JumpStart 0.5a5.5 0.5a5.5.1 has been released. Still waiting approval but can be installed from here.
This is mostly compatibility update for Firefox 14.
Fixes in 0.5a5.5.1:
URL bar clearing
New Features:
Added widescreen support. So far only 4:3 screen format has been supported. From this release 16:9 and 16:10 are also supported.
Notable fixes:
Firefox 13 added new tab feature that prevented New Tab JumpStart from showing. That is fixed now.
Fixed click on bookmarks. Firefox 14 broke bookmark toolbar feature, that has been fixed now.
Fixed middle click and ctrl+left click functionality.
Note:
This is replacing Firefox’s new tab feature. To restore it uninstall or disable the extension and it will restore the former configuration.

Text in adress field
Since I updated to 0.5a5.5 every time I open a new JumpStart tab the following text is displayed in the address field:
chrome://jumpstart/conte
That’s the adress I added in about:config as a workaround for the problem with FF 13. (http://code.google.com/p/new-
Can I somehow get rid of that text? I would like to have a blank adress field when I open a new tab.
good update
Nice update, good to see things working again.
I have a suggestion, related to what the previous commenter is talking about. When you ctrl-t and open a new tab, if you begin typing an address, it is appended to the end of what is already in the address bar. The desired behavior would be that you can ctrl-t, then type an address, then enter, and you go there!
So you can replicate this behavior if somehow the address bar text is highlighted after the ctrl-t step. This means that what is typed will replace the address bar text, instead of just being appended to the end.
Keep up the good work!
Text in address field fixed
Thanks for the feedback, I’ve fixed the text, will update the extension tonight.
