VPNs have been invaluable whenever I've travelled. Firefox VPN is by far the easiest solution as it's built into the browser. We've seen a big year of growth and to celebrate the holidays VPN is going unlimited though the end of January - blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/…

come back to Firefox
How is the internet less private than in 2006, when the whole family shared one computer? Back then, the internet was weird, personal, and all of ours. So, we got your favorite meme legends back together to say it louder: What happened to the internet? 1/3

The reasons we fell in love with Firefox years ago are still here and I’m really optimistic about how much progress we’ve made with great new features and improvements to provide users a best in class browser without compromises. Today we're rolling out the new Firefox design.
Firefox 157 drops today, bringing back Compact Mode, this time with its own dedicated setting. During early testing many of you shared that you didn’t want to lose density in the new design. That feedback directly impacted this release. 1/3

Powerful features but also with choice and competition throughout
Now in Firefox 154: Smart Window. An optional, privacy-first smart browsing assistant that’s separate from your regular browsing and built to help you get more done. 1/5

One of my favorite slogans is Blue Origin's Gradatim Ferociter which means step by step furiously. Some steps more furiously than others! I'm excited to see what you build. Feedback welcome. about.fb.com/news/2023/09/wh… AND just wait until next week ;-) Hint: Meta Connect

Bob was one of my best friends over the last 20 years and one of the most impactful people in my life. So many amazing memories and experiences with him. He wanted everyone around him to have fun and be happy. Will forever miss his positive energy and laughs. RIP.
