Taskade Firefox Extension

Updated 2026-09-02·3 min read

Overview

The Taskade Firefox Extension replaces your New Tab page. Your projects and ideas stay one tab away. Set Taskade to open in a new browser tab. Use the Web Clipper to capture content from the web.

TL;DR: The Taskade Firefox extension puts your projects one tab away. Install it from Firefox Add-Ons, then set what your new tab opens to, like your last project, dashboard, a new project, or the Calendar. Use the built-in Web Clipper to save any highlighted text or page straight into a project.

💡 Note: All browser extensions support Markdown syntax. Visit Markdown Support to learn about all the other ways you can use Markdown in Taskade.


Add the Extension

  1. Go to the Firefox Add-Ons and click ➕ Add to Firefox.
  2. Confirm the installation in the pop-up prompt.
  3. Set Firefox to open Taskade in a new tab.
  4. And that is it! 🥳

Note: If other extensions change tab behavior, reinstall the Taskade extension in a different order to restore compatibility.

Tips

  • Pin the extension: Click the puzzle-piece icon in Firefox's toolbar. Then click the gear icon next to Taskade and select Pin to Toolbar. The extension stays visible.
  • Use the Web Clipper: Right-click any highlighted text or page and select Add to Taskade to clip content directly into a project. Learn more in the Web Clipper guide.
  • Extension conflicts: If another extension overrides your new-tab page, disable that extension. You can also reinstall Taskade last, so that Taskade takes priority.
  • Keyboard shortcut: Firefox lets you assign custom shortcuts to extensions via about:addons → gear icon → Manage Extension Shortcuts.

💡 Tip: Use the browser extension alongside Taskade Genesis to capture ideas and build AI-powered workflows from anywhere.
