Permissions

New Tab Override needs several permissions to work properly. Some permissions are mandatory, some are optional. To offer full transparency, this overview also lists "silent" permissions.

Mandatory permissions. New Tab Override will not work without the following permissions:

- access browser history

The permission to access the browser history is needed to prevent spammy "moz-extension://" entries in your browsing history every time you open a new tab. There is no way to prevent this without this permission.

- access browser tabs

The permission to access the browser tabs is needed so that New Tab Override can jump to the settings page if it’s already open in another tab when you click the button to open the extension’s settings.

- read and modify browser settings

The permission to read and modify browser settings is needed to change the position of new tabs and for the option to automatically use your home page as new tab page.

Optional permissions. These permissions are not needed to install and use New Tab Override:

- access data for www.soeren-hentzschel.at

The permission to access data for www.soeren-hentzschel.at is only needed if you enable the option to see the latest news about Mozilla as new tab page. If enabled, New Tab Override reads the feed of www.soeren-hentzschel.at to show you the latest news.

Silent permissions. New Tab Override requires additional permissions, but Firefox does not prompt requests for the following:

- menus

The menus permission is needed for providing an entry in the tools menu for accessing New Tab Override's settings.

- storage

The storage permission is needed so that New Tab Override can store settings such as your new tab page.

Compatibility

The extension requires at least Firefox 78. There is no support for older versions of Firefox.
