a garbled version of the local file. Unfortunately, this add-on is useless for me. (It's a shame that an add-on is needed in the first place.)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13657995, 7 years agoBefore installing this add-on I was a bit concerned by quite a few of the reviews saying it didn't work or was complicated to use.
Well, it worked perfectly for me, and was not in any way complicated. If you simply wish to set your newtab to open on a fixed webpage, go to the add-on options and type the desired URL into the text box. Done. It's that simple.
It's a bad reflection on Mozilla that this add-on is needed, but a huge thanks must go to the developer for creating it.
Mozilla really should have known better than to force a change so radical upon their userbase that it requires an add-on to return things to normality.
