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 […]

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.

Browsers make it easy to start things, but picking them back up is another story.

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.

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.

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.
