Revision Content

Welcome to a new version of Firefox Focus for Android (version 96). This release comes with the following improvements and features:

Firefox Focus Studies setting

Firefox Focus runs studies to make sure users are getting the best experience when they test new features. This setting is turned on by default, but learn how to opt out.

Total Cookie Protection enabled by default

Total Cookie Protection is now available and enabled by default in Focus for Android. This is a new, extra-strong protection against cross-site tracking cookies, making it more difficult for ad trackers to track you across sites. Learn more about blocking cookies.

SmartBlock mitigates website breakage due to tracking protection

You’ll encounter less website breakage in Total Cookie Protection with SmartBlock, which provides stand-in scripts so that websites load properly.

Updates to tab functionality

We’ve made enhancements to tab functionality, including implementing an easier view of how many tabs a user has open and the ability to individually delete tabs instead of deleting them all at once.

Repositioning of trash icon to the search bar menu

After we received feedback about the position of the trash icon being inconvenient, we’ve repositioned the trash icon to the search bar so it’s no longer potentially obstructed by article content.
