Works well. The only downside is I have to wait a second when I open a new tab before I start typing a URL. This attacks me constantly.

Edit: Thanks bruh!

Hey, just wanted to let you know you don't need this addon if you're using a recent version of Firefox. You can go to "Options" -> "Home" -> "New Windows and Tabs" and set it to "Blank Page" - no addons needed and no delays. Hope this helps you!

Good addon but unfortunately ff61(.0.1) introduced a small issue:
open new tab, enter some url, press backbutton
expected: blank page
actual: some url is still shown, seems to be gfx buffer or something, cant click anything and switching to other tab and back does clear the contents

edit after reply: framebuffer issues like these could be anything really i guess and may be specific to my system :) i had not noticed the new blank page feature so that saves us both the hassle i guess, thanks for the reply!

ps. it was about the site-content-area, not the url-bar, i should have been more clear i see now

That's odd - it seems to work for me in v61. When I press back button, I get the usual "Search or enter address" text in URL bar.

By the way, Blank New Tab isn't needed any more with v61 as Firefox have added an option to set the new tab to a blank page by default. I'll add a note about this to the add-on description.

Great add-on! A small annoyance: in Firefox Quantum the new tab does not select the URL field. So to type a new URL you need to hit CMD-L first. Otherwise perfect!

Mostly works. With ff v58 it flashes a moz:// extension URL (too quick to be more precise) in the URL bar before switching to about:newtab. Also, for whatever reason, it doesn't override the standard new tab page when opening a new window. Hopefully these are things that can be fixed! :)

Edit: my mistake; opening a new window shows about:home, which by default is set to the 'Mozilla Firefox Start Page', which is seemingly about:newtab. But about:newtab appears to be the standard new tab page, not the one overridden by this extension. That doesn't feel right, but it's Firefox's behaviour, not that of this extension's author. Changing the Home Page in prefs to about:blank fixes the problem for new windows.

Edit2: by weird coincidence, I wrote the Edit above while you were responding to my first review!!! So I ended up repeating what you said anyway!! :)
It's a shame about the flash; it actually makes the extension too annoying to use. The real answer to such a trivial feature is for Firefox to let users set their own 'new tab' page in their prefs, in the same way as setting the home page. Hopefully, that basic ability will be added sometime! Best of luck! :)

Thanks for the review!

Regarding the URL flash, this is due to a WebExtensions restriction: the new tab page must be a HTML page included in the add-on, so Blank New Tab includes a basic page which immediately redirects to "about:blank". This is why you see that quick flash.

Regarding new windows, the page opened for them seems to be controlled by the "When Firefox starts" setting in Preferences -> General. Setting that to "Show a blank page" should work as you expect.

Edit reply: Definitely agreed that setting the new tab page should be a prefs option, though this extension was only created because such an option was removed way back in Firefox 41!

Yeah, that flash can be a little annoying. If you'd like the blank page without the flash, the "New Tab about:blank" add-on (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-about-blank/), is practically the same as this one, except it doesn't actually redirect to "about:blank" (despite its name), it just uses a completely empty HTML page. The downside is that there's an "Extension (...)" message shown at the start of the address bar.
