This round of updates is the result of requests we received straight from our users, and we\u2019re taking your feedback to make this version of iOS work harder and smarter for you.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind, in the latest update of Firefox for iOS we overhauled both the Settings and Menu options to more closely mirror the desktop application. Now you can access bookmarks, history, Reading List and downloads in the \u201cLibrary\u201d menu item.<\/p>\n<h3>Private Browsing &#8211; Keep browsing like nobody\u2019s watching<\/h3>\n<p>Private browsing tabs can now live across sessions, meaning, if you open a private browsing tab and then exit the app, Firefox will automatically launch in private browsing the next time you open the app. Keeping your private browsing preferences seamless is just another way we\u2019re making it simple and easy to give you back control of the privacy of your online experience.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12001\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12001\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-12001 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/FxiOS_15_Private.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"650\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12001\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Private browsing tabs can now live across sessions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Organize your New Tabs (like a pro)<\/h3>\n<p>Today\u2019s release also includes a few different options for New Tabs organization.
