GoKawiilFirefox Nightly adds beta 'Mini Window' feature to pop out tabs
Mozilla has introduced a beta feature called Mini Window in Firefox Nightly that lets users detach a tab, or part of one, into a small floating window resembling a standalone web app. The Mini Window hides the usual browser interface until the cursor hovers over it, revealing only the address bar and basic navigation controls, and it stays on top of other Firefox windows. The feature is currently available only in the Firefox Nightly build.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
By keeping reference content always visible without cluttering the screen, this could appeal to users juggling multiple tasks on smaller displays like laptops. Since it remains in beta within Nightly, its final form and timeline for wider release in stable Firefox are not yet confirmed. The feature may also be positioned to differentiate Firefox from Chrome, which reportedly lacks an equivalent capability.
- Firefox Nightly now includes a beta 'Mini Window' feature for popping out tabs.
- Mini Windows float above other browser windows and hide controls until hovered over.
- The feature targets multitaskers, especially on smaller screens like laptops.
