Lucas Rocha from Mozilla, which develops Firefox for Android has revealed some exciting new products that are being prepared for fans of mobile fox. These are mainly in the field of usability improvements and changes planned in view of the user interface. Yes, once again.

Rocha reveals that these changes will impact on improving the convenience of working with a browser and we can expect the following solutions:

• card – if the card in a mobile lisku will see a new icon for the item (which you can see in the screenshot below), refreshed animation when opening and closing, as well as a new effect when opening and closing the card panel;

• address bar – soon on the title bar instead of the name of the page will be able to display the full URL. Also changed the size of the buttons for the functions of reading and retention, which should solve the problem of their niechc?cym touch
• reading mode – the mode of reading serif fonts were added and improved performance notifications and text selection.

It should be noted that the user interface of mobile fox has been almost a year based on the design of Australis. We also know that Mozilla plans to implement the solution in the desktop version of the fox. When? This is just a very good question.

present project opportunities Australis can try only in the form of special nightly releases of Firefox. The information disclosed some time ago by Mozilla that work on the completion of responsible options for customizing the new GUI browser on the desktop is slowly coming to an end. Foundation having custody of fox ensures that Australis bring again that which was famous for Firefox, so it will fully customizable to user preferences.

present in typical nightly releases of Firefox do not see too many changes and basically the background of the above discussed improvements for Android, Desktop version pales. It is worth a total of only merge two buttons: Home and favorites in one. Nothing more.

Mozilla is silent, however, subject to the implementation date of Australis fox on the desktop. We do not know with which version of the browser that occurs. We will repeal the curtain or the appearance of a project in the standard nightly releases. For now, we are left to wait.
