I'd just like my default start/home/new tab page to be my bookmarks. Not my recent bookmarks, not my most visited, not ads. Just a simple scrollable list of my bookmarks and folders.

View on HN

me too! so i wrote this extension:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/yet-another-s...

its oepn source, and feedback always appreciated!

I would like to see it but the link doesn't work and the name is truncated!

>Oops! We can’t find that page

Link seems wrong.

Likely this one : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/yet-another-s...

You can set home to

    chrome://browser/content/places/places.xhtml

Unfortunately changing new tab to a custom page is no longer possible.

Was looking for how to do this when I switched back to FF from Chrome! Seems there's also these in that folder:

    chrome://browser/content/places/bookmarksSidebar.xhtml
    chrome://browser/content/places/historySidebar.xhtml

I ended up writing my own newtab page that lists selected bookmarks folders by recent. https://github.com/Zren/NewTabRecentBookmarks
