New Tab (shows your homepage)

A Firefox extension that puts your homepage on new tabs, without stealing keyboard focus from the address bar.

This add-on shows your homepage on new tabs, instead of the default Firefox start page.

Features

• Seamless Workflow: The address bar is immediately focused and ready for input, just like on the default new tab page. No extra clicks needed—just open a tab and start typing.
• Power-User Ready: Built for keyboard-heavy workflows. Press Esc in the address bar to instantly shift focus to the page, enabling immediate use of extensions like Vimium-C. No extra clicks needed, unlike other similar add-ons.
• Dark Theme Friendly: Avoids the blinding "flash of white" when opening a new tab in a dark environment by respecting your browser's theme.
• Lightweight & Secure: This add-on is open source (MPL) and consists of only about 20 lines of JS. No data collection, no bloat, no nonsense.

Installation

1. Visit the extension page on Mozilla Add-ons.
2. Click the "Add to Firefox" button.
3. Done! Every new tab will now show your homepage.
