If you want to try it out, you’ll either have to wait until it’s put back in (hopefully tonight or tomorrow), or use the UX Nightly build.
STRAWBURRY17 NEW TAB SPEEDDIAL UPDATE
Update 12:15 ET: In a perfect example of why you shouldn’t rely on Nightly builds, the New Tab Page has actually been removed from the latest Nightly. In all fairness Martin, that should have been placed before yours and PCWorld’s criticism of the feature.ĮxtremeTech put it best in the first sentence.
Chances are that we will see changes coming to the page before it hits the stable version later this year.” “It needs to be considered though that the new tab page has only been included in the nightly version of the browser. Chances are that we will see changes coming to the page before it hits the stable version later this year. It needs to be considered though that the new tab page has only been included in the nightly version of the browser. Firefox users are currently better off installing an extension that brings their new tab page to life. While it may have its uses, it lacks customization. The new tab page as it is presented now may not be to the liking of most Firefox users. Users who prefer to stick with the blank page can do so, which is one of the advantages of the browser over its competition. Opera for instance supports speed dial extensions which can display dynamic contents on the new tab page. While Mozilla aims to include a basic speed dial feature into the browser, other browsers make use of more sophisticated new tab pages. And since there is no one-page-per-domain limit, you may end up with four, five or even more pages from the same domain displayed on the new tab page. Some pages for instance show no thumbnail image, only the page title. The only remaining options are to reset the new tab page information and to hide the information which returns to the blank new tab page layout that is currently used (with the exception of a small icon in the upper right corner to turn it on again). Holding down CTRL while using the mouse wheel zooms in or out of the page.
It is alternatively possible to drag and drop thumbnails around, and to pin select sites so that they are always displays on the new tab page. You can remove individual pages from the page by hovering the mouse cursor over the entry and clicking on the appearing x icon. This is done by loading about:config in the Firefox address bar.Īll you see on the page is a selection of nine web pages that you have visited in the past. Nightly users need to activate it to have the new tab page appear in the browser. The new tab page has been integrated into Firefox Nightly and UI builds. First mockups were released in August and Mozilla back then hoped to integrate the final version into Firefox 9. We already know for some time that Mozilla plans to integrate a new tab page into the browser. Example add-ons are New Tab King which displays all kinds of information, or New Tab Homepage which loads the selected home page whenever a new tab is opened. Other web browsers, like Opera for example, are displaying information on the page, like the most popular web pages visited by you, or a search form to search right away from that page.įirefox users who want to spice up the new tab page have plenty of options in the forms of add-ons. When you currently open a new tab page in the Firefox browser, either by clicking or using the shortcut Cltr-t, you see a blank white page with no information whatsoever, not even a search form.
