Executive assistants coordinate across executives, teams, and external contacts — most of which involves a browser. Here are Firefox extensions that reduce administrative friction.
News and briefing material
News Widget Dashboard — RSS feeds from sources your executive follows.
Executive assistants often prepare morning briefings. RSS feeds from relevant industry publications, company news, and economic indicators put briefing-worthy content on the new tab, reducing the time to assemble daily digests.
Communication writing
AI Writing Assistant — grammar checking for executive communications, travel arrangements, and meeting follow-ups that runs locally.
Executive communications often contain sensitive business information. Local grammar checking keeps the content private.
Managing research for multiple executives
Tab Manager — save named sets of research tabs per executive or project.
A board meeting preparation might require: board materials, executive biographies, previous meeting minutes, agenda research, and venue information. Tab Manager saves this context per meeting.
Daily scheduling and task priorities
Daily Planner — today's priority administrative tasks on the new tab. "Confirm travel for Executive A," "Book conference room for 3pm," "Send board pre-read materials."
Capturing notes from executive calls
Voice Notes — quick voice capture after calls where you are taking instructions. Speaking back the action items immediately after a call ensures accuracy before writing them into the calendar or task system.
Market data for finance-focused executives
Stock Market Dashboard — if your executive monitors specific companies (competitors, partners, portfolio), their stock performance on the new tab provides quick context before meetings.
These are part of a series of 11 Firefox extensions I built — see the full series.
