Exciting updates are coming to Firefox on iOS! We’ve redesigned both the toolbar and the menu to give you a smoother, more intuitive browsing experience. This overhaul not only improves functionality but also enhances security and accessibility, making Firefox easier to use for everyone.

Here’s a quick look at the new toolbar features:

  • One-Tap New Tab: Start a new task without disrupting your current tab.
  • Faster Sharing: The share button is now conveniently placed on the toolbar.
  • Improved Navigation: Quickly move through tab history by long-pressing the back or forward arrows.
  • Enhanced Accessibility: Larger, easier-to-tap icon buttons, optimized for both right- and left-handed users.

Alongside the toolbar, we’re also revamping the menu. Here’s what’s new:

  • Better Organization: A streamlined menu with faster access to accounts, settings, and tools.
  • Intuitive Sub-Menus: Frequently used tools on the main menu, with additional features in sub-menus.
  • Clearer Layout: Grouped options and clearer labels for easier navigation.
  • Private Browsing Anytime: Quickly switch to private browsing and back again from the menu. 

This update is designed to make Firefox faster, smoother, and more accessible for all users.

Please note that this feature is already available in Firefox iOS Beta 133 as an experiment and it is still in development. You can join our Beta using Test Flight. We encourage you to try the feature and if you encounter any bugs or issues, we would love to hear from you. You can report bugs here.

looking good! Looks like the same menu as the new one that's in android's nightly, which is nice, consistency is important.
