• This Firefox add-on was recently updated on February 21st, 2020 :) Which is just a few months back. But the Chrome extension was last updated February 10th, 2019. Which is more than one year ago :( - Rated 5 out of 5by Ivinovich, 6 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Culórin, 6 years agoI very much enjoy the simple and precise way, this add-on works. I second however other reviewers, that it would be better, if settings weren't stored via cookies.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14558352, 7 years agoIt would be great if you add more options, for example, I have a folder with a lot of bookmarks, when I open it I want the folder to occupy the entire column. And if the height of the column is greater than the height of vieport, then the column would automatically be divided into several columns. Or, my dream is vivaldi speeddial for firefox in which instead of screenshots of sites there will be favicons. It would be great. Thank you. I hope your understand my English.
- Rated 1 out of 5by lamies_h, 7 years agothis addon is great but it rarely works!
the settings is buggy, I had to choose the options like 3 times before it actually worked, but then after all the that i open new tab and its empty only settings button and thats it.
i don't know whats the issue but I hope it can be fixed because I really like the idea of this addon - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14643407, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14597288, 7 years agoThis is my most favourite new tab add-on! It gives me direct access to closed tabs, bookmarks, weather, and I can make the background black. This is perfect.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Eien, 7 years agoThank you for making such a usefull addon.
Fast, easy to use and very customisable.
Problem:
Unfortunately because Firefox does not currently have a built-in way to get favicons, they are retrieved through a web service (googleusercontent.com). Any icons that require the user to be signed in will not work properly because it is redirected to the login page. I'm not sure why the Google Maps icon doesn't work though. You can follow https://bugzil.la/1315616 for progress on this issue.
Is it possible to add custom icons to get around that problem?
