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 in with everything else you've been browsing, making it hard to keep track of what you're saving for later.

Now you can group related tabs in Firefox for Android, keeping them together in labeled, colored groups so you can actually find what you need when you need it.

How it works

Drag one tab onto another, or select a few and tap "Add to group." Name it, pick a color, and you're done.

Each group appears as a single card in the tab tray rather than a dozen separate tabs. You can open it, rename it, recolor it, or delete it whenever you want. Search still finds tabs inside a group, too.

So when you're standing in the produce aisle looking for that rib recipe, you won't have to scroll past dozens of unrelated tabs just to find it. Everything for your barbecue is organized together in one place, ready when you need it.

Finally sorted, as it should be

Tab grouping was the most requested feature from Firefox mobile users in 2025. And we get it: your tabs shouldn't get harder to manage the more you use your browser. Download the latest version of Firefox for Android now to try Tab Groups, with iOS support on the way.

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 introducing Quick Answers for Firefox on iOS.

With Quick Answers, you can ask a question using your voice and get a concise answer. Just open a new tab, long-press the voice button and ask.

For example:

• "What does mellifluous mean?"
• "What is 95 degrees Fahrenheit in Celsius?"
• "What's the difference between suede and nubuck?"

If a quick answer is all you need, you're done.

If you want to dig in deeper, the links to supporting sources are there for exploration.

Built with transparency and privacy in mind

We've built Quick Answers to be transparent about how it works and what data is shared.

Voice is processed on your device using Apple's speech recognition technology. No raw audio is stored or sent to the server, and Firefox doesn't share your browsing history or personal context with the AI model. Only the transcribed text of your question is sent to generate an answer. You can turn the feature off at any time in Settings → AI Controls.

Quick Answers is starting to roll out today to Firefox for iOS users in the U.S. using English.

Oh, and if you're wondering…

• Mellifluous means pleasant and musical to hear.
• 95 degrees Fahrenheit is 35 degrees Celsius.
• Suede is made from the underside of the hide, while nubuck is made from the outer side and buffed to create a soft, velvety texture.

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 container isn't seen by other containers. No longer will you search for a new hat to wear to a party, only to be inundated with ads for hats at every twist and turn on the internet for weeks to come.

For almost a decade, many of you have relied on our Multi-Account Containers extension to keep work, personal, and privacy-sensitive browsing separate without needing multiple browsers or profiles.

We've heard your feedback and understood the value you find in that separation. Now, we're bringing the power of the Multi-Account Containers extension directly into the heart of Firefox for all to benefit from.

Why bring Containers into Firefox?

Whether you're managing multiple social media accounts, separating work projects from personal shopping, or simply keeping your banking activity distinct, Containers are designed to help you organize your digital space. By making Containers a native, first-party feature in Firefox 153, we are:

• Making it visible by default: You no longer need to hunt for an add-on to get started. Containers are built right into your browser, ready to help you manage your context from day one.
• Simplifying your workflow: We've focused on making it easier to open, create, and manage your containers from the places you already browse.
• Preserving what you love: For our long-time users who have relied on the add-on, the native experience is designed to maintain the core functionality, flexibility, and visual identity you depend on.
• Driving continued investment into the future of this feature, ensuring it lives on as a first party citizen of Firefox.

What to expect in the Preview

In this preview release, you can:

• Open tabs in specific containers: Keep your browsing activity isolated by context.
• Customize your workspace: Create and manage containers with your own names, colors, and icons.
• Manage settings easily: Control your container setup directly from the Firefox settings surface.
• Get Started: Right-click any tab or long-press the new tab (+) button to open a container tab - or head to Firefox Settings to create your first container.

If you're already using the Multi-Account Containers, there's nothing special you need to do. Not all of the features of the add-on are available in the first-party version of containers just yet, we're still building them out. You can continue to use the add-on alongside the built in containers, no need to uninstall the add-on.

This release represents our first step in making Firefox more adaptable to how you actually live and work online. While this is just the beginning, we have plans to refine this experience and build a foundation for future features that make context separation even more seamless.

We're eager to hear how this native experience fits into your daily routine.
