Do you use Firefox on your Android device? If so, you'll want to grab the latest update for some cool and helpful new features. In a Tuesday blog post , the folks at Mozilla unveiled three new and improved features for the Android version of their browser and revealed what's in store for future editions.

First on the list is tab groups . Accessible in the desktop flavor of Firefox for the past year , tab groups are now rolling out to the mobile edition via version 152. With this feature, you can organize your related tabbed pages into specific groups to help cut down on the clutter. After assigning a name and color to your group, just close it to save space and reopen it when you need to access all the pages inside. Mozilla promises that this one will reach iOS users later this year.

"Tab Groups add a layer of color-coded organization to your browser, making it easier to keep related tabs together," Firefox said in a blog post from 2025 . "You can create groups for topics, projects or recurring tasks — like the news sites you read daily, ideas for a new woodworking hobby or research for an upcoming trip to Thailand."

Next up is a revamp of the Settings screen . With this overhaul, Mozilla is touting a simpler layout, letting you more easily find a specific setting and discover options you might not have known about. Your preferences won't change, but hopefully they'll now be better organized.

"Over time, some settings pages became crowded, related preferences were spread across different sections, and it wasn't always obvious where to look for a particular option," Mozilla said in another blog post . "The new settings feature a cleaner layout, modern visual design, improved labels and descriptions, and updated navigation, bringing related categories together."

Firefox automatically blocks annoying ads and other kinds of trackers to keep your browsing activity and preferences private. But now you'll be able to see that in action. The new Blocked Tracker Widget will show you how many and what types of trackers the browser has stopped. This type of safeguard is part of Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection
