About this tag
The browser redesign tag on WindowsForum.com covers changes to the look and feel of web browsers, with recent discussion centred on Mozilla's Nova interface for Firefox. Nova, described as the biggest visual overhaul since 2021, brings softer tabs, refreshed icons, a warmer colour palette, the return of Compact Mode, and easier access to tab groups, split view and vertical tabs. Mozilla plans to make it the desktop default in Firefox 157 on September 29, 2026, while keeping extensions, shortcuts and menus in familiar places. Coverage also notes Firefox's continued Manifest V2 support for uBlock Origin, a practical contrast with Chrome.
