The new Firefox Sync makes it even easier to setup and add multiple devices while delivering end-to-end encryption.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7268\" alt=\"Sync-(en-US)\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2014\/03\/Sync-en-US-252x358.png\" width=\"252\" height=\"358\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve made it even easier to make Firefox your own with a new customization mode. To enter customization mode click the new \u201cMenu\u201d button and then click \u201cCustomize.\u201d From there, you can manually drag and drop your favorite feature, add-on or tool anywhere in the browser based on your preferences. This makes it faster and easier to access the features you use the most.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"docs-internal-guid-3fb4998a-e063-02cb-f656-508f0f897a20\" alt=\"https:\/\/bug971396.bugzilla.mozilla.org\/attachment.cgi?id=8386243\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/vd52LXKPqDREJ91kmE42LqZl0fCXQkNVrpJ7lOuy6F0r1QV6vPpqFJv2bkOv1HiLCYvSdJ6XnwGG9OaSM7VftUE3DiUEH6glC4xlayaHdbdYy7e4lVQ7SmfHIAQNhg\" width=\"624px;\" height=\"468px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The customization mode makes it easy for you to personalize every part of your browsing experience. In addition, the new menu panel includes all of your browser controls, favorite features and add-ons in one space. You can find familiar tools like copy\/paste, print, full page, save and more. When you download a new Firefox Add-on, you will be able to add its\u00a0 icon in the same new menu panel, giving add-ons a permanent place in your browser.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7269\" alt=\"Firefox-Menu-on-Windows-(en-US)\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2014\/03\/Firefox-Menu-on-Windows-en-US-600x454.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"454\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We redesigned the overall look and feel of Firefox to help you access your Web content quickly. We\u2019ve changed the tab structure and functionality in Firefox to enable you to focus on your Web content. Tabs have a more fluid and streamlined shape,\u00a0 sit higher up in the browser and tabs that are not in use have been visually de-emphasized. We\u2019ve also moved the bookmark manager next to the bookmark star in your Firefox toolbar to make it easy to save your favorite sites for one click access.<\/p>\n<p>Firefox is the trusted browser of choice for half a billion people worldwide and we are excited to bring the new Firefox to our audience of beta testers.
