Features & Capabilities

What is NewTab Pastels? A fun minimalist & colorful customizable pastel themed new tab page with search bar.

Features

NewTab page slowly scrolls through the rainbow on each new tab.
Customize your NewTab page with the sidebars.
Add custom bookmarks directly to you new tab page.
Random quotes to spark curiosity on each new tab.
Dynamically adjust you browser theme to match you current color (optional).

How To Use

Move your mouse to either side of the screen and click the sidebar that appears to load the settings menu.
The left settings allows you to pick color while the right lets you choose which elements are visible on the page.
Click the plus button at the top bottom of the page (depending on settings) to add a bookmark.
Right click on a bookmark to either delete bookmark or add a new one.

Permissions

Themes: Not used by default but if you select 'theme' in settings it will set you browser theme color to that of the new tab. This feature is experimental and may result in the loss of your previous theme if reversed. To get your old theme back you will need to access you themes settings with Add-ons and themes > Themes and re-enable the desired theme.

Is NewTab Pastels 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.

NewTab Pastels 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.

NewTab Pastels is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
