Mozilla gives Firefox for iOS a UI facelift
Mozilla has released a redesigned Firefox for Apple's iPhone and iPad, debuting the new look that will also grace the more popular desktop version of the browser next week.
Firefox for iOS version 10, which hit the App Store on Wednesday, features the same user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) that will also mark Firefox 57 for Windows, macOS and Linux, when it ships Tuesday, Nov. 14.
Derived from an ongoing project tapped as "Photon," the Firefox UI/UX mimics the minimalism of other browsers, notably Google's Chrome and Microsoft's Edge, with reduced clutter at the top of the window that includes combined address and search bars.
Firefox for iOS 10's other changes range from a revamped menu under the three-lined "hamburger" icon at the upper right to a recast new tab display, with the latter replicating the desktop browser's design.
