GoKawiilMozilla tests Mini Window feature in Firefox Nightly
Mozilla is trialing a Firefox Nightly feature called Mini Window that lets users pop a tab or page section into a small, always-on-top window with minimal controls. The window hides the address bar and toolbar until hovered, making the content resemble a standalone web app while staying visible above other Firefox windows.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The feature could help users multitask on limited screen space, such as laptops, by letting them reference content without switching windows. It may also appeal to users of macOS's Stage Manager, which normally limits visible windows, since Mini Window reportedly bypasses that constraint, according to ZDNet's Jack Wallen's testing.
- Firefox Nightly is testing a 'Mini Window' feature for popping out tabs.
