Widget with stocks and other financial assets

[RobertJames]

I saw Firefox added the option for widgets, which I really liked. I believe it would be really useful for those of us who follow the financial market, if there was a widget with daily variations of financial assets, or something similar.

There's now a stocks widget added, but not much usable, i.e., `Search ticker symbols` doesn't do a thing:

This would be a really useful addition to Firefox, especially if the widget could support a customizable watchlist for stocks, indices, ETFs, and other financial assets.

It could be particularly valuable for finance and accounting professionals, including cma learners , who regularly follow market trends and financial data as part of their professional development. Having quick access to current prices, daily changes, and percentage movements would make it easier to connect financial learning with real-world market activity.

A lightweight, privacy-focused implementation with reliable ticker search and customizable assets would make this feature even more useful. I’d definitely like to see something like this in Firefox.
