Mozilla has published a public product roadmap for Firefox alongside the release of Firefox 152. The browser update includes three headline user-facing changes: a redesigned settings menu, Android tab groups, and a blocked tracker widget Firefox 152 roadmap announcement.
Mozilla Publishes Public Firefox Roadmap A: What’s new in Firefox 152
Firefox 152 launches with a fully redesigned settings menu, detailed in Mozilla’s official settings announcement Firefox settings redesign blog post. The new layout consolidates all previously available user preferences in a reorganized interface, so users who have customized their Firefox setup will not need to reconfigure any settings after installing the update.
Android users gain access to Tab Groups in Firefox 152, the same tab organization feature long available on desktop Firefox for grouping related pages. The mobile implementation lets users group, name, and color-code related mobile tabs to reduce clutter for workflows that require multiple open pages. Use cases include cross-referencing research sources or managing separate work and personal browsing sessions, while iOS support for Tab Groups is scheduled to launch in a future Firefox mobile update Firefox 152 roadmap announcement.
A new blocked tracker widget is included in the Firefox 152 release for all supported desktop and mobile platforms. The widget surfaces real-time and cumulative data on Firefox’s tracker blocking activity directly in the browser interface, giving users direct visibility into the browser’s privacy protections. Users can click into the widget to view detailed, categorized information about individual blocked tracking events.
Upcoming features confirmed in the public roadmap
The public roadmap formalizes Firefox’s open development practices into a single, publicly accessible document hosted on the official Mozilla Firefox blog Firefox 152 roadmap announcement. The document is designed to give the global Firefox user community visibility into in-development features and a formal, public channel to provide feedback to the Mozilla development team prior to general release.
Native support for the Multi-Account Containers extension is listed as in active development in the roadmap. When launched, the native feature will let users isolate browsing activity for separate use cases — such as separating work, personal, and shopping browsing sessions — without installing the popular third-party Multi-Account Containers extension.
Native PDF editing tools are also confirmed in active development for Firefox. When released, these tools will let users split, merge, and reorganize PDF documents directly in the browser without external software, reducing context switching for document tasks such as editing a multi-page contract or combining scanned receipts into a single file.
Two distinct AI features are listed in the roadmap for future Firefox releases. Quick Answers delivers concise AI-generated responses to user voice or text queries directly in the browser, for example summarizing a long article or answering a factual question without navigating away from the current page. Smart Window is an optional private AI browsing tool for comparing and contextualizing web content, such as cross-referencing product specifications across multiple retail sites without manually switching between tabs.
Cross-device privacy protections are a key stated focus of the public roadmap. The free, built-in Firefox VPN service is scheduled to launch for Android and iOS devices, included at no extra cost for Firefox users to eliminate the need for a separate third-party VPN subscription for mobile browsing.
A new power saving mode for mobile Firefox is also confirmed in the roadmap. The feature will automatically identify resource-heavy open tabs and reduce their CPU and battery impact without manual tab management, extending battery life for users with multiple open background tabs during daily commutes or workdays.
Bottom line: Firefox 152’s three headline updates — the redesigned settings menu, Android Tab Groups, and cross-platform blocked tracker widget — are available immediately for all supported desktop and Android mobile platforms, with iOS Tab Groups support scheduled for a future mobile release.
The new public roadmap, hosted on the official Mozilla Firefox blog, confirms six upcoming in-development features: native Multi-Account Containers, in-browser PDF editing tools, the two AI features Quick Answers and Smart Window, a no-cost built-in Firefox VPN for Android and iOS, and an automatic mobile power saving mode, serving as a centralized, publicly accessible resource for tracking in-development Firefox features and submitting pre-release feedback directly to the Mozilla development team.
