This article shows an upcoming version of Firefox for iOS, so yours might look different. Please update in a few weeks to get these features.

Using Firefox on an iPhone or iPod touch? Firefox lets you change the size of your tabs on the tab list, making them easier to view on a small screen.

Note: This feature is not available on the iPad.

If you prefer to minimize scrolling, set Firefox to use Compact Tabs to see more of them in one view.

  1. Tap the tab icon at the bottom of the screen.

    iOS select tab
  2. Tap Settings in the menu panel.
  3. Tap the switch next to Use Compact Tabs to turn it on: switchonios
    FxiOS-compact-tab-view

Regular view

To view larger, but fewer tabs on your tab list, turn off Compact Tabs:

  1. Tap the tab icon at the bottom of the screen.

    iOS select tab
  2. Tap Settings in the menu panel.
  3. Tap the switch next to Use Compact Tabs to turn it off: switchoffios
