Firefox for iOS update includes tab and private browsing improvements

If you’re a Firefox user on iOS, we’ve got some good news for you..

Firefox for iOS has shared the advantages of its latest update. Now you will be able to better organise your tabs; a big relief for many! Not only that, you can also feel like nobody is watching too!

The news comes following a blog post on the website of Firefox creators, Mozilla. Written by senior product manager, Maria Popova, the post was shared on Valentine’s Day.

“Today we’re rolling out updated features for iPhone and iPad users,” Popova wrote. “Including a new layout for menu and settings, persistent Private Browsing tabs and new organisation options within the New Tabs feature.

“This round of updates is the result of requests we received straight from our users, and we’re taking your feedback to make this version of iOS work harder and smarter for you.”

Popova added that the team overhauled both the Settings and Menu options to more closely mirror the desktop application. This means users can now access bookmarks, history, Reading List and downloads in the ‘Library’.

More details Firefox for IOS users should know

Private Browsing will make sure that you can ‘keep browsing like nobody’s watching. Tabs can now live across sessions. This means that if you open a private browsing tab and then exit, Firefox will automatically launch in private the next time you re-open it.

Popov adds that keeping private browsing preferences seamless is a big goal at Firefox. It aims to make it “simple and easy” to give users back “control” over the privacy of their online experience.

The February 14 release also included various new options for New Tabs organisation. Popov added: “You can now choose to have new tabs open with your bookmark list, in Firefox Home (with top sites and Pocket stories), with a list of recent history, a custom URL or in a blank page.

So, Firefox for iOS users will no doubt appreciate the new updates

“We’re also making it easier to customise Firefox Home with top sites and Pocket content. All tabs can now be rearranged by dragging a tab into the tab bar or tab tray.

“Whether it’s your personal data or how you organise your online experience, Firefox continues to bring more privacy and control to you. To get the latest version of Firefox for iOS, visit the App Store.”
