This feature allows users to save a backup of their Firefox data to their local device at regular intervals, and later use that backup to restore their browser data or migrate their browser to a new device. One of the use cases is for current Windows 10 users who may be migrating to a new Windows 11 device. The user can save their Firefox backup to OneDrive, and later after setting up their new device can then install Firefox and restore their browsing data from the backup saved in OneDrive.<\/p>\n
This is an alternative to using the sync functionality in combination with a Mozilla account.<\/p>\n
Settings Redesign<\/h3>\n
Coming up in future releases, the current settings menu is being re-organized and re-designed to be more user friendly and easier to understand. New strings will be rolling out with relative frequency, but they can\u2019t be viewed or tested in Beta or Nightly yet. If you encounter anything where you need additional context, please feel free to use the request context button in Pontoon or drop into our localization matrix channel<\/a> where you can get the latest updates and engage with your fellow localizers from around the world.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what\u2019s been going on in Firefox for Android land lately: you may have noticed strings landing for the Toolbar refresh, the tab tray layout, as well as for a homepage revamp. All of this is work is ongoing, so expect to see more strings landing soon!<\/p>\n On the Firefox for iOS side, there have been improvements to Search along with a revamp of the menu and tab tray. Ongoing work continues on the Translations feature integration, the homepage revamp, and the toolbar refresh.<\/p>\n More updates coming soon \u2014 stay tuned!<\/p>\n The team has been working on identifying and removing obsolete strings to minimize unnecessary translation effort especially the locales that are still catching on. Recently they removed an additional 160 or so strings.<\/p>\n To remain in production, a locale must have both projects at or above 80% completion. If only one project meets the threshold, neither will be enabled. This policy helps prevent users from unintentionally switching between their preferred language and English. Please review your locale to confirm both projects are localized and in good standing.<\/p>\n If a locale already in production falls below the threshold, the team will be notified. Each month, they will review the status of all locales and manually add or remove them from production as needed.<\/p>\n The Mozilla accounts team has been working on the ability to customize surfaces for the various projects that rely on Mozilla accounts for account management such as sync, Mozilla VPN, and others. This customization applies only to a predetermined set of pages (such as sign-in, authentication, etc.) and emails (sign-up confirmation, sign-in verification code, etc.)\u00a0 and is managed through a content management system. This CMS process bypasses the typical build process and as a result changes are shown in production within a very short time-frame (within minutes). Each customization requires an instance of a string, even if that value hasn\u2019t changed, so this can result in a large number of identical strings being created.<\/p>\n This project will be managed in a new \u201cMozilla accounts CMS\u201d project within Pontoon instead of the main \u201cMozilla accounts\u201d project. We are doing this for a couple reasons:<\/p>\n We\u2019ve recently updated our testing instructions for Firefox for Android<\/a> and for Firefox for iOS<\/a>! If you spot anything that could be improved, please file an issue<\/a> \u2014 we\u2019d love your feedback.<\/p>\n Image by Elio Qoshi<\/p><\/div>\n Want to learn more from your fellow contributors?
