End of the era of Firefox and the beginning of the fenix era of Mozilla on Android


Firefox has a fixed position on Android, with a market share not large among users. It is also clear that Mozilla needs to do something to stimulate life through a new product on mobile phones, but if you continue to develop Firefox on the Android operating system in the past two months, You will notice that it is essentially stopped.

This is the result of working on a coming Mozilla browser. It will carry the name "Fenix", which we can know is a completely new Mozilla browser, and is being rebuilt from the ground up using GeckoView and Android Components developed by the company.

At the moment, we only have examples of what the browser will bring, but at the same time it is very promising. The first thing we notice in these models is that the browser comes with a one-user user interface, , As well as support for the "fast pass" gestures, and by pressing the home button the user will be moved to the overview of the open tab.

There is an interesting feature, where once you have finished browsing the web and closing the application, your tabs will be saved in packages called "sessions" and when you return to Fenix, you can either start a new browsing session or go back to your last session, The individual tabs currently used are fully viewable and can be saved manually as sessions, and there should be support for sharing browsing sessions with users and other devices through Firefox Sync.


Mozilla will also not be Mozilla if its next browser does not include Phoenix also has a number of privacy-focused features. Support for blocking ads will automatically block video and audio playback, cookies and tracking, pop-ups, redirection, and even blocking of media including Images, as well as familiar features such as reading mode, navigational mode, site permissions, and so on.

At the end of the day all these details are subject to change, as the browser is still under active development in GitHub, and here Mozilla plans to launch Fenix ​​this summer, to migrate the current Firefox users later.
