Note! This addon was rewritten using WebExtensions and now compatible with FF57+. But this can also lead to some issues in Firefox 53-56 while the whole FF ecosystem in transition state now. If you are experiencing any issues you can downgrade or temporarily disable this extension until WebExtensions API will be stabilized.

Before installing - if you close last normal (non-pinned) tab then rightmost pinned tab is automatically activated. After installing - new tab will be created instead of showing pinned tab.

Works well in default configuration ("new tab page" is blank page), but stops working completely when switching "new tab page" to home page (the one I actually wanted when instlaling it)
