newtabhomepage's Issues

URL is set to late after tab creation

When I updated Firefox to version 57 I discovered a big regression: I cannot longer change the URL immediately after I created a new tab.

I used to press Ctrl+T, Ctrl+L to create a new tab and focus on the location bar where I could immediately enter my new URL or search string. But this is not working anymore, because of several reasons:

  • First of all, the address bar is usually not focused when pressing Ctrl+L. For some reason I have to wait around 1 second after the tab creating until Ctrl+L works.
  • Second of all, Firefox takes quite long (around 2 seconds) until it sets the URL to the start page that is loaded. So I actually have to wait around 2 seconds to press Ctrl+L when I want to focus the address bar and select the URL. This is very annoying.

Appears to have stopped working in FF49

NTHP appears to have been crippled by the upgrade to FF49. Was working fine under FF48. I am using multiple other add-ons but have not added any between the upgrades. Unfortunately, do not have time to investigate further.

Please add a FLOSS license

Hi,

This addon is under copyright (that's what happens when you do not put a license), it appears in addons.mozilla.org as having "Custom License". I use only free and open source software, and there are many like me.

Please pick a license for your work to make it clear that the source code is available.

Thank you,
Andrei

extension just displays a white page

Hi,
Linux mint 18.3 (up to date) , firefox 63.0 with newtabhomepage active.
my home page is a file (file:///home/userid/html/menu.html)
The extension ignores it and displays a white page.
Any idea about why this happens??
Thanks
Patrick

New tab makes mouse go to address box

I have my new tab home page set to Google. When click + to get a new tab, the mouse goes to the address bar. Can it be be set to go to the search box?

Problem with newtabhomepage

I've no idea if this is the correct place to ask, but I'm here now so I will.

I have newtabhomepage installed on my mac, running sierra 10.12.6, through Firefox 55.0.3 (64-bit). Newtabhomepage installs fine, runs for a couple of days, then stops so I have to disable it and reinstall.

Have you a solution?

Adaptation to Pale Moon

I would like to use this excellent add-on in Pale Moon browser, a fork of Firefox with significant differences. Would you be interested in porting your addon over to be Pale Moon compatible?

Although PM does not support Mozilla Add-on SDK, there is PMKit for adapting JetPack extensions (basically, a library that provides basic compatibility layer with Mozilla Add-on SDK).

Many developers have successfully adapted their JetPack extensions for PM, as you can see here: https://github.com/JustOff/pm27-sdk-addons/blob/master/README.md

Google.com

Is there a setting that can be adjusted when Google is the homepage for the cursor to default to the search box instead of URL?

Thanks!

Add-on disabled/withdrawn by Mozilla Add-ons site

I've just been informed that this add-on has now been disabled because it is in breach of Mozilla policy, resulting from an ad-hoc add-on review. Here's the direct statement from the reviewer:

Add-ons must not load or redirect to a remote new tab page. The new tab page must be contained within the add-on.

Seeing as that's the only thing this add-on does, and has ever done, and is in both the name and description, I am a little surprised that after 17 years (and hundreds of thousands of users) someone has decided the behaviour isn't acceptable.

I guess this is now formally dead in the water.

Feel free to complain to Mozilla directly if you want this resolved, I am not going to spend my time doing so, however if you get a positive outcome I'm happy to keep this add-on going.

local html home page does not appear

I just installed the new Firefox Quantum which did not allow the old "newtab" extension I was using.
I found your newtabhomepage and installed it. When I open a new tab, nothing is displayed.
I see you already have a bug report for this.
The address I am using for my home page is: file:///C:/www/hfgrimmfam.html
Is there a variation of that address that might work?

Page Back is Disabled

After my new tab homepage loads and I navigate away, I can't use the back button to return to my homepage. When the homepage was settable from within firefox, the homepage would show up in the history so that you could page back to it.

ETA: One workaround I have discovered is after clicking the new page tab, I click the home button. It reloads itself and then it will show up as the first page in the history.

Cursor position on windows after the first one

I finally found out what was driving me nuts starting from 0.5.0!

Before 0.5.0:

  • Open first Firefox window. Cursor is inside the home page.
  • Open another Firefox window. Cursor is also inside the home page.

Since 0.5.0:

  • Open first Firefox window. Cursor is inside the home page.
  • Open another Firefox window. Cursor is inside the location bar. Aaaand, its content is not selected, so if you type something, it is appended instead of replacing. So instead of some search terms, you end up with some erroneous location.

Windows 7, Firefox 41.0.1

I tried the New Tab Override add-on, it has the same issue.

Maybe it is some bug in this new Firefox API? Considering this issue and #3, maybe it would be judicious to revert to the pre-0.5.0 method for the time being?

Add option to select all immediately in address bar.

I'm sure many people can relate to this, but for myself I use this to open up an extension (Tab Stash). This of course fills the address bar and places the cursor at the beginning. Often however I'm not interacting with the tab but instead typing in the search bar. Would it be possible to make it automatically do "Select All" (Ctrl+A) when a new tab is made in the address bar? Would be a handy little feature :)

Thanks for such a straight forward extension btw.

Problem with links on websites that open a new tab

Using FireFox 57.0 and newtabhomepage 0.6.2 on a Windows 10 PC

With the add-on enabled, when clicking on a link on a page that opens a new tab, the requested page does not display properly. With the add-on disabled, the page is displayed correctly.

Steps to reproduce:
Go to Pinterest, log in and select a Pin. Click on the "Open" button.

A new tab is opened and goes busy briefly.
The resultant page is blank except for a tiny, tiny image in the top left-hand corner. This is the expected image but this is how it appears:

capture

If that same tab is then used for a different website, the tiny image changes but the page is still not displayed correctly.

If, instead of clicking on the "Open" button, you right-click and select "Open Link in New Tab", the page is displayed correctly. The same tab can then be used successfully for other sites.

The problem does not occur on an iMac High Sierra.

"Cursor to page" option

The homepage I have set in my FF contains an input field that I would like to get focused immediately after the new tab is open so I can start writing into the field. Currently, the Location bar content is selected and focused, which state I don't need as it is easily reachable by pressing Ctrl-L.

Would it be possible, please?

It's really beyond me, why vanilla FF does not offer "Home page" among options for new tab itself when it is already possible to pick between popular pages and blank page.

Thanks for this neat extension.

Firefox Quantum 61.0.1 (32-bit) won't open a new tab to a local custom .htm file that I use as my homepage

I just updated from Firefox Quantum 59.0 (32-bit), which worked fine with New Tab Homepage 0.6.2, to Firefox Quantum 61.0.1 (32-bit), and now, when I try to open a new tab, it will no longer open a custom .htm file, that I use as my homepage.

I took and striped Yahoo's search bar from Yahoo's Search page, so I don't have to put up with any ads, or auto suggestions. Then, I added a link to Yahoo Mail, and an envelope image next to it. And that's it. A very simple homepage. It worked great until I updated.

Here's what it looks like

homepage

When I first start Firefox it still loads my homepage fine. But, when I try to open a new tab, it just loads a blank page now. Here's what that looks like.

blank page

Either Firefox is restricting access by add-ons to local files now. Or, there is a problem with New Tab Homepage 0.6.2, working correctly with Firefox Quantum 61.0.1 (32-bit).

I should mention that I use this same .htm file for my homepage with Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Opera. All of which are still working fine. It's just the combination of New Tab Homepage 0.6.2 and Firefox Quantum 61.0.1 (32-bit) that is causing a problem. I just can't tell if it's the browser, or the add-on, that is the problem. I suspect that it's the add-on since Firefox still loads the homepage fine on it's own. It's not until I try to open a new tab that it can't find the file and open it.

Could you please look into the problem and fix it?

Thanks

Text input in search bar and not in URL bar

Hello,

Your extension works but there is a little problem for me. When a new tab is opened and shows my homepage (Google), the URL part is selected and if I want to search something I need to click on the search bar from the website otherwise it'll just replace the URL.

Can you please put the text input automatically in the search bar of the website and not in the URL of Firefox? At least give us the option to do it so if we want.

I know it's possible because when I click on the home button in Firefox and my homepage shows up, the search bar of Google is automatically selected and I can write in it without the one click.

Thank you.

doesn't work?

A zombie now has my Firefox 41.0.2 opening new tabs on an unwanted search page. I've installed newtabhomepage and it doesn't work - I still get the zombie page. Any thoughts? and thanks for doing this - it's the extension I want and need, but it just isn't working

urlbar focus

Hi Ben. I've used the newtabhomepage extension for a really long time and its always been great and simple to use. However with the latest version of FF (I'm running 80.0.1 (64-bit)) every time I open a new tab the focus goes to the url/address bar instead of the actual web page that's being open. It is super annoying to the point that I spend a couple hours trying to find a solution but came empty handed. I was force to install the "New Tab Override by Sören Hentzschel" since that extension has the option to set the focus on the page as opposed to the url bar. You might want to add the option/update your project to tackle this new FF behavior since it makes your extension impractical. Anyways, thanks for everything you've done and for all your time you spend helping the FF community!! Cheers!!

NTHP works on one system, not on another

I think this is a new issue - at least to me.
New tab home page works fine on my laptop system: 64-bit Windows 7, Firefox 57.0.4 (64-bit).
But not on my desktop PC: 64-bit Windows 10, Firefox 57.0.4 (64-bit). When I select New Tab I see a blank white page with
Extension (New Tab Homepage) | Search or enter address
The only difference I see is the Windows version.
Is there an option I'm missing that would correct this?

roboform

When my homepage is https://start.roboform.com/, opening new tab gives message that roboform is not installed. Using the home screen button it loads after hitting the button two or three times, and slowly. After removing your addin, the homepage button works quickly on the first try.

Rewrite New Tab Homepage using WebExtensions APIs

Mozilla have announced plans to phase out all non-WebExtension add-ons by the end of 2017. While I consider this decision to be utterly insane (and half expect them to end up extending that deadline, if they have any users left to appease at that point), it's safe to assume that this add-on will have to be rewritten or will cease to exist at the end of 2017.

Current blockers in the WebExtensions API:

Not blocking, but relevant:

Stop working with firefox 60.0 update

Firefox just updated to v60.0 (64bits)
NewTabHomepage stopped working.
it's the return of "Local Homepage" bug like #24
It looks like it's trying to load but never get there ... (blank page)
(i have " ! " caracters and spaces in my local URL)
edit: i removed the " ! " caracters and spaces and it is still not working.

Thank you and good luck
Jay.

Not working on Firefox 58.0.2 64 bit

Just updated Firefox 58.0.2 64 bit on my HP Win 10 laptop and now the NewTabHomepage does not work. I removed and reinstalled it but it still leaves a blank page. I can select the Home Page icon and it works.

Not Working with 59.0.3

I use my own (local) HTM file as my Homepage, and this add-on simply adds a black page when I click the + next to a tab.

Content page should receive focus, or URL should be selected, by user preference

When opening a tab, the homepage is loaded, but the cursor is placed in the URL/location bar instead of giving focus to the page that was loaded. E.g. if you have google.com as your homepage and press "Home", the cursor goes in the Google search field. If you open a new tab, it goes in the URL bar, at the start, and doesn't even select the URL for easy replacement.

Filed bug 1411465 to ask for an enhancement to the tab API to allow this to be controlled better.

Not working on Firefox 57

This add-on hasn't worked for me since Firefox 57. When a new tab is created, only a blank page appears although the address bar reads 'Extension (New tab homepage)'. I've had several subsequent updates of Firefox but still the add-on doesn't work.

Closing last tab

Closing the last tab when browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab is false opens a blank tab instead of a homepage one.

Latest Porteus Linux + Firefox 38 + NewTab Homepage 0.4.3

Firefox 75 new address bar makes the address expand until New Tab Homepage content isn't focused.

Hi.

Firefox introduced a new address bar in version 75 that expands while it's focused. Since New Tab Homepage (thankfully) focus the content of the homepage, until it doesn't finish loading, the address bar is expanded for a brief moment, which makes it look ugly.

Is this something that could be fixed or something that we have to learn to live with it?

Thanks for your work on this great extension.

Feature request: Cursor in search field

Hello Ben,
Thanks for this add-on.I like that it allows me to go straight to my home page, uncluttered..

I note that it's possible to configure Firefox to do the same thing (the review of your add-in by 'GaryOB' on Jan 15 2015 gives the clue, although in my case I had to enter the home page's URL).

But for me, both your add-on and changing the configuration have the same 'problem'. They present the cursor initially in the address bar instead of in the search field. (The reviewer 'Wargum' raised this too, on Sep 15 2014).

Although the address bar also functions as a search field, some of us prefer to keep the the two functions separate.

Is there any chance your add-on could provide for the cursor in a new tab to be presented in the search field of the page, please - either as a feature or as an option?

(My home page is https://duckduckgo.com and my current Firefox version is 36.0 running under Windows 8.1)

URL displayed in address bar when opening a new tab

Thanks for this addon. This is more a feature request than a bug.

I have the habit when opening a new tab to enter a search expression in the address bar - as a fast way of searching. This works well for example in Chrome because the address bar does not contain any text after I opened a new tab even if the tab is configured to display a certain website.

With this addon I have to delete first the address of the site that is displayed before I can enter a search expression - not a massive issue but it would be more convenient if this would work like in Chrome.

Incompatible with latest Firefox version

Works with Firefox 41.0a2 - 43.*

This doesn't include the latest ESR version of Firefox while the add-on is very likely compatible with it.
It causes Mozilla to deliver old versions to ESR users.
I personally use ESR because I'm not interested in Mozilla's experiments or in downloading a huge update every 6 weeks. Others feel the same or are limited by organisations who can't update Firefox as frequently.

Does Not Work from Disc File with Ver 59.0.2

Home page is:
file:///D:/User/Bob/Browser%20Bookmark%20Files/bookmarks.html
Firefox Quantum version is: 59.0.2 (64-bit)

When a new tab loads, the page area is blank (all white), but none of the "bookmarks.html" file is present. This file does load as the Home Page when the browser first starts up however.

Hope you can work this out,
Bob
