The settings screen is simpler, and you can see any blocked trackers.

Other features on the way include a VPN and a power-saving mode.

Do you use Firefox on your Android device? If so, you'll want to grab the latest update for some cool and helpful new features. In a Tuesday blog post, the folks at Mozilla unveiled three new and improved features for the Android version of their browser and revealed what's in store for future editions.

Tab groups

First on the list is tab groups. Accessible in the desktop flavor of Firefox for the past year, tab groups are now rolling out to the mobile edition via version 152. With this feature, you can organize your related tabbed pages into specific groups to help cut down on the clutter. After assigning a name and color to your group, just close it to save space and reopen it when you need to access all the pages inside. Mozilla promises that this one will reach iOS users later this year.
