In today\u2019s major release, Firefox sports a fresh new design that gets you where you\u2019re going online, fast and distraction-free. And since we\u2019re all about privacy, we\u2019re also expanding integrated privacy protections in Firefox, so you feel safe and free to be yourself online thanks to fewer eyes following you across the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The New Firefox Redesign\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/czEGwcZSYyo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s all happening starting today in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/browsers\/\">Firefox<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A sleek, clean Firefox design backed by research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Going into <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/en\/products\/firefox\/new-firefox-coming-june-1\/\">the Firefox redesign<\/a>, our team studied how people interact with the browser, observing their patterns and behaviors. We listened to feedback and gathered ideas from regular people who just want to have an easier experience on the web. We obsessed over distractions, extra clicks and wasted time. The resulting new design is simple, modern and fast and delivers a beautiful experience to support what people do most in Firefox.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bright and buoyant throughout<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The fresh new Firefox is easy on the eyes, bright and buoyant on screens of all sizes \u2014 computers, phones and tablets. A new icon set, crisp typography and thoughtful spacing throughout all reflect a modern aesthetic for 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Streamlined toolbar and menus<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The toolbar is naturally where you start every web visit. It\u2019s the place where you type a URL to go somewhere online. After web page content, it\u2019s what you look at most in Firefox. The new toolbar is simplified and clutter-free so you get to the good stuff effortlessly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Menus are where key Firefox actions and commands live. We\u2019ve consolidated extra menus to reduce clutter and be more intuitive through the three bars menu in the upper right or by right-clicking to activate it on your computer screen. The new look reorganized and streamlined our menus to put the best actions quickly at your fingertips.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When privacy protections are engaged in Firefox, the shield icon in the toolbar glows subtly indicating that we\u2019re working behind the scenes to protect you from nosy trackers. Fun fact: Firefox has blocked more than 6 trillion \u2014 that\u2019s <em>trillion<\/em> with a <em>T<\/em> \u2014&nbsp; trackers since we <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/en\/products\/firefox\/latest-firefox-brings-privacy-protections-front-and-center-letting-you-track-the-trackers\/\">rolled out enhanced tracking protection<\/a>, stopping thousands of companies from viewing your online activity.. We\u2019re talking about <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/en\/internet-culture\/mozilla-explains\/mozilla-explains-cookies-and-supercookies\/\">tracking cookies<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/en\/internet-culture\/mozilla-explains\/what-are-social-media-trackers\/\">social media trackers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/features\/block-fingerprinting\/\">fingerprinters<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/en\/products\/firefox\/block-cryptominers-with-firefox\/\">cryptominers<\/a> and more. Go ahead and click on the shield to see who and what Firefox is blocking\u2026 you might be surprised by what you find out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A new look for tabs<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on our research, we found out that more than half of you have 4+ tabs open all the time, and some of you have more, <em>a lot more<\/em>. And we feel that! Tab as much as you like, friends. Tabs got a makeover so they are now gently curved and float above the toolbar. It\u2019s an exciting change that also serves as a reminder that tabs aren\u2019t stationary. So grab those tabs, move them around and organize them as you like. Tabs also got a glow-up to be a touch brighter when active.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\ud83e\udd2b Shhhhhh\u2026. notifications&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No one likes to be interrupted when they\u2019re in the flow, but if you must be alerted to something, at least it can look good. We\u2019ve updated notifications and alerts of all kinds in Firefox to take up less space for less jarring interruptions. Plus, non-essential alerts and messages have been removed altogether. Media autoplay is turned off by default, so you won\u2019t be interrupted by a random video blasting unexpectedly. Spotting a noisy tab is easy, and unmuting\/muting takes just a quick click on the tab itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Expanded privacy protections<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mozilla makes it our mission to put your privacy and security first in the technology we develop. Our goal is for you to worry less every time you go online. The latest Firefox release comes to you with next-level security and privacy that you\u2019ve come to expect from us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The best private browsing mode out there<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All browsers have a private browsing mode, but none match Firefox. The popular <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/security\/2021\/02\/23\/total-cookie-protection\/\">Total Cookie Protection<\/a> moves from the optional <em>strict<\/em> setting to always-on in private browsing. This feature maintains a separate \u201ccookie jar\u201d for each website you visit while browsing privately. Any time a site deposits a cookie, Firefox locks it up in its own cookie jar so that it can\u2019t be shared with any other website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>An even better Firefox for iOS and Android<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fresh new look covers Firefox everywhere, from desktop browsers to Android and iOS mobile devices. The iOS experience is optimized for iPhone and iPad, with key actions now taking fewer steps for quicker searches, navigation and tab viewing. With refinements in iconography and menu names, the whole browsing experience is more cohesive and harmonious across every platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-background has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color is-style-solid-color\"><blockquote class=\"has-text-color has-white-color\"><p>\u201cWhat inspires us the most are the people that love and use Firefox.\u201d<\/p><cite>Firefox design team<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Backed by Mozilla, the non-profit that puts people first<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Firefox was created by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/\">Mozilla<\/a> as a faster, more private alternative to browsers like Internet Explorer, and now Chrome. Today, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/mission\/\">mission-driven<\/a> company and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/contribute\/\">volunteer community<\/a> continue to put your privacy above all else. Even as the internet grows and changes, Firefox continues to focus on your right to privacy \u2014 we call it the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/firefox\/privacy\/\">Personal Data Promise<\/a>: Take less. Keep it safe. No secrets. Your data, your web activity, your life online is protected with Firefox, on your computer, your phone and anywhere you use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Things are looking different in 2021<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re always excited when a new Firefox launches, and when it comes to this major redesign, we\u2019re even more stoked for you to experience it. If you left Firefox behind at some point, this modern approach \u2014 inside and out \u2014 is designed to win you back and <a href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.org\/kb\/make-firefox-your-default-browser\">make it your go-to browser<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep an eye out for the new look in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/browsers\/\">Firefox for desktop and mobile<\/a>, rolling out starting today.
