Firefox's widgets let you manage task lists, stay focused with a timer, and check the weather — all from your New Tab page. You can use and customize multiple widgets at once to match your daily routine and particular needs.

Widgets gathering feedback

• Lists
• Timer

As of Firefox version 143, we are experimenting with small segments of Firefox desktop and gradually releasing these widgets in certain markets.

Feedback is welcome and is being gathered in this Connect post.

There are certain limitations because of the early nature of the features to be aware of:

1. Up to 10 lists can be created.
2. Each list may have up to 100 items.
3. There is no sync or backup of the lists - we do offer a “Copy to clipboard” for each to provide easy backup and sharing.
4. Display and treatment of long URLs or shortened URLs may not be supported.

Get started with Firefox widgets

There are three widgets available for now:

• Lists
• Timer
• Weather

You’ll find the lists and timer widgets in the center of the new tab page, between Shortcuts and Recommended Stories (where Stories are available). The Weather widget appears in the top-right corner, in countries where it is available.

Customize your new tab widgets

You can use one or all of the widgets together to improve your workflow. For example, combine lists and the timer to focus on specific tasks, or check the weather widget before planning your day.

Organize your tasks with the task lists widget

1. Click on the three-dot icon on the task widget.
2. Select Edit list name to rename your list.

   

3. Click on + Add an item, and add tasks to your list.

   

4. Click the checkbox next to any task to mark it complete.

You can add, edit, re-order, and delete items, as needed. These lists are flexible and they fit a variety of activities, such as:

• To-do lists
• Checklists
• Shopping lists (grocery, etc.)
• Meeting agenda items

Stay focused with the timer widget

1. Go to the timer area, and type your time (for example, 25:00).
2. Click on Play to start the timer.
3. Use Pause or Reset to control it.

   

The timer widget allows you to set timers for focus sessions, breaks, or any timed activity.

Get accurate weather for your location with the weather widget

1. Click on the three-dot icon .
2. Select Change location.
3. Enter your city/region and select it.
4. Choose your preferred temperature unit (Celsius or Fahrenheit).

   

You’ll see current conditions and daily temperature details for your selected location.
