Tridactyl has to override your new tab page due to WebExtension limitations. You can learn how to change it at the bottom of the page, otherwise please read on for some tips and tricks.
You can view the main help page by typing :help, and access the tutorial with :tutor.
You can view your current configuration with :viewconfig.
Upcoming userChrome.css changes: Mozilla is going to require a preference to be set to true from Firefox 68 to read userChrome. See this issue.
Tridactyl retreat 👀: 4 of the core Tridactyl developers met up in the real world to work on Tridactyl from 24th May - 1st June in the Peak District, UK. Donate using this link if you'd like to contribute to our travel, accommodation and subsistence costs, which costed about £2,300. As of June 15th, we have so far raised ~£900, so thanks to all of you who have donated.
If Tridactyl breaks a website or is broken by a website, trying the steps in the troubleshooting guide might help.
You can contact the developers, other users and contributors for support or whatever on Matrix, Gitter, or IRC.
If you're enjoying Tridactyl (or not), please leave a review on addons.mozilla.org.

You will now be warned when adding a binding that is shadowed by other bind (#1309)
x is bound to stop, you will now be warned when you bind something to xxThe new tab page now begs for donations to fund our coding-retreat (#1373)
ex.deselect_completion ex-mode command added (#1393)

New features
Find mode is back, but still doesn't support incsearch. See help find for details on how to bind it if you value muscle-memory over stability :)
rssexec added with completions to help you find RSS feeds that exist on the current page. By default, it executes yank, but this can be changed with rsscmd to interface with your favourite feed reader, e.g, set rsscmd ! echo %u >> ~/.newsbeuter/urls.

Ctrl-6 is now bound to buffer # in all the modes it claims to be bound in.
guiset no longer fiddles with titlebar as this breaks quite a lot of Firefox. You might need to delete / fix your own userChrome.css manually.
Under the hood
The native messenger should now give more useful errors (#1287)
We do slightly fewer mad things with promises (#1262)
We remember to use our nice little vanity wrappers on ugly messaging more often (#1257)

We're working with Firefox on improvements to the WebExtension APIs that will remove this restriction.
:set newtab [URL]:set newtab about:blankAlso, if you want to use a new tab page provided by another extension, make sure to install said extension after Tridactyl. Uninstalling and re-installing the other extension should work too.
Alternatively, if you don't need Tridactyl to work on the new tab page, you can install the beta build without new tab page. You can get it here. To migrate your configuration across builds, see this comment or this issue.
