User Reviews

Users generally find StartupApps useful: it opens apps as pinned tabs and aligns with the concept of launching a curated set of apps at startup. When it works, it does what it says and can improve startup organization. However, a pattern of issues appears across many reviews: the extension often duplicates pinned tabs on startup or reopens previously opened tabs, sometimes failing to respect existing pinned tabs or the browser's saved session. This deduplication problem, potentially worsened by Firefox session restoration, is the most mentioned pain point. Some users request a blank page at startup and more robust dedup logic.

Pros

Does exactly what it claims and works as advertised.
Opens apps in pinned tabs as intended.
Good concept and promising approach to startup automation.
Generally works well for many users and solves a common workflow problem.

Cons

Duplicates or reopens pinned tabs on startup, leading to clutter and confusion.
Does not reliably detect existing pinned tabs or URLs before opening new ones, causing duplicates.
Firefox session restoration can cause additional duplicate pinned tabs after closing and reopening.
Sometimes does not open all pinned tabs or reopens only a subset (e.g., last few) on startup.

is it possible to open and focus a blank page at browser startup? I want to avoid loading a heavy website during the startup. If that's possible, I will put 5 stars.

Is StartupApps 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.

StartupApps requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Grants access to browser tabs, which can be used to track user browsing habits and history, presenting a privacy concern.

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.

StartupApps has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
