At this point we ask ourselves if we might not migrate our users to another browser (which represents around 100 000 users) if the bug is not quickly solved and it might be the same for the millions of users that uses newtab extension on firefox. Nobody could use a newtab extension in this condition, and everybody will disable it or migrate to another browser. As a creator of a newtab extension, I think it is a very urgent and important situation that will kill the work and efforts of hundreds of people that work for Firefox to create nice newtab extensions and might lead to millions of unhappy Firefox users.ġ- There is a major bug in the version 55 of Firefox : when a user open a newtab, the user has first to select the content in the URL adress bar before to start a search. I also posted this message in that thread that is linked. My name is Marc, I m saying things that have been already said in this discussion. Hm… for me the cursor is always at the *beginning* of the url, not at the end. The URL is filled in the extension's raw address, and the cursor is at Of course, an empty url bar would be better but more important is that users can immediately start typing so it would be good enough for me to implement this workaround now and implement a better solution at at later point. I guess it's already too late for Firefox 55 but I still hope for a fix in Firefox 56. So it would be great to support the "open a new tab and start typing" use case as soon as possible. > url, so that " then just start typing" could work again…Ĭould you please implement at least this workaround soon? It's really needed for all new tab extensions and if you add all user numbers these add-ons have a lot of users. > As a temporary fix, would we accept a patch that selected the moz-extension (In reply to Blake Winton (:bwinton) (:☕️) from comment #4) I will need to check the copy for that dialog, and I can mock it up in our design, if needed. (In our case we could anchor this doorhanger off of the Firefox menu if the extension does not have a toolbar button.) (See attachment.) If the user does not act on it, this doorhanger will be shown again on the next encounter of that page after a restart. To ask for confirmation, they open a doorhanger off of the extensions toolbar button. This would be acceptable if we have the user confirm that they really want this override, like Chrome does.Ĭhrome applies the override, but asks the user to confirm it the first time they see it. > My ideal world is that the identity dialog is populate and the URL bar is > Also I'll note that the identity dialog isn't populated (I'll file a > about:newtab and about:home the URL bar is populated with the moz-extension > Normally when you open a new tab the URL bar is focused. > I see the problem here and agree we should try and do something here.
