Firefox’s new home page widgets are helping me focus

Firefox 的全新主页小组件助我提升专注力

The browser’s new tabs can have a built-in checklist and customizable focus timer. 这款浏览器的标签页现已支持内置清单和可自定义的专注计时器。

I launched Firefox this morning to find some new blocks on my home page. The widgets 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 Focus Friend open on my phone when I need a focus timer, and I use Google Tasks for my checklists. Now I can check in with similar tools every time I open a new Firefox tab instead. 今天早上打开 Firefox 时，我发现主页上多了一些新模块。目前正在推送的小组件包括体育比分、时区、专注计时器和待办清单，这些功能已成为我近年来最喜欢的 Firefox 新特性。过去我需要专注计时器时通常会打开手机上的 Focus Friend，并使用 Google Tasks 来管理清单。现在，每当我打开一个新的 Firefox 标签页，就能直接使用这些类似的工具了。

My phone’s homescreen is full of useful widgets, so it’s a nice addition to have the timer and checklist pop up on my browser — they add some extra functionality and blend in tools I was already using elsewhere. 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’s not distracting, but not so buried that I forget about it. 我的手机主屏幕上布满了各种实用小组件，因此能在浏览器中看到计时器和清单是一个很棒的补充——它们不仅增加了额外的功能，还整合了我原本在其他地方使用的工具。计时器的设计非常简洁，将其放在主页上对我来说是一种很好的平衡：既不会因为过于显眼而分散注意力，也不会因为藏得太深而被我遗忘。

You can add or remove any of the widgets from the home page customization tab, and there’s 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’s also an optional notification for when the timer ends. 你可以通过主页的自定义选项卡添加或移除任何小组件，并可以通过开关来展开它们。计时器预设为 25/5 的番茄工作法模式，即 25 分钟专注模式和 5 分钟休息模式，但你也可以自行调整这两个时间。此外，计时器结束时还提供可选的通知提醒。

The new widgets were mentioned in release notes as an improvement arriving between Firefox 151 and the recently released 152, and just this week, Mozilla launched a roadmap of other changes on the way, like the Project Nova redesign. 这些新小组件在发布说明中被提及，作为 Firefox 151 到近期发布的 152 版本之间的改进内容。就在本周，Mozilla 还发布了未来其他变更的路线图，例如“Project Nova”重新设计项目。
