[bug] In Firefox, tab in new window is default tab, not Tabby Cat tab #5

Closed quenz closed 7 years ago

quenz commented 7 years ago

When you open a new window in Firefox, the tab in it is a default Firefox tab, rather than a Tabby Cat tab.

I agree that this should be the default behavior, but Firefox regards the new window screen as different from the new tab screen. No worries, though! You can change this in your preferences...

How to make Tabby Cat your home page

  1. Go to your Preferences by clicking Firefox > Preferences or by entering about:preferences in the URL bar.
  2. Find the Startup preferences, and select the following options:
    • In When Firefox starts select "Show your home page"
    • In Home page, enter moz-extension://b6960614-761b-434a-bbce-7774cbfb7d6d/public/index.html.
      • If that doesn't work, try opening a new tab and copying/pasting exactly what's in your URL bar when Tabby Cat opens.

Your preferences should look like this:

Then open a new window and confirm that it's working. If not, let me know and I'll try and help!

This workaround does work, though the extension address seems to be different per user, or something, and it's a bit tricky to get hold of. If possible, you should make it so that this all works by default, though I understand if that might not be possible with how Firefox works currently.
