Transform Firefox into the ultimate minimalist browser

Ever feel like the internet is always… yelling? From pop-up windows and ads that autoplay to the sheer size of the internet, a lot of things scream for our attention. This makes it difficult to get things done. Firefox has privacy at its core, making it a great choice for those who want to minimize online tracking. It’s also easy to customize and make your own.  Personally, as someone who does a lot of reading and research as Mozilla’s blog editor, a minimal browser helps me stay focused. Here’s how I configured Firefox into a di...[More]

Firefox tips and tricks for online shopping

My relationship with online shopping is ever evolving. It’s either a little too convenient, extremely gratifying or entirely too much fun. I’m an eBay hawk, a casual Amazon browser and a Sephora VIB member. I recently joined the team at Fakespot though, which changed the game for my online shopping habits. Suddenly, browsing these retailers became professional, not just personal. I now second guess a product with a poor product grade rating (more on that below) and am filled with glee at the sight of a Fakespot-approved Shopify site.  W...[More]

Firefox tips and tricks for creatives

On my way to the airport last week, my driver asked what I do for a living. “I’m a content creator,” I replied. “I’m the video lead at Mozilla.” “Wow, that sounds fun,” he said. It can be! But, like lots of other creative professions: It’s not as glamorous as it sounds. Between the emails, meetings, docs, slides, more emails, contracts, spreadsheets, more meetings… alas, our days are not filled with boundless artistry. Thankfully, Firefox has a ton of built-in features that save me time, so I can focus on my creativ...[More]
