Whether you're picking up an article on your desktop that you started on your phone or trying to retrieve a page you closed just moments ago, Firefox View has you covered. Here's a breakdown of what you can access:

  • Recent Browsing: View your active and recently closed tabs at a glance.
  • Open Tabs: See all your current tabs organized for clear navigation.
  • Recently Closed Tabs: Quickly retrieve any tabs you've mistakenly closed.
  • Tabs from Other Devices: Sync with your Mozilla account to access tabs across all your devices effortlessly.
  • History: View pages from your browsing history, which can be sorted by date visited or by site.
