Mozilla has announced the short-term roadmap for Firefox, looking ahead 1-2 years with a list of features planned for release from this year to next year (2025). These features include Tab Grouping, Vertical Tabs, and tab management in the sidebar (currently being tested in Nightly version). A new Profile Management system has been introduced, along with customizable background images for tabs. The settings page for privacy has been made easier to understand, and a new simplified menu organization has been implemented to reduce clutter.
On the main front of web browsing, improvements are being made in terms of speed, efficiency, continuous battery usage, and collaboration with other browsers to address display compatibility issues through the long-standing Interop project. Other dimensions of Firefox focus on adding features that process data internally on the user’s machine, such as PDF editing and translation, to maintain user privacy without sending personal data back to others’ servers. Firefox is also set to introduce AI features for generating alt text for images in PDF files using on-device processing techniques.
TLDR: Mozilla has outlined upcoming features for Firefox such as Tab Grouping, Vertical Tabs, Profile Management system, customizable tab backgrounds, improved privacy settings, and internal processing features. Additionally, efforts are being made to enhance browsing speed, efficiency, and battery usage, while addressing display compatibility issues through collaboration with other browsers.
