Back when you were watching \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0\">Gangnam Style<\/a>\u201d on repeat, tablets were a lot less commonplace. With this release, our designers made sure tablet users have a great experience while they browse.<\/p>\n<p>Firefox will now detect whether you have clicked with a mouse or tapped with your finger and the menus will respond accordingly. This means the targets are bigger and easier to touch, which guarantees there\u2019s no problem for those of us with big hands. Easier to hit targets means fewer misclicks and less frustration. Reducing the time you lose making errors like misclicks and mistouches means you can go faster.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-389\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2017\/11\/Touch.gif\" alt=\"Touch menus\" width=\"940\" height=\"510\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In tablet mode on Windows 10, we added a dropdown in the customize menu to select between different density settings. This gives you the option to choose a compact Firefox menu or an expanded version that\u2019s touch friendly.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-390\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2017\/11\/UI-Density-Settings-Windows-10.png\" alt=\"Menu Density\" width=\"1380\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When you enter tablet mode on Windows 10 Firefox will automatically change the menu density making things touch-friendly. When you are outside of tablet mode we don\u2019t assume you want bigger menus just because you have a touch-capable screen. So now you can decide which menu density works best for you, while you watch \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kJQP7kiw5Fk\">Despacito<\/a>\u201d over and over (and over) again.
