Essentials for Firefox is a browser extension that keeps the sites you use most in a toolbar popup grid, organized into spaces and synced between desktop Firefox installations through your Mozilla account. A one-time $4.99, with no subscription and no separate Essentials account to create.
Real keyboard shortcuts, a popup that opens fast, and a grid that stays out of your way. Everything is small on purpose.
A clean lattice of your essentials in your browser toolbar. Set rows and columns to whatever fits your brain. No folders to dig through.
Personal, Work, Side Project. Switch contexts with Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+9 and the popup follows.
Your essentials sync between desktop Firefox installations using the same Mozilla account. They are not sent to the developer.
Add the current tab with +, or right-click any link to add it. Reorder by dragging. Done.
Alt+1 to Alt+9 opens an essential. Ctrl/⌘+Shift+E toggles the popup. Configurable per space.
Tracks the system. Carefully tuned for both modes. No last-minute hacks.
No tutorial and no separate Essentials account. Install, click the icon, add your first site in a click.
One-time purchase, no subscription. Pin Essentials to your toolbar to keep it a click away.
Click the toolbar icon, hit + to add the current tab, or right-click any link and choose Add to Essentials.
Click an icon to open. Drag to reorder. Right-click to rename, recolor, or move to another space.
Arc and Zen put your key sites one tap away in an "Essentials" grid. Essentials brings that workflow to Firefox natively, and because Zen is built on Firefox, it installs right in Zen too.
Each space is its own independent grid with its own keyboard shortcuts. Cap your work tabs at the end of the day and switch with a keystroke.

Essentials uses Firefox Sync's extension storage through your Mozilla account. The developer cannot read it, and there is no separate Essentials login. Sync is enabled by default; turn it off in Settings to keep Essentials data in this Firefox installation only. Firefox normally synchronizes extension data about every ten minutes or when you choose Sync Now.
