Hi folks,
We’re working on some early improvements to the Firefox tab context menu, and we’d love feedback from those of you using Nightly.
The current menu is familiar, but it has grown over time. It can be hard to scan, frequently used actions are mixed in with less common ones. We’ve also heard that some of the current grouping and ordering can feel unintuitive, especially for people newer to Firefox.
This week, a streamlined tab context menu will become available in Firefox Labs in Nightly – as of Thursday, July 16th, it is available in all locales / countries. Our first pass focuses on:
-
making frequently used actions easier to find,
-
improving scannability through clearer grouping,
-
minimizing disruption to existing muscle memory.
These changes are still early, and we don’t take changes to familiar browser surfaces lightly, so we'll be iterating based on your feedback before considering offering the updated menu in the Labs Release.
We’d be grateful if you gave it a try once it goes live and shared your thoughts. You can turn the menu on by navigating to Firefox Settings > Labs section, and checking the checkbox near Streamlined tab menu option.
