Firefox for Android is also now getting the new icons and other Proton stylings to bring it in line with Firefox on desktop. While some were disappointed that Mozilla scaled back extension support, Firefox for Android still supports more extensions than basically every other mobile browser. Speaking of Android, Firefox for Android recently underwent a significant overhaul both visually and under-the-hood. For the iOS version of the browser, not much has changed save for some new icons that adopt the Proton styling, a new tab strip for iPad that mimics the look of Firefox on desktop and a few other small changes that make Firefox for iOS most visually consistent with its Android and desktop counterparts. Some of the changes coming to Firefox with Proton are also showing up in Firefox on mobile. It also completely revamps how the tab bar looks, refreshes the menu, adds rounded corners to elements like add-ons and more.Īt first glance, some of the changes may not seem like much, but as someone who has used Firefox on-and-off for years, I really appreciate the more modern look and feel of the browser’s redesign.
Generally, the design cleans up the look of Firefox and streamlines different aspects of the user interface (UI). Another gives a glimpse at some of the ideas and processes that went into the design. One cycles through some previous versions of Firefox, but doesn’t actually show the new design.
Mozilla has shared a couple of videos about the upcoming changes. Dubbed ‘Proton,’ the new look has been in testing for a while now - I’ve been running Firefox Nightly for the last few months to follow the development - but in June, things will start looking different for everyone. On June 1st, Mozilla will roll out a whole new look for its Firefox browser.
