Nighttab: [Feature request] Option to set the extension as the browsers homepage (not just new tab)

[davenicoll]

Every time I install the extension, I inspect the page load response and obtain the extension URL to index.html so that I can copy and paste it into the browsers Homepage field. It'd be great if there was an option to set this automatically, or at the very least show the extension URL somewhere within the extension so that I could get it from there more easily. Thanks!

Are you using Firefox? If so have you followed the instructions on the readme about Firefox homepage settings?

Nevertheless, it would be great to have a button to copy the URL to be only shown for Firefox users.

I'm not sure if many users have Github or will come searching through here to find a fix, though this has been brought up a few times before:

I hadn't, no - but thanks for that. As @Excigma pointed out, I don't think most users will visit that. A link or button would be nice.

It would, however I'm not sure how to show some controls just for Firefox and hide them for Chrome. I could add some instruction and a link to the Firefox section on the Readme file as that's the simplest solution I can think of.

Wow, it really does.

I'm not sure if you can check if navigator.userAgent.search("Firefox") returns something higher than -1

Tested, that does indeed work. I'll see what I can do with it.

The top answer on this question seems to be a good way to detect Firefox:

var isFirefox = typeof InstallTrigger !== 'undefined'

Planning to include the instructions in a Firefox specific menu tab:
