New tab redirect Firefox

New tab redirect

By: Irvirty
Any website in a new tab. This add-on automatically opens your website every time you open a new tab in your browser.

Features & Capabilities

New Tab Redirect lets you replace the default new-tab page with any website you choose. Simply enter your URL in the extension options, then open a new tab (click + or press Ctrl+T) and the extension will quickly create the new tab and redirect it to your specified page.

The add-on works fast and seamlessly: when a new tab opens the extension page loads, redirects to the URL you set, then closes itself—leaving you on your preferred site. Ideal for custom homepages, dashboards, web apps, or business pages that you want instantly available every time you open a tab.

Is New tab redirect 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 redirect requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Medium Can alter new tab settings; fairly benign but with some capability to affect user experience.
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 redirect is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
