Review by Ensign Epic
Rated 3 out of 5
by Ensign Epic, 4 years agoGotta say, it is really nice to open a new tab and see a random landscape, and the different widgets all have a ton of utility. The app has such amazing potential but it's held back by a ton of little bugs & its lack of some features.
To start with, the widgets are not drag and drop while editing; you click a button and it gets sent to that part of the screen. This would not be an issue if the text of certain widgets did not overlap due to apparent bounding issues. Instead of using the open space below it, text blocks lines will run an indeterminate amount before a line break. Another issue is that certain widgets are lacking features one would consider rather important. As a quick example, the Quotes widget doesn't let you choose how often they update, just the types of quotes. Another is the inability to choose which provider is used in the search bar. The final issue is that this lacks an "article" widget, for example, like the default home page's Pocket, which sorta stinks because it was always cool seeing what random articles they had to read.
I want this to be a 5 star app, it can EASILY get there as the state of the app suggests many of these are readily implemented. But there's so much suck left in this extension before it gets there, I gotta go with the 3 star for now. Looking forward to the day I can fully retire the default Firefox home screen for this.

- Rated 4 out of 5by quackcocaine, 5 days agoGreat!
Only issue is that the font options only seem to support font names that do not contain numbers (not 100% sure, but seems like it) - Rated 5 out of 5by Surya, 8 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by AliceUnrequited, 24 days agoThis is really an great app. I especially like the word clock that gives me little snippets of prose to tell the time. I do kind of wish there was a cats only options, since every time it shows me a particularly good cat picture, I pause the slideshow and end up looking at the same cat for months.

- Rated 5 out of 5by angeljs, a month agoAbsolutely loving this! I've used Chrome for years, purely based on a lovely theme they have. This has opened up a way to have that theme background on my Firefox new tab page, along with some very useful widgets. Thank you!
