Now you don't have to sideload an .xpi, they've approved it. i'll release an update with a few more bugfixes and better implementation of some stuff this week but it's in a pretty much usable state right now, if you have any suggestions please let me know!

It looks slick and it's a good idea, congrats !
Here's what I have done so far:

Change the nt_bookmarks: it works, but I noticed that for my self hosted dockhand instance on the lan, it doesn't retrieve the favicon.ico. maybe because the URL is http://192.168.1.39:7878/ ? http://192.168.1.39:7878/favicon.ico displays the icon in firefox

Change the wallpapers: i guess you only limit to 3 so the newtab is not sluggish, I wish I could randomise from my wallpaper folder but maybe not possible due to how Firefox loads the picture for some reason ?

Next up: switch from Japanese to Cantonese

the application uses duckduckgo's favicon fetching service, if their servers can't reach the website it wont be able to fetch the icon. i added a field to add a custom url that points to a favicon tho, you could use that.

yes, wallpapers are stored in the browser storage so i needed to set a limit so the user wouldnt breack it by accident. also an addon cannot read content from a folder because of security issues, there may be some workaround like pointing to a server or something but it's a really fringe use case so not worth the development of such a feature. maybe i could consider expanding it 5 or something, i dont know how much it would slow down a machine, i have a really low spec one so im not the one to test.

i could definitelyu add chinese! could you open an issue on github about it? i would need to find a cantonese dictionary...
