When this setting is enabled users can apply one of six images as the new tab background from the new tab settings panel: <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/149366088.v2.pressablecdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/firefox-new-tab-wallpaper.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Firefox 126 beta: new tab wallpapers<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>Mozilla, for now, is \u201ccurating\u201d the choice of background images. This may be to ensure that background images don\u2019t affect the readability\/legibility of the \u201cshortcuts\u201d, \u201crecommended stories\u201d and \u201crecent activity\u201d new tab page elements.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>What\u2019s interesting is that the choice if images change depending on whether light mode or dark mode is active on the host OS, with the latter offering a different set of images, albeit thematically similar to the ones in light mode:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/149366088.v2.pressablecdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/firefox-new-tab-wallpaper-dark-mode-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Firefox 126 beta: dark mode wallpaper selection<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>If you use the Firefox beta channel you can try this feature out (in v126) like so:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Go to<\/strong> <code>about:config<\/code> <strong>in a new tab<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Find<\/strong> <code>browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabWallpapers.enabled<\/code><\/li>\n<li><strong>Double-click the switch to set it to true<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><p>Now when you open the new tab page you can click the settings cog to access the wallpaper options. Click on an image to apply it as your new tab background. To undo, click the \u2018reset to default\u2019 link beneath the wallpaper picker.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><h2>When will this land?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>It\u2019s not clear if this feature will be be enabled in the stable Firefox 126 release, due in the middle of May or, if not, whether the above setting will remain accessible for those who want to turn it on to do so \u2014 but such is the nature of development.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>This feature has not been enabled by default in the beta yet, indicating that Mozilla believes it&#8217;s not prepared for general testing. It&#8217;s apparent that toggling between light mode and dark mode in Ubuntu resets the new tab page&#8217;s wallpaper in Firefox \u2013 could this be a glitch to be ironed out?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>The &#8220;new tab&#8221; page of their browser is viewed more by most individuals than their computer&#8217;s desktop. As a result, providing an option to display their preferred image(s) would be a beneficial feature.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>We hope that this feature will be expanded in a future release, preferably to include custom background images. Users are offered a hand-picked collection of artwork and the ability to set their own background image by Google Chrome.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Nonetheless, this is something to anticipate.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p><em>via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soeren-hentzschel.at\/firefox\/firefox-126-laesst-hintergrundbild-fuer-firefox-startseite-setzen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">soeren-hentzschel<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mozilla Firefox is working on new customization options, including the ability to set a background image on the new tab page.
