Hello everyone!
Many of you have noticed some of the design updates appearing in certain Firefox configurations over the past few months. Internally, we’ve been calling this work Project Nova, and today we’re excited to share a deeper look at what we’ve been building and where we’re heading next.
The goal of this work is to create a more cohesive foundation for Firefox: making the browser feel cleaner, warmer, faster, and more adaptable.
Some of the areas we’re working on include:
- Simpler navigation and a redesigned Settings experience
- Easier access to features like tab groups, split view, and vertical tabs
- The return of Compact Mode
- Refreshed visual updates across tabs, icons, spacing, and browser surfaces
- More customization options, including new themes and wallpapers
The redesign work also focuses heavily on cohesiveness, accessibility, and making Firefox feel more consistent across desktop and mobile experiences.
This work is still evolving, and we want to continue building this in the open with all of you.
As always, let us know what you think below. We’re listening.
