DevOps engineers and SREs live in dashboards, runbooks, and incident channels. Firefox extensions for this workflow:
Fast access to dashboards and runbooks
Speed Dial Hub — visual grid of your most-used dashboards: Grafana, PagerDuty, Datadog, your internal runbook, Kubernetes console, cloud provider console.
Faster than bookmarks — opens in the new tab. Add notes to slots for context ("Prod EKS — us-east-1").
Incident tracking and on-call tasks
Daily Planner — today's operational tasks: "Review overnight alerts," "Complete post-mortem doc," "Update monitoring thresholds."
Infrastructure news and CVE monitoring
News Widget Dashboard — RSS feeds for CVE feeds, vendor security advisories, and infra tech news.
Useful feeds: NVD (National Vulnerability Database), Kubernetes security blog, cloud provider security bulletins, Hacker News (hnrss.org/frontpage).
Saving context per incident or project
Tab Manager — save and restore tab sets per incident or infrastructure project.
An incident response might accumulate: runbook, Grafana dashboard, PagerDuty alert, Slack thread opened in browser, internal wiki. Tab Manager saves the full context for post-incident review.
Voice capture during incident calls
Voice Notes — quickly record a 30-second voice note during a live incident call: "root cause: config drift in region 2." Faster than typing in the moment.
On-call habit tracking
Habit Tracker — monthly check-ins for reliability practices: "wrote a runbook," "reviewed alert thresholds," "completed post-mortem," "did a game day."
All are from a series I built — see the full series.
