The crossword updates daily with clues based on current news. Other widgets include a to-do list, timer, stock checker, world clock, and weather. All widgets are optional, resizable, and configurable. Users on Firefox 153+ can manually enable them via about:config before the official rollout. Mozilla has not announced a firm release date, but the feature is already documented on its support site. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
