Black New Tab

Use a black page as your new tab page.
What is Black New Tab?
Black New Tab is a simple yet effective Firefox add-on that instantly changes your new tab page to a minimalistic black. However, it's worth noting that due to the existing Firefox Add-On functionalities, it doesn't shift your browser's focus to the Awesome Bar. This feature is likely to be included if and when it becomes technically feasible.

Add-on summary

Use a black page as your new tab page. Unfortunately, there is no way for Firefox add-ons to move the focus of your browser to the Awesome Bar. If it becomes possible, I'll be happy to update the add-on to make it happen.
