Firefox's widgets let you manage task lists, stay focused with a timer, check the weather and more - 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
• Weather Forecast

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

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

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

Get started with Firefox widgets

There are three widgets available globally:

• 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 before you plan your day.

Stay focused with the Timer widget

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

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

Organize your tasks with the Task Lists widget

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

   

3. Click + 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
• Meeting agenda items

Get accurate weather for your location with the weather widget

1. Click on the three-dot icon that appears hovering the widget.
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.

If you have other Widgets enabled through Firefox Labs, experiments, or regional rollouts, you will see an additional option in the weather widget to Change size.

Updating to Medium or Large will place an expanded Weather widget, showing a short-term forecast, into the widget row.
