I like this addon, it works fine despite being a little confusing UI/Options wise. However there is a glaring issue which is it ignores the users preferences for DNS. It leaks your newtab request to third parties (Cloudflare from what I'm seeing) when all your other Firefox settings have that disabled.

@dev (since there is no reply) reporting to Mozilla is like screaming at a wall to move. They've also been ruining Firefox for years and I'm sure the internal goal is to continue the trend of ignoring user feedback and making things worse. So I have zero confidence reporting to anyone else would correct things.

If this is an issue with the interface you are forced to use it doesn't change the fact it's still true. If as a developer you are unable to use an API/function that works for your purposes and adheres to the security/DNS settings a user has set up then so be it. I doesn't mean I shouldn't tell you (or other users) and I never said you were doing anything malicious, though I did not dig into what DNS the request is sent to, only that it comes back from CloudFlare.

Testing: I run local services and one is a "new tab speed dial" for several users. I monitor logs for external requests. If I open the url from a bookmark or by manually typing it in, the page loads and the server log shows nothing as it's an internal request. However if you open with NewTabOverride all the sudden the page loads and the logs show an external IP (cloudflare) requesting the page. i.e. requests are no longer adhering to settings and sending queries to third party services.

It 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.

give me the feature i miss in vanilla firefox

The 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!

Just new url for new tab, easy, perfect working with just the right permissions. Thanks for your work.

Finally... Why is Mozilla insisting on NOT allowing this setting by default is beyond my understanding. Many thanks to the developer :o)

very good!!!very useful!!!

this is legit. <3 thank you

I 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.

Works 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!
