Microsoft edge has two main things that make it stand out above PDF.js to me - the fact that you can make comments and the fact that firefox forces you to go through the file explorer when you want to save PDF annotations. In edge, you just press a button and your changes are saved to the file you opened, no hassle. I read that PDF comments are in the works at the very least but no one seems to be pointing this feature out.
I don't really get why a more straightforward save feature like this hasn't already been implemented because firefox already knows the file path and whether or not changes have been made to the document. If anything, the current method seems more convoluted.
Any way I could somehow automate this process myself would also be appreciated, considering two save buttons might clutter the toolbar.
Also no, this is not an issue with my annotations not being saved, I just don't like the save feature. It's annoying.

When I bring my Windows PC out of sleep, Thunderbird mindlessly slogs through all new emails one by one, even if they were deleted or opened using another device. For example, I have 10 new emails not in the local Thunderbird client - I have to sit though 10 slow notification popups one at a time, even if I have the client open or if the emails are deleted. It would be better to group them in one notification when there is a batch waiting to download, or implement some other more clever response.

This idea is related to the plugin: Multi-Account Containers https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers I wanted to create an issue there, but it would lead me here. So here's my idea: I use lots of different containers and I always use the search functionality to use the desired container. Therefor it would be very useful if after clicking on the plugin icon and opening the modal, if my text cursor would automatically jump to the search bar, to be able to use this feature with fewer mouse clicks, making it more accessible at the same time. (Add on: If I could use a shortcut to open this modal and then select the container via keyboard, that would even be better for my productivity)

I have seen several posts suggesting specific improvements to boomark management on Firefox mobile, but I think we need a more overall approach. If you use Firefox as your main browser and sync it between desktop and mobile, you will likely have a large library of bookmarks. The desktop browser has a great bookmark manager akin to Windows file explorer. You can easily organise into folders, browse, search and locate bookmarks in their folder and move bookmarks between folders. I would like to suggest a proper bookmark manager like the desktop version has, be implemented for the mobile version.

When the sidebar expand on hover option is turned on, the 'X' to close tabs appears at the end of the tab title, this means after hovering on the left you have to move your mouse all the way to the right to close the tab, if you go too far, the sidebar collapses meaning yhou have to try again. For ease it would be better if the X appeared somewhere around the icon or there was some ease of close feature.
Thank you 🙂 just a pet peeve of mine

reading the documentation it seems to me that the only way to bring a message filter from one account to others is to export the filter and import it into the desired account.
It could be useful, when I decide to create a filter, to have the possibility to automatically spread it across all accounts ?
I am referring in particular to the creation of filters on header "From, To, CC, Bcc" where in each account I have created a SPAM folder (with the same folder name) to trash messages.
Thanks. marvin

One of Outlook's best features - and the whole point of threads IMHO - is the ability to quickly delete all emails in a thread that you don't actually need (because the text is all in the replies in the latest message). This tidies up your inbox in an instant and lets you see the wood for the trees instead of a forest of 'me too' replies to group messages. Any chance of something similar in Thunderbird now threads are pretty stable? Outlooks feature simply moves all the unneeded threads to a folder location (Deleted or other!) and you can protect flagged messages, unread, attachments etc from being 'cleaned'. Honestly, showing colleagues what happens when you press Ctrl-k in Outlook has often been the highlight of my week. The look of delight on their faces!!!

I would like to propose the inclusion of URL shortcut files as an option in the "Save As" window. Currently, when using "Save As," to download a website the available formats are limited to "Webpage, Complete," "Webpage, HTML Only," and "Text File." Adding support for saving as a URL shortcut file—such as .url, .webloc, .desktop, or .desktop-url—would be very convenient. At the moment, the only way to create such shortcut files is by dragging the address bar direction, which can be inconvenient in certain contexts or on some devices. This feature would improve usability and offer a more accessible alternative for users who prefer or need to save links without relying on drag-and-drop actions.

When a user open a rss/atom link, Firefox show raw xml. Since it is a common format (like images, audio or video files), it would be great to have a nice formatting without relying on third party tools or extension.

Whenever I install Firefox and sync my firefox account, I have to enter every website on the bookmark list until I get the icons of them fully. In Chrome or Edge, it is not like this, so the bookmarks look pretty

I would appreciate it if TB Mobile could have a unified folder option for Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Spam and Trash. It would be very convenient to check only the unified folders instead of checking all the folders of each mail account I added to TB individually. Spark Mail has implemented this (also some other mail apps like BlueMail) and it works like a charm there.

Tab Groups are great but would be awesome if we could use:
Custom Colors
This would help immensely for colorblind or improved contrast, compensation for lighting/display issues, etc.
Currently only 5 or 6 of the 9 colors are "functionally usable" for some due to colorblindness, which is quite limiting in many cases.
Customization could be done in settings or a pop up menu, etc. for RGB triplet decimal & hex values.
More than 9 colors
To solve the space issue, could use something like an overflow/drop-down/menu button that leads to a list/grid of the additional colors (with scroll bars if there are too many for even that area).
Thanks!

Hi Thunderbird Team,
As Android (especially on Google Pixel phones) continues to evolve its visual language, I was wondering whether you might consider experimenting with some aspects of the new Material 3 Expressive style in future updates.
https://youtu.be/n17dnMChX14
https://www.androidpolice.com/android-16-stable-and-qpr-1-beta-1/
Selectively applying expressive elements - such as updated typography, motion, or component shapes (like a floating toolbar) could subtly but meaningfully enhance the user experience, especially with Android 16 QPR1 Beta 1 rolling out this week.
Google has shared some helpful resources and components here, in case you're exploring this direction: https://m3.material.io/blog/building-with-m3-expressive
Thanks again for your great work on Thunderbird!

The adress bar on phones often is very small for URLs.
E.g. For this link Firefox for Android just shows me "connect.mozilla.o" and if I click on it, i see the end of the URL with "ostpage/board-id/ideas".
I can click on the lock-symbol and then on "connection is secure" to see the full URL. But it took me some time to figure out. Would be great to make it easier to see the actual URL you are on.

Please distinguish between "Site data" and "Cookies" within Firefox' Clear Data!
Sometimes we want do get rid of large "Site data" but keep "Cookies" of Websites, to avoid getting logged out of sites or the need for clicking onto "accept Cookies"-dialogs of these Websites again.

Hello all,
I’m writing to request the addition of CSV password import functionality to Firefox for Android.
Currently, this feature is only available on desktop. While I personally have access to a desktop, I know many people who rely entirely on mobile devices—not only because of cost or availability, but also because that's the environment they're familiar with and confident using. For these users, shifting to desktop workflows for tasks like importing passwords isn't just inconvenient; it's exclusionary.
There's a growing gap between what mobile-first design promises and what mobile users are actually empowered to do. As more critical digital infrastructure (banking, healthcare, government services) requires secure login management, being unable to manage credentials fully on mobile becomes a barrier to access and digital autonomy. This is increasingly a class issue, where those without desktop access or literacy are quietly denied the full functionality of the web.
I believe Firefox could lead by example here. Offering full password import/export capabilities on mobile would be a small technical change with a big impact on digital inclusion.
Thanks for all your work—and for listening.
Kind regards,
Alex England
