New Tab Enhanced

An enhanced new tab experience, for Firefox 54+

This addon will transform Firefox's new tab page into a notebook, links to weather and search, and a listing of top sites.

Notes:

  • Top sites will be the same as those loaded in about:newtab. Pinned sites on that page will be respectively pinned on this extension's page.

  • Bookmarks will be the same as those In the bookmarks toolbar. (may use dedicated folder with the 2.0 release)

  • Weather links to DuckDuckGo's Weather Instant Answer feature, which uses Dark Sky as its source. It should show local weather based on your IP address, but location is configurable through the options page.

Weather links to Dark Sky via DuckDuckGo

Search links to DuckDuckGo, a search engine that doesn't track you.

Persistant notes on Chrome made possible with some code from Sweenzor's "New Tab Notepad"
