Mozilla has released a new Firefox roadmap that highlights upcoming features in productivity, privacy, performance, and AI.

The document was published alongside the Firefox 152 update. Some of the features listed have already been introduced, while others are being announced for the first time.

The release coincides with a decline in Firefox's desktop market share, which has dropped from 5.88% in May 2025 to 3.79% in May 2026, according to Statcounter.

Productivity Updates and New Privacy & Security Additions in Firefox

The roadmap highlights several enhancements aimed at boosting productivity. It includes a redesign of the Nova interface, which was previously announced as a major update to the user interface.

Support for tab groups on mobile devices is also part of the plan. Mozilla is adding customizable keyboard shortcuts, a feature they say is among the most requested by users.

Additionally, there are improvements to PDF editing tools, allowing users to split, merge, and reorder files more easily. A redesigned Settings page is already available in Firefox 152.

Mozilla is expanding its privacy features in Firefox to mobile devices:

• The built-in VPN will now be available on mobile platforms in addition to desktop. On
  
• iOS, Firefox will receive basic ad and tracker blocking capabilities without the need for external add-ons.
  

This mobile VPN expansion comes after Mozilla's current promotional offer, which provides Firefox users with unlimited VPN bandwidth and access to 28 countries through August 31.
