About this extension
Essentials is a visual website launcher for Firefox. Keep your favorite sites in
a clean toolbar grid, organize them into color-coded spaces, and open or focus
the right tab with one click.

GET STARTED QUICKLY
A first-install guide shows how to pin Essentials to the toolbar, open the popup,
and add your first site. Existing installations continue without this welcome tab.

ORGANIZE WITH SPACES
Group your sites into color-coded spaces (Personal, Work, Side Project) and
switch between them with a keystroke. Each space has its own name, two-letter
label, and color.

FAST BY DESIGN
- A toolbar grid sized to your workflow, with the rows and columns you choose
- Keyboard shortcuts to toggle the popup, open sites, and switch spaces
- Add the current tab in one click, right-click any link to add it, or drag
tiles to reorder
- Click a tile to jump straight to that site's open tab, or open it fresh

SYNCS BETWEEN DESKTOP FIREFOX INSTALLATIONS
Sync is enabled by default, so your essentials follow you to desktop Firefox
installations using the same Mozilla account with Add-ons sync enabled in Firefox.
Turn sync off in Essentials Settings to keep saved sites, spaces, and layout
settings in this Firefox installation only. Firefox normally synchronizes
extension data about every ten minutes or when you choose Sync Now. The developer
does not receive your synced Essentials data.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
No extension analytics or telemetry, no tracking, and no separate Essentials
account to create. Essentials processes open-tab URLs and titles locally for
launcher features. Saved sites, spaces, and settings stay on your device and,
by default, in Firefox Sync tied to your Mozilla account.

To find favicons, Essentials may request the saved page, conventional same-origin
icon paths, and icon or manifest URLs supplied by Firefox or the website,
including their redirect destinations. Essentials does not use a
developer-selected generic third-party favicon lookup. No browsing or favicon
data is sent to the developer or any developer-operated service. Essentials
does not read the visible content of the pages you browse.

Your license key is sent directly to Polar when you activate and during periodic
license checks. The license key and activation date use Firefox Sync even when
saved-site sync is turned off.

ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION
Start with a 14-day free trial when you first open the popup, every feature
unlocked. Continue using Essentials with a one-time $4.99 purchase through Polar.
Enter your checkout license key in Settings > License; you can activate before
the trial ends. No subscription.
