The <a href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.org\/en-US\/kb\/firefox-new-tab-widgets\">widgets<\/a> that are currently rolling out add sports scores, time zones, a focus timer, and a checklist, which are already some of my favorite new Firefox features in years. I usually have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/763021\/focus-friend-hank-green-app-store-ios-android\">Focus Friend<\/a> open on my phone when I need a focus timer, and I use Google Tasks for my checklists.

The timer is minimal, but having it on the home page is a good balance for me between having it out of sight so it\u2019s not distracting, but not so buried that I forget about it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">You can add or remove any of the widgets from the home page customization tab, and there\u2019s a toggle to expand them. The timer is preset to 25\/5 Pomodoro-style intervals, with a 25-minute focus mode and a 5-minute break mode, but you can adjust both. There\u2019s also an optional notification for when the timer ends.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The new widgets were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firefox.com\/en-US\/firefox\/151.0\/releasenotes\/\">mentioned in release notes<\/a> as an improvement arriving between Firefox 151 and the recently released 152, and just this week, Mozilla launched a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/935631\/firefox-project-nova-redesign\">roadmap<\/a> of other changes on the way, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/935631\/firefox-project-nova-redesign\">Project Nova<\/a> redesign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/952354\/firefox-home-page-widgets\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I launched Firefox this morning to find some new blocks on my home page.
