Firefox is working on a rounded redesign with easy-to-find controls for privacy and AI

Firefox 正在进行圆角化设计改版，并提供更易于查找的隐私与 AI 控制选项

Firefox is getting a drastic visual overhaul with a redesigned Settings section that will make it easier to find and use privacy settings, including the switch for turning off all present and future AI features. Mozilla calls the redesign “Project Nova” and plans to begin rolling it out later this year. It features rounded UI elements throughout, including bubble-like tabs, along with a refreshed, fire-inspired color palette. Mozilla says it’s also updating icons so they’re more visually consistent across light and dark themes.

Firefox 即将迎来一次重大的视觉改版，重新设计的“设置”界面将使用户更轻松地查找和使用隐私设置，其中包括用于关闭当前及未来所有 AI 功能的开关。Mozilla 将此次改版称为“Project Nova”，并计划于今年晚些时候开始推送。新设计在界面各处采用了圆角元素，包括气泡状的标签页，并配以焕然一新的“火焰”主题配色。Mozilla 表示，他们还在更新图标，以确保其在浅色和深色主题下具有更好的视觉一致性。

Firefox’s AI features and models aren’t downloaded to your computer unless you choose to use them, even if you haven’t turned on the complete block in the settings. But if you do have any installed, it’s already easier to see which ones, and how much space they’re taking up, compared to Google Chrome’s contentious 4GB download.

除非你选择使用，否则 Firefox 的 AI 功能和模型不会下载到你的电脑上，即使你没有在设置中开启完全拦截功能。但如果你确实安装了相关模型，与 Google Chrome 备受争议的 4GB 下载包相比，Firefox 现在能让你更轻松地查看已安装的模型及其占用的存储空间。

While the redesign isn’t coming until later this year, Mozilla also announced a new feature on Thursday that’s available now: support for the Web Serial API. As Mozilla notes: “For example, websites can control devices or deliver firmware without requiring native applications or installers.” The new API is part of Firefox 151, which was released this week and also includes an updated design for the Firefox Home page, new wallpapers, and the option to merge multiple PDFs together in the browser’s PDF viewer.

虽然此次改版要到今年晚些时候才会推出，但 Mozilla 在周四宣布了一项现已可用的新功能：支持 Web Serial API。正如 Mozilla 所指出的：“例如，网站可以在无需原生应用程序或安装程序的情况下控制设备或交付固件。”该 API 是本周发布的 Firefox 151 版本的一部分，该版本还包括了 Firefox 主页的更新设计、新壁纸，以及在浏览器 PDF 查看器中合并多个 PDF 文件的选项。

On the productivity side, the new design will bring back Firefox’s compact mode, which condenses browser controls like the forward and backward buttons. The redesign will also make it easier to access tab groups, split view, and vertical tabs.

在生产力方面，新设计将带回 Firefox 的“紧凑模式”，该模式可以压缩前进和后退按钮等浏览器控件。此次改版还将使用户更轻松地访问标签页组、分屏视图和垂直标签页。

Project Nova will also include more customization, starting with new wallpapers and themes. The new color themes will apply to the whole browser window and have light and dark modes, similar to Chrome’s color themes. Mozilla’s blog post says it’s also “exploring” controls for the shape of tabs and other UI elements.

Project Nova 还将包含更多的自定义选项，首先是新的壁纸和主题。新的配色主题将应用于整个浏览器窗口，并支持浅色和深色模式，类似于 Chrome 的配色主题。Mozilla 的博客文章称，他们还在“探索”针对标签页形状和其他 UI 元素的控制选项。
