When a new tab is selected (and showing your browser default new tab page, not Toby), clicking the Toby Mini extension button says “Toby is already open, nothing to see here!” This is incorrect if you have Toby Mini installed instead of Toby, and your new tab page is your browser default page. (I’m guessing Toby Mini thinks your new tab page is showing Toby, which is why you see that message.) So, there’s no way to open Toby Mini when you’re on a new tab. The only way to show Toby Mini is to navigate to a website first, which is a little inconvenient.
