So, we prioritized the content based on what people clicked on when they visited the menu.

Streamlined clutter-free menus: There are many ways to get to your preferences and settings, and we found that the two most popular ways were: 1) the hamburger menu – button on the far right with three equal horizontal lines – and 2) the right-click menu.

Our intent was to make it easier for people to focus on the frequently used items in this area and easily get to where they needed to go.

3) Frequently Used Settings – reader mode, zoom level and bookmark. We kept it simple and focused on these three key areas of the toolbar: 1) Navigation – back, forward and refresh 2) Address Bar – privacy shield (so you know your ambient information is always protected), security lock and where to type in your URL. In some ways this area serves as your car’s dashboard that you look at every time you get behind the wheel. Simplified unencumbered navigation:The first step to going anywhere online is the toolbar, just type in the URL and press return/enter, and you’re off.Here’s a quick and easy breakdown of what you’ll find:įor starters we’ve cleaned up the amount of things that demand your attention from prompts and notifications to actions in the menu bar. Today’s Firefox gets you where you want to go online We made these changes with you and your online habits in mind. Today’s desktop and mobile releases represent the intentional and thoughtful touches we made to give you a safe, calm, and useful experience online. Our users who have tried the new Firefox have said, “the fact that I was using a new web browser slipped into the background of my consciousness.” And that’s just what we were going for. But a ton of thought has been put into the flow. So if things just work, you don’t really think about it. We’re also on a mission to save you time, whether that’s by making pages load faster, using less memory, or by streamlining everyday use of the browser. We think the browser should be a piece of software you can rely on to have your back, pleasant to look at and working seamlessly with the web. We’re living in a frenetic time, where people are dealing with tough changes in our daily lives and hard to solve problems are popping up everywhere.

Now with today’s new Firefox release we’re also bringing you a modern new look designed to streamline and calm things down so you have a fresh new web experience every time you use Firefox. We’ve always had your back on privacy, and still do. We set out in 2021 to reimagine Firefox’s design to be fast, modern and inviting the first time you run it and every day after.
