Change new tabs page

Hello! I'm trying to change my new tab page to home page, I tried New Tab Homepage and My Homepage but they don't work. I also can't install New Tab Override. I'm using firefox-trunk (Nightly) 63.0a1 (2018-08-09) (64-bit) on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Also I don't want to use Firefox Stable because he's more greedy than Nightly, I don't know why or if when I test Firefox Stable I have more tabs but when I use Nightly, it's better than Stable for this

You can't set the new tab page to a local file or about page when you use an extension. You can only use internet pages (http: or https:).

So when you start up Firefox you have your homepage come up is what you want is that correct or the 2nd tab to open you want a copy of your homepage ? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-set-the-home-page

If you want the 2nd tab to open to another URL put a Vertical Line ( | ) in at the end of the 1st URL and then the next URL and 2 tabs will open at start up.

Not to sure what your trying to accomplish here...

I hope that you use separate profiles for each Firefox version. If you didn't do this then you should create a new profile at least for Nightly.

You posted with a Firefox 60 user agent. Is that Firefox 60.1.0 ESR?

The New Tab Override extension works for me in Nightly.

Do you see on "Options/Preferences -> Home" that the NTO extension wants to override the new tab page?

My real user agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0 But I use chameleon to spoof it. I can't install New Tab Override https://i.imgur.com/CHk739C.png Also I don't think it's ESR because I installed it with `sudo apt-get install firefox-trunk` if I remember well. I don't know what are the profile, I will check this. Pkanswer, I want to see my homepage instead of a blank page when I open a new tab

The profile don't change anything

And I said my user agent is Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0 but it's false. I don't know my user agent and I don't think it's useful

Probably a very dumb question, but why don't you just press Ctrl + the Home icon  ?

Hmm it's a little boring but why not. If you have another solutions you always can say that but I will use this as temporally solution or more if I need

And also, It's weird that I can't install New Tab Override, I have a good version (<61)

I just went over everything it says under 'About this extension' and I can't find anything there that might shine a light on it .....

Maybe you could post a question here :

https://github.com/cadeyrn/newtaboverride/issues

It is best not to spoof the user agent when you try to install an extension as this might confuse the Addons website.

With my real User Agent, Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0, I have the same message (on Firefox Stable 62) :/

In fact, New Tab Homepage works but not with a local file :/

If you want to be a Nightly channel Tester then you should use the official Nightly channel builds from Mozilla and not third-party packages that may introduce their own issues on top of any issues occurring due to being a work in progress. The Nightly channel is more for Testers and Devs as it gets checkins and updates twice a day and issues can occur until fixed, finished or reverted.

https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/all/

And if you want to be a Nightly channel tester then a place to check out is the Builds threads in http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=23 as some Tester hang out there and threads make it easy to see the changes.

So I can use localhost, I think I will make a web server on my PC. I know it's overkill but if it's the only solution ...
