Top 5 Firefox features for tab maximalists

I am a tab maximalist. On any given day, you can find me with 50+ tabs open across multiple windows on Firefox. Having this many tabs open can seem chaotic, but rest assured there is a method to the madness. As a global product marketing manager at Mozilla, a large part of my job is to think critically about various inputs, synthesize and pass information from one team to another. Unsurprisingly, one of my guilty pleasures is being the first to provide a resource when in group conversation (e.g. a link to an insight or framework). These are ...[More]

Firefox tips and tricks for journalists

I’ve always loved journalism. When I was in high school a chemistry teacher once gently reprimanded me for reading a copy of The New York Times during class. When I told them I was more interested in the midterm elections than balancing equations, they said, “You’ll never get a job reading newspapers.” Fast forward to today and that’s… basically what I do as a recommendations editor for Mozilla. It’s my job to think hard about what makes great content and how we should deliver it to users across all our products, including Fire...[More]

Welcome to my AI-hosted dinner party

I just moved to Washington, D.C., and there’s been a lot on my plate. I’ve been trying to figure out if there are ways AI can help me navigate it all. One of the first tasks my family tormented me about was, “When can we come over for dinner?” The thought of planning and executing an entire dinner party right now? Terrifying. I could order takeout for all of us, but I enjoy cooking and hosting for people. But again, there’s been too much going on. This is when I became enamored with the idea of putting AI to the test and giving it a s...[More]
