Firefox

Mozilla's head of Firefox says a browser redesign is central to its effort to win users back from Google Chrome. In an interview with Ars Technica, he outlined product priorities that include a refreshed interface and a stance of skepticism toward stuffing AI features into every part of the browser, arguing Firefox must offer a distinct choice as competition among browsers narrows.

Mozilla's Firefox browser has shipped an update to its user interface, refreshing the browser's look and layout. The change is drawing attention from technology watchers and longtime users, with early reactions mixed as people assess the new design, how it affects daily browsing, and whether settings and familiar controls remain easy to find after the update.

Mozilla has introduced a prompt tuning feature in Firefox that lets users shake the browser to generate a summary of recipe pages. The tool is part of Mozilla's broader push into AI-assisted browsing, aiming to condense long cooking articles into quick ingredient and instruction lists. It has drawn attention for its unusual shake gesture and its focus on food content.
