Notes:
  1. Can/Should i trust this addon? You can view the source code by either visiting the Homepage/Support Site or just saving/downloading the XPI (which is really just a ZIP Archive) and then extract it locally. The Sources in the XPI should be unofuscated and unminified (HTML,CSS and JS), so it's as easy to read as possible. Alternatives you can also use the CRX Viewer Extension by Rob W to inspect the XPI sources. If you have an questions, you can also open an issue on the support site and i'll try and answer to the best of my abilities. If you are no programmer and are still feeling unsure, you might want to visit one of the official or unoffical mozilla communities and ask if someone there with more knowlege can take a look.

  2. Permissions: This add-on tries to use the minimal number of required permissions to successfully fullfill its intended purpose.

User reviews
The addon which has the functionality that, for whatever reason, Firefox doesn't have built-in. Everything is working as expected except that when adding about:home to the list, it ignores it and everything else that comes after. Other than that it is working great.
