11 Firefox Extensions I Built: A Complete Guide

I have built and published 11 Firefox extensions on addons.mozilla.org. All are free, require no account, and store data locally. Here is a quick guide to all 11.


New Tab Replacements

These replace the Firefox new tab with a specific tool:

Weather and Clock Dashboard

Live weather and a clock. Set your location, see current temperature, conditions, and time on every new tab.
Install

Stock Market and Finance Dashboard

Your watchlist symbols with live prices. Enter your symbols (stocks, ETFs, indices, crypto) once; every new tab shows current price and day change.
Install

News Widget Dashboard

RSS feed reader on the new tab. Subscribe to any RSS feed; headlines appear in one place without opening individual sites.
Install

Daily Planner and To-Do List

Drag-and-drop task list. Add today's priorities; every new tab shows your task list.
Install

Habit Tracker New Tab

Monthly grid. Each row is a habit; each column is a day. Click to log completions.
Install

Speed Dial Hub

Visual grid of your most-used sites. Custom icons, organized groups.
Install

Quick Calculator and Unit Converter

Full calculator with unit conversion. Works offline.
Install


Browser-Wide Tools

These work across all browser tabs, not just the new tab:

NightOwl — Automatic Dark Mode

Applies dark mode to every website, auto-scheduled by your location's sunset and sunrise. No manual toggle.
Install

Voice Notes and Audio Recorder

One-click voice recorder in the toolbar. Click record, speak, download MP3. Local storage only.
Install

Tab Manager and Session Saver

Save and restore named sets of tabs. Context-switch between projects without keeping all tabs open.
Install

AI Writing Assistant

Grammar checking and text rewriting that runs locally. No text sent to external servers.
Install
