Weather and Clock Dashboard for Firefox: Live Weather on Your New Tab

Most people check weather the same way: open a weather app, wait for it to load, check the current temperature, close the app. That is 15-30 seconds for one piece of information.

Weather and Clock Dashboard for Firefox reduces this to opening a new tab.


What it does

The extension replaces the Firefox new tab with a weather dashboard and live clock. Current temperature, weather conditions, location, and time — all visible on the new tab, no interaction required.

Weather and Clock Dashboard — Firefox Add-ons


Setup

  1. Install the extension
  2. Open a new tab
  3. Grant location permission OR enter your city name
  4. Done

The extension fetches current weather and updates automatically. No account, no API key required.


What is displayed

  • Current temperature (Celsius or Fahrenheit, your choice)
  • Weather condition (clear, cloudy, rain, etc.)
  • Wind speed and direction
  • An analog or digital clock (configurable)
  • Location name

Practical uses

Morning weather check: Instead of opening a weather app, open a new tab. Temperature and conditions are there immediately.

Second monitor ambient display: Pin a tab with the weather dashboard on a second screen. Current weather is always visible without taking any action.

Before leaving: A quick new tab check replaces the weather app open.


Privacy

Your location is used only to fetch weather data. It is not stored on any server or shared with third parties. If you enter a city name instead of using GPS, no precise location is transmitted.
