FF-TabLaunch Firefox

FF-TabLaunch

Replace Firefox's new tab and homepage with a fast, private dashboard of your favorite sites. TabLaunch uses a JSON-configurable settings page to define categorized links, supports search and keyboard navigation.

Features & Capabilities

TabLaunch puts your most-used links front-and-center every time you open a new tab. Designed for speed and simplicity, it organizes bookmarks into customizable categories so you can quickly find and launch sites without digging through menus.

Highlights

  • Visual builder and JSON editor: Create and edit categories and links with a drag-friendly builder, or paste/import a JSON configuration for power users and backups.
  • Live preview: See changes instantly in a preview modal before saving.
  • Icon and color customization: Pick Material Symbols icons for categories and individual links and apply per-category accent colors to make sections easy to scan.
  • Reorder easily: Move categories and links up or down to prioritize what matters most.
  • Import/export: Copy your full configuration as JSON for sharing or backup.
  • Lightweight and fast: Minimal UI and local storage keep the extension responsive.

Privacy & storage Your links and configuration are stored locally in the browser (extension storage/local files). TabLaunch does not upload your link data to external servers. The settings UI may load icons/fonts from public CDNs for visual rendering, but your saved links remain in your browser.

Getting started Open the settings page to build categories and links or paste a JSON configuration. Use the preview to confirm layout and appearance. Save to persist your configuration; export JSON to backup or transfer to another installation.

Is FF-TabLaunch Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

FF-TabLaunch requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

  • Medium *** ***** *** *** ********* ****** ****** *** **** **** ********** ** ****** **** ***********
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

FF-TabLaunch is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
