It fully achieves the goal of changing the new tab page and properly clearing the address bar. It is the best extension for faithfully fulfilling this purpose.

This extension allowed me to switch from Chrome to Firefox since I've been using a Start.me page for a very long time and I needed the address bar to be empty when a new tab is opened.
Custom New Tab Page does the job flawlessly. An iframe is no problem for me since all links are opened in new tabs. Or you can just middle click them, you know.

Does exactly what I want it to do, I use this to make a "spacer" tab with my vertical tabs (since I have so many...), and I can set the title of the new tab to be a nice, visual "—————" instead of "about:newtab", which makes browsing through my long list of tabs much easier! Plus, the author's website at zen.mint.as looks super professional and works extremely well as a new tab page!

Very nice

Thanks this works. if someone is seeing an error about X-Frame, dont forget to go to the extension settings and enable "Remove Iframe header" option

Okay for the feature, but changing the theme hard crashes the browser. Just cut the functionality, it's not needed but killing off potential work is just a disaster of an extension.

The best tool that works perfectly.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is a Firefox add-on market just for this.

Firefox can't open this page

To protect your security, ..... doesn't allow Firefox to show the page if another website has embedded it. To view this page, you must open it in a new window.

Working really well, can be confirgured exaclty how I needed

Best option to have a custom url and not change the address bar, perfect

Does exactly what I want, awesome! No URL that's prefilled, I can just start typing and still have my selfhosted dashboard when opening a New Tab 🫰

Most other new tab overrides just redirect to the url. But this extension uses an iframe I think. Another plus is when loading the new tab page you can set it to be dark mode or light mode, so no more flashes of white when loading a page that is dark. Give em a star on github too -> https://github.com/MethodGrab/firefox-custom-new-tab-page

works great, just need to tick those 2 checkboxes in option, could be default.

It works as it should and is great.

However, I'm so annoyed at Mozilla for making an addon to be necessary!!

It's so dumb that they don't let you change the NewTab url like they let you change your new window start page.

There is really NO reason for Mozilla NOT to off the ability to do so.

Well, I'm betting that it has to do with $$$ honestly. The default new tab page is all about Pocket and most of the default articles it gives you are to paid sites that Pocket (aka Mozilla) make money from.... soooooo, that is the ONLY reason why I can see them not offering.

Because lets face it, we open new tabs A LOT more then we do new windows.

After hunting for an extension that allows you to use a custom url as a new tab this is IT!

All the other extensions don't clear the url bar when making a new tab. So when you start typing the characters are appended to the url bar contents, meaning you need to manually clear the url bar each time.

This one fixes that! I've struggled with it for a month now, and finally found this extension. Thanks MethodGrab!
