Firefox for iOS Gets Faster, Easier to Use

July 27, 2016 Roger Lacroix

Tyler Lacroix (my son) has been working at Mozilla’s Toronto office this summer as an intern. He’s been lucky to be doing new development work for Firefox on iOS. He’s been telling me about some of the new features he has been adding to Firefox and now it has been released to the public.

Tyler also did a presentation of his work to local colleagues and remote people. In the video, Tyler is in the middle box and there are 2 boxes with people watching from Mt. View, CA and Portland, OR. His is labeled ‘A Swifty Internship’. https://air.mozilla.org/a-swifty-internship/
