Introducing the fresh, new Firefox Web Browser!

Mozilla, on Tuesday, June 2nd, launched a redesign for the Firefox Web Browser. The Verge, which first gave the report, has said that one of the changes users might first take note of is the new tab design. 

In the announcement, the software company shared that the tabs have been redesigned so that they floated neatly. Part of the added features were the visual indicators, like blocking autoplay videos until you’re ready to visit that tab. The tab was detached from the browser to invite you to move, rearrange and pull out tabs into a new window to suit your flow, and organize them so they’re easier for you to find. Firefox tabs are now bigger than they used to be, and the one that is in focus will float above the toolbar near the top of the browser. In Chrome or Safari, by contrast, the tab that’s in focus looks like it is attached directly to the toolbar. 

This screenshot gives you a better idea of what the new tabs look like.

The software company said that the new Firefox’s browser is designed to streamline and calm things down for its users so they have a fresh new web experience.

Built in to save time, it helps to make web pages load faster and use less memory. “… a ton of thought has been put into the flow. 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,” said, the announcer. 

To keep things simple and make its users focused, the new design has 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. 

3) Frequently Used Settings – reader mode, zoom level and bookmark.
