Do you find yourself gazing upon Firefox's default bland-and-boring 'New Tab' page far more often that you do the wonderful wallpaper you oh so carefully chose to decorate your Desktop with? If so, then this is the add-on for you!

How to use local files as wallpapers
Firefox currently does not allow WebExtensions to access
'file:///...'
URLs. However, until that becomes possible, New Tab Tweaker does support the following workaround:- Install HTTP File Server (HFS)
- Host your wallpaper directory on HFS.
- Add the following line to the wallpaper URLs textbox in New Tab Tweaker's options (without quotes):
'[list] http://localhost/[WP]/?tpl=list'
. Where'[WP]'
is the path to your wallpaper directory on HFS. If that directory contains sub-folders with images, replace'?tpl=list'
with'?tpl=list&folders-filter=&recursive'
instead.
[list]
tag at the front of the line tells New Tab Tweaker to treat the URL not as an image, but as a list of URLs to images. One will be selected randomly from among them. You can configure HFS to launch at system start for your convenience.Something's not working? Got a question and/or suggestion? Post it here.
