I can't figure out how to set firefox to use a html file as the new tab.

You need to host it online (github preview/ netlify are two good free options) thn add the website as homepage using settings>home & for new tabs you need to use new tab override extension.. maybe there's other ways but I only know this one apparently 😿

I just downloaded the repo locally and set the homepage to the local file url, but it doesn't work with the new tab override extension. Guess hosting is the only way for a new tab

Personally, I just keep it as my homepage and have links open in new tabs. Tilde is always my first tab so I can easily get to it with command + 1 on macOS.

You could always create an extension for it, extensions have a manifest.json where they declare to the browser what kind of areas they want to use such as the new tab area.

See mozilla's web-ext for more information.
