the width allowed for top sites titles is too narrow compared to typical page titles. social media sites that your circles use? street cred. it's something you show off to anyone looking over your shoulder. developing the top sites section over time is like raising a tamagtochi. and the titles sometimes get all out of sync somehow, so that's a problem on mobile, there's no way to see where each of the top sites goes. Bonus points if the feeds could be synced like Bookmarks or History. Oh, I should also add that since so many people want more news on the homepage, might I suggest RSS Feed integration instead of a Google Chrome style newsfeed? I would appreciate having the news sources I trust instead of algorithmically generated clickbait. On Mobile, I used to just use Top Sites and Collections, until I lost the ability to disable "most frequent sites". On Desktop, I prefer to keep at least the search bar and the logo, maybe some Top Sites if I want to pin at least one row of sites and don't want to fall back on the Bookmark Toolbar. Allowing extensions to override the new tab page like on Desktop would be lovely as well. I don't really have any gripes with the desktop new tab page, however I think the new tab page on Mobile could benefit from some additional options, such as displaying bookmarks or filtering out "most visited sites" from the Top Sites. I can choose how many shortcuts I want, I can choose whether or not I want Pocket Stories, I can reduce the entire thing just to a blank page if I want to, or even let an extension replace it for me.Īnd there's no manipulative news feeds like on Google or Edge. What I love most about Firefox's New Tab Page is that it's neatly organized and I can choose what appears on the page.
Maybe these features can be added to Mobile too! The user can also choose this background at his discretion. The user can enable or disable this features from the settings.īookmarks looks a little small at the top and also settings icon looks little in the upper right corner, it would be better if you could enlarge them. Also, an private icon can be added next to the settings icon in the upper right corner to easily enter the private tab! We can easily enter the private tab by clicking this icon in the new tab.Īnd of course the customizable background feature wouldn't be bad either, I think a nice background and a home tab would be better. A plain foreign currency and weather can also be added in the new tab and the option to customize them can be brought. I think this feature can be useful for other users who love news and are looking for news. According to these news, news articles may appear in the News as a suggestion. We can see news like and customize it according to what type you like. Thus, the user can access sports, life, regional news, politics, entertainment, etc. I think it would be good to add the News feature as in Chrome, Edge and Opera browsers.
So basically, If we're talking ambitious, a new tab could be a customizable and extensible dashboard, kinda like Microsoft Azure one, but with other kind of widgets: I also see cases with actions from extensions like Tab Stash (for example you could see the stashed tabs on the new tab). Others I've seen here want a bit of statistics from Firefox, some tips maybe, news feed, rss feed, etc.
Or a list of tabs opened on my phone with Firefox Mobile so that I have a more convenient way to continue work from my phone.
What I'd like to is the tab to be able to show more relevant actions, for example a short list of recently closed tabs so that I don't have to press ctrl+shift+t a dozen times to get back a certain tab just to close the others again (I'm lazy to open a library popup, then go to history, then to recently closed tabs). Of course, you can edit an existing item, but I already have bookmarks, why can't I pick one or drag one from there? Though it's not really easy to add there something you want - you kinda just wait for some link to appear there and move it in its place to pin it. I like that it's clean and a bit customizable (I made 3 rows of bookmarks there).
