User Reviews

Cannot find anyway to activate it after install

The notepad is great and I like the style of the newtab page. However, It would be great if it'd launch with "top sites" collapsed, or if you could select the default behavior. Other than that, great. Thanks !

Is New Tab Enhanced 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.

New Tab Enhanced requires very minimum permissions.

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.

New Tab Enhanced is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
