Firefox's product roadmap: see what's next and share your thoughts

[dsandoz]

Hi everyone. Today we published a roadmap for Firefox. Now you can see what the team is actively working on across desktop and mobile. You can find it at https://www.firefox.com/whatsnext/

Firefox has always been built in the open, but we know it can sometimes be hard to separate roadmap reality from speculation, leaked code discoveries, or incomplete context. Our goal is to give you all a clear view into where Firefox is headed. 

Here are a few highlights from the roadmap:

• Firefox UI Refresh (Project Nova)
• Ad blocking on iOS
• VPN on Mobile
• PDF Editor Improvements
• Customizable Hotkeys
• Containers
• Power Saving Mode

We’re hosting an AMA on r/firefox with a few folks from Firefox leadership on June 24th at 12pm ET (9am PT) to answer any questions you have about the roadmap and hear about what you’d like to see Firefox build next. Or, share your ideas below!

Thanks for the new website. In general seems useful.

But I see that in multiple occasions new features mentioned link to websites that don't speak about the feauture. For example:

• Tab groups on mobile, it links to the Mozilla Support page about the topic on desktop, that has no mention about the feature on mobile.
• PDF editor improvements, the specific improvements discussed to not appeared on the firefox.com page linked.
• VPN on mobile, same, the link provided only speaks about the VPN on desktop.

Then, with other features, it's about something not new at all:

• Containers (for desktop), it simply list this feature as something new (I wish this was in progress for mobile).

In the way this list is written it doesn't let the reader know what's the progress of every feature.

How could you make more clear the list?

• If you add a link button make sure that the upcoming feature is discussed there.
• Add version labels to each feature. For upcoming features add Beta, Nightly, In Progress, or Coming Soon. If the feature it's already released, label it as Released and add the number version in which it was released. And make sure you can filter by these version labels.
