Since Firefox 57 I had used a link from newtabtools to a page of another addon (BookmarksHome). This one I am using for even a longer time also in times before web extension API. This way I had advantages from both addons. Your addon I use on a daily basis (and still do), the second for other cases.

But now with Firefox 105 this stopped working. I asked on forum camp-firefox.de for a possible solution (in German). Sören Hentzschel, the administrator of this forum and himself addon developer, e.g. for the partly similar New Tab Override, answered:

The information about this necessary change was first forgotten to add to Firefox 105 for developers at MDN, but meanwhile it has subsequently been added.

It would be great if you could update your addon accordingly.

After conversation with a Firefox developer: Web developers have to adjust their addon – resources which are to be read by websites or other extensions must be declared in the web_accessible_resources.

There's nothing in my add-on for other extensions to link to, but a link to another add-on would require that add-on to mark stuff as accessible.

Yes, Sören told me, too, that I misunderstood his advice. Sorry for the noise.
