Tab groups arrives on Android
You’ve been calling out for tab group functionality on Firefox mobile and now Tab Groups have officially arrived on Firefox for Android! Tab Groups make it easier to organize related tabs into color-coded groups for work, travel, shopping, research, or whatever you’re browsing. Give it a try, and if you have ideas for how it could be even better, let us know on Mozilla Connect.
From the Reddit Community
Mozilla recently shared new independent research examining how browser choice is shaped by the design of operating systems. The report explores the obstacles users can encounter when downloading, setting, or continuing to use their preferred browser, and argues that people should be able to choose their browser without unnecessary friction. Read the report, join the discussion, and share your perspective!
And of course, thanks to you for choosing Firefox!
Community spotlight
Every contributor starts somewhere. In a recent blog post, Ananya Shree Sharma reflects on her journey through the Outreachy internship with Firefox. From navigating a large open source codebase for the first time to collaborating with mentors, learning new skills, and shipping meaningful improvements. Her story is a reminder that open source is as much about learning, mentorship, and community as it is about writing code. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to contribute to Firefox, Ananya’s reflections offer an inspiring look at the experience and the people who make it possible.
