What comes to mind when you think of Firefox? Is it our best-in-class privacy features and ad blocking capabilities? Our partnerships with Wrexham, NVIDIA or Mistral? Or maybe our adorable mascot Kit? If you’ve been following Firefox this year, you’ve seen us add new ways to get things done while giving you more choice over […]

We spend a lot of time browsing online. Whether you are researching for work, planning a trip, paying your bills, or scrolling through social media, your browser is there for it all. While all these tasks are very different in nature, a lot of people still tend to stick to the same window type for […]

When it’s Monday morning and you’re on the subway, in a coffee shop, or squeezing in a few email replies after your morning workout, your phone becomes your digital office. But every time you open your browser, you risk getting struck with any combination of distracting ads, auto-playing videos, and open tabs from the previous […]

The AI race is shifting. Again. Practically overnight, competition has expanded from “which AI model is best?” to a new high-stakes battle over which models people can access, through which products, and whether people have meaningful choice about AI at all. In response, Mozilla and Mistral today announced a partnership built on a shared idea: […]

People feel differently about AI, and here at Firefox, we think that is completely reasonable. Something else that is completely reasonable: deciding for yourself how and when you engage with AI features. For some of you, AI is part of your everyday life, whether you are using it to summarize a large amount of information, […]

There’s only so much room on your screen. Pop-ups, overlays, and ads can take over fast, getting between you and what you came to do. That’s where Ad Blocker for Firefox on iOS comes in: a built-in option that blocks many third-party ads and ad-related trackers before they load, helping reduce clutter and distractions while […]

Open or closed AI isn’t a fringe question anymore; it’s a live policy debate, with real consequences for who gets to build, audit, and compete in the AI ecosystem. But as that debate plays out in Washington, Brussels, and beyond, the harder questions are still very much up for discussion. What does meaningful openness actually […]

Gamers have asked for GeForce NOW support for years. Today, NVIDIA made it official, opening up GeForce RTX-powered play to Firefox on Windows. Firefox users can now stream more than 2,000 PC games from virtually anywhere, no downloads, installs, or hardware upgrades required, just a Windows PC and a browser. Gaming: one of the web’s […]

Firefox users were choosing Startpage long before today — to the tune of more than a billion searches a year, every one of them required some assembly: an extension, a manual setting, a workaround.  Today, starting with Firefox 154, that choice becomes as easy as head to the drop-down menu, hit ‘select,’ and start searching. […]

AI has changed how we browse. Full stop. The real question is whether AI leads to one browser experience for everyone, or gives people more ways to make the browser work for them.  Firefox was always built to give users an alternative to the status quo, and our approach with AI is no different. Much […]

Tabs pile up fast on mobile. Imagine you’re planning a summer barbecue, and you start by searching for the best rib recipe. Twenty minutes later, you’re 17 tabs deep: comparing marinades, debating side dishes, checking the weather, making a grocery list and adding songs to a playlist. None of those tabs are organized. They’re mixed […]

You’re planning a trip. Reading an article. Following a recipe. Then a question pops into your head. Sometimes it leads down a rabbit hole – with more searches, more tabs and plenty to explore. Other times, you just need a little context so you can get back to what you were doing. That’s why we’re […]

Today, we’re excited to announce the Preview of Containers in Firefox version 153, which lets you keep separate parts of your online life (work, shopping, personal, banking) logged into different accounts in the same browser window, but keeps your cookies and ad tracking isolated inside each container. This means that stuff you do in one […]

Two years ago Mozilla asked two leading experts on deceptive design, Dr. Harry Brignull and Cennydd Bowles, to look at how Microsoft was treating people who tried to use a different browser on Windows. Their report, Over The Edge, documented a pattern of design choices in Windows, Edge, and Bing that nudged, pressured, and at […]

Open source AI has crossed a threshold. For years the debate has centered around whether open models could ever compete with closed ones. This is no longer a debate we should be having. Today Mozilla is publishing its inaugural State of Open Source AI report, built on new analysis and a global survey of 950+ […]

We don’t put our name on much. So when we do, it means something. Starting with the 2026/27 season, Firefox is Wrexham AFC’s Official Web Browser Partner and front-of-kit sponsor on the men’s and women’s teams.  More than 160 years old and nearly lost for good, the football club was saved by the community that […]

Earlier this month, we officially stood up Mozilla.org: a new 501(c)(3) nonprofit created to steward the long term success of the Mozilla Project.  Over the last year or so, I’ve said a lot about how AI is reshaping the web — and how we need to simultaneously stand up for the open internet Mozilla helped build […]

If you’ve been running into endless CAPTCHAS or website login requests lately, you’re not imagining things.  Websites, facing a rising tide of abusive traffic from bots, are adopting increasingly aggressive countermeasures, damaging user’s experience of the web, their privacy and open access to the web.    In this post, we’ll talk about a new initiative we’re […]
