Startpage Add-on for Firefox - Your Custom New Tab

'Startpage' is a Firefox add-on that allows you to customize your browser's new tab page. Key features include an easy customization menu, keyboard controls, a customizable search function, and an export/import function. You can tailor the design using simple CSS syntax, defining colors with hex color codes and square sizes in pixels, turning your start page into a hub of your favorite sites and tools. It's particularly useful for those who regularly switch between devices, as configurations can be exported and imported for seamless use.
