I don't hate it, but the other options in the screenshot makes it seem like they're going for parity with Edge in terms of new tab customizability. I love my Firefox but over the long history of the project I feel like they've frequently chased the wrong trends.

Personally I always use the blank new tab page, so I bet this won't even work for me. ๐Ÿ™

Same. I don't need anything on a new tab page, I just need to search in the URL bar. Maybe there'd be value if I could use the "tabs on other devices" thing as my new tab page.

about:firefoxview#syncedtabs takes you there if you have a way to set it as new tab.

Dang, it's not a quick setting in the UI, and using an extension didn't seem to work properly.

Maybe I'll raise that as a feature request, I think others may prefer that to having the separate "view" tab (ctrl/cmd + T is pretty convenient).

I didn't know this was a thing! Thank you.

Yeah, that would be handy. Good call.
