Feedback welcome for New Tab widgets, now available via Firefox Labs

[AmberMeryman]

Update as of December 8 - we are un-pausing this feature in Firefox Labs, as we've resolved an issue where Lists were disappearing. It's important they persist! 

Hi! I’m Amber from the Firefox team.

We’re testing a new idea: simple, built-in productivity widgets on your New Tab page. They’ll be there on every new tab to keep you on-task, or on a break. (Previously available in Nightly & Beta, they are now available in Firefox Labs in Release!)

This early experiment includes:
✅ Lists - jot down your reminders, errands, or priorities for your browsing activities
⏰ Focus Timer - track your study session, deep work research, or quiet break time

And everything stays local, is never shared with Mozilla, and it’s easy to turn on and off.

Feedback is welcome to inform our next steps! Would you like to see more widgets? Which ones? Notes, Quotes, fun ones or helpful ones? Sync for optional backup? Drop your thoughts below.

Hi! I'd like to see:
1. Lists as separate widgets in addition to the current implementation
2. Multiple timers as separate widgets in addition to the current implementation
3. Widget hooks, such as opening/closing a tab after a timer expires
4. Customizable timer notifications, so you can specify your own notification text
5. The ability to drag and drop widgets when using multiple widgets

The input field for tasks has only one short line, so, when I write something long, everything except the end fitting on the line is hidden. I suggest that the input field would expand in height to accomodate the full text of the task.

Hi,

Nice feature!! Can you add it to the mobile version?

I would need this to support CalDAV to use it at all.  Specifically to sync to an existing CalDAV server.

The timer doesn't work on Mac. It counts down just fine, but there's no sound or notification of any kind when it expires.

Love this idea, it's great to have a homepage that is useful and isn't full of adds an clickbait news

could it to be accessible on mobile as well so i can tick of items even when away from my pc

 I also would love a way to display multiple lists at the same time, and resize the widgets so that i can see all items of a larger list.

I know i can use separate app or website for this (like google keep notes) but it would be more convenient here and definitely more private than google.

Keep up the good work though, you guys are doing great 🙂
