    tl;dr - A+ addon, simple, light. And I don't have to deal with friggin' Firefox Start 😆

    angry ramble - It was nice when Firefox had features and customization almost two decades ago. Now they slash features, save ALL OF THE telemetry data, then spam email/advertise to buy their VPN/Relay service. They're turning into their own enemy 🙄

    Thank you! :)

    Regaring your off-topic paragraph: Firefox allows more customization than EVERY other browser. Telemetry is good for users and everyone with an opinion about the product should keep it enabled. It's ridiculous that the people who disable telemetry are the same who are angry because Mozilla removes their favourite feature. Also, Mozilla does not spam their users. That's just not true at all.

    Makes my life easier!~ Appreciate the developer explains the reasons of giving rights to the AddOn. That increases the transparency~

    excellent should be a default thing, my dad switched to firefox just for this!

    Thank you!

    It was a default feature of Firefox some years ago. But Mozilla had to remove it because it was abused by third party software to change the new tab page to adware pages without user consent. For that reason it's only possible for add-ons now.

    This issue is not related to New Tab Override at all. It's a known Firefox bug that can happen under certain circumstances.

    Thanks for the great rating!

    RE: Thank you for addressing the issue. Before rating the extension, I unpacked it and looked at the code. It didn't make any sense to me why it had that as part of validation.

    Thanks a lot, Sören.

    Can't set custom homepage with custom protocol e.g. moz-extension://

    You can use moz-extension:// URIs now. In the future, please request features via appropriate channels instead of abusing the review system. Maybe you want to consider a better review now as your only point of criticism was addressed.
