Features & Capabilities

NewTab Studio turns Firefox's new tab page into a customizable desktop-style dashboard.

Features:

Draggable, resizable widget windows
Quick Links and Weather enabled by default
Optional RSS, Pomodoro, Stopwatch, Todo, Quotes, Calendar, Photo, and Embed widgets
Wallpaper gallery, slideshow support, and glass treatments
Search and clock block with layout and style controls
Import/export of your dashboard profile

Dashboard settings, widget layout, timers, wallpapers, and icon overrides are stored locally in Firefox storage. Search queries are sent only to the search engine you choose when you submit the search bar. Weather requests go to Open-Meteo and its geocoding API when you use the weather widget. RSS feeds and favicons are fetched only from URLs you add yourself. NewTab Studio does not send telemetry or sync your dashboard to a developer-controlled server.

Known limitations:

Some third-party embeds may be blocked by provider frame policies.
Weather and RSS widgets require network access to the services you configure.

Is NewTab Studio 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 Studio requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

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