Just installed it, looks like the update overrode my previously set default of a blank "new tab" page in favour of their overly fancy, ad infested "new tab experience" page. Looks like it's time for another scan of about:config for any other nasties they decided to sneak in there this time.
- DiThi 9y agoNo need to dive into about:config. Just click the gear icon at the top left to disable all stuff.
- oblio 9y agoOn the other hand, for some reason they've decided to make the tab previews smaller. Now I have a bunch of small thumbnails on a huge page... And now way to increase their size :(
- DiThi 9y agoHave you tried Ctrl-wheel or Ctrl-+ (plus key)?
- oblio 9y agoHuh, it's actually saved, I thought it was a temporary setting. Thanks! :) Still not perfect, since I'm just zooming in some PNGs. And the new thumbnails are square while most pages that I view are rectangular. But it will do, for now.
- contravariant 9y agoI would be happy if I could just get a new tab that responded to addon defined gestures and hotkeys. Best solution so far seems to be to use the New Tab Override addon and point it to a blank page somewhere online.
- Sylos 9y agoI'm not entirely sure what you mean with that, so I can't test it, but have you tried about:blank? So, just give it "about:blank" as URL in New Tab Override. That's a blank page, as you might have guessed, but it's built into Firefox, so should load a lot faster. Really don't know, though, if Firefox actually treats it like a webpage or not.
- contravariant 9y agoExtension defined pages and all special "about:" pages are apparently off limits. You also can't make New Tab Override point to a local file (it can load a local file and present it as a webpage, but that defeats the point as it just becomes an extension defined webpage again).
