User reviews

Users appreciate that 'My Homepage' effectively overrides Firefox's default new tab page to open their chosen homepage, enhancing browsing customization. However, multiple users report that the cursor focus sticks to the address bar rather than the page's search box, which affects usability. Additionally, some users are frustrated by the add-on opening unwanted advertisement tabs, which diminishes trust. The extension also struggles to load custom local files as homepages. Despite these issues, many find it useful for controlling new tab behavior.

Pros

Allows users to set their own homepage, ensuring new tabs open the desired page rather than default or unwanted pages.
Simple and effective functionality that many users appreciate for customizing their browsing experience.
Works well to override Firefox's default new tab page and open a preferred homepage.

Cons

Focus remains on the address bar instead of the search box or main content area on the opened homepage, reducing usability.
Randomly opens unwanted advertisement tabs directing to the developer's blog, which is intrusive and frustrating.
Does not support custom local files as homepages (e.g., file:// URLs), limiting flexibility for some users.

When a new tab is opened, the cursor moves to the address bar, not the search box, on the newly opened page. Can you please fix this anomaly?

Extension safety

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.

My Homepage requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
