I noticed that many people have trouble with the website content jumping down when moving the cursor to the top corner. You often have navigation items close to the upper part of the website, so many people bump accidentally with their mouse cursor in the top border of the screen, triggering the Browser UI popping up and moving everything. Maybe a fixed position with some slide-transition could make the whole experience smoother. (I'm using Firefox on Debian Linux and don't know if Firefox behaves everywhere the same way)

Hello everyone!
1) Update Viewer
I was thinking that although on the official Firefox page we have to see the updates, it would be great to have a specific option to see the browser updates, in this way those of us who use the beta version can be aware of it more easily
2)Viewer windows
My other idea was a window viewer like the one with edge, which personally is a simple way to know what firefox processes are open (I will include a photo of this option) I think that with this option users could know exactly what we have open and what things are really being consumed, I know that firefox has an event viewer or something similar but I feel that it doesn't fully represent it like the edge viewer does, with this I personally feel that firefox would have an extremely useful extra detail
Hola a todos! 1) Visor de actualizaciones Estuve pensando que si bien en la pagina oficial de firefox tenemos para ver las actualizaciones, estaria genial tener una opcion especifica para ver las actualizaciones del navegador, de esta manera los que usamos la version beta podremos estar al tanto de forma mas sencilla 2)Visor de ventanas Mi otra idea era un visor de ventanas como el que tiene edge, que personalmente es una forma sencilla de saber que procesos de firefox estan abierto (incluire foto de esta opcion) pienso que con esta opcion los usuarios podriamos saber exactamente que es lo que tenemos abierto y que cosas realmente se estan consumiendo, se que firefox tiene un visor de eventos o algo parecido pero siento que no representa en totalidad como lo hace el visor de edge, con esto personalmente siento que firefox tendria un detalle extra extremadamente util

Hi.. Please add the rounded corners and borders to the PIP window, like almost all other browsers already have. It seems that this floating window is the only thing in Firefox that does not follow the system rules (windows 11 in this case). Right now this can be done in CSS, but there is a problem with the background window, which remains with square corners and this cannot be modified with just CSS.. Well, at least I could not find the way how to deal with this problem. As a positive moment, this can also help those users who switch from Chrome to Firefox, as they could get used to seeing pip player like that..

Hi, Please add a feature so TB changes the background color of a label, instead of the text color it self. This would be far better to spot the different between the different labels.

I'd like to have the possibility to change color to each account label and icon.

In settings, I know it's possible to change the e-mails font size, however the UI font size doesn't change. This add-on increases the UI font size a little bit, but I don't think we should rely on add-ons to change something so basic.

I am posting my reply to the thread below as a new idea, to highlight my take on the OP's original description, to garner clarity. https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/when-add-an-address-allow-user-to-select-address-book/idi-p/12995 The widespread use of CardDAV has grown significantly, especially for businesses. It's frustrating not being able to set a remote address book as the default, in Thunderbird's settings. Whenever adding a new contact, particularly from a received message, when clicking on the address book icon, it will use the local Personal Address Book by default. One has to then Edit it either there, or drag the entry between the Personal and Remote address book within the Address Book manager. The thorough solution would be: To have an Address Book configuration section under Settings Be able to select the default address book for adding new contacts Be able to select an alternative address book when adding a new contact from a message header zoot

Short Version In TB Calendar's Event Description field, I'd love it if the former plain-text editor could be resurrected via a new toggle/checkbox option in Settings (or in Config Editor), so we're not forced to use the new rich-text editor. Long Version I use Calendar Events a lot, especially the free-form Description box where I enter lots of notes and to-do's. In TB 78.x, the big Description area/box/field was a plain-text editor. It worked *flawlessly*. (I'm on MacOS 11.7.x, btw.) But when I upgraded to TB 91.x (and now 102.x) , it became a rich-text editor. I don't mind that in itself, but the rich-text editor has a handful of bugs that make it difficult to copy-paste and edit the data in that Description box reliably. Very frustrating. I talk more about these bugs in this Mozilla Connect thread here. It would be great if the former plain-text editor could still be an option, via a new toggle/checkbox control in Settings (or an entry in Config Editor). Since all the old plain-text-editor code must still exist (currently deactivated), presumably reactivating it as a user option shouldn't be a large development chore (I hope!), and would hopefully continue providing bug-free UI/editing for those of us on MacOS who don't need rich-text features. Thank you for considering my humble feature request.

Thunderbird:
Is it possible to add possibility to change Theme of received mail?
Example: Sender: 'John', Theme: 'Bill for components'
If I know that John works at AAA company, I prefer to change the Theme of received letter as 'AAA, bill for cable' to understand, what this letter is about without opening it.

I have some ideas and I hope they will help in the future. I wanted to know if a super optimized version of firefox is possible, for those who very often require a limited ram consumption, a system that loads images at low quality, or high quality etc., in order to save the loading speed (if this it is expected). The second idea is to better customize your user experience. There are so many types of users, and many of the features are useful, others may never be used. Precisely the goal is to aim at saving data, pushing on optimizations. I also ask to be able to create something that allows you to activate or deactivate settings based on what type of user he is, not sacrificing much navigation quality. Consequently, based on the activation and deactivation of the settings, allow you to view some info on performance, if activating or deactivating it you can save or not ram or cpu and which features you lose and sacrifice. Basically it is something that many users are looking for, and to better customize a user experience, and optimizing the app I think is the right way to meet these needs, ignored by only making applications and in modern operating systems that are very heavy compared to 20 Years ago.

I do not remember which version introduced the current interface for bookmarking tabs, but as a user who organises their bookmarks in folders, I find it slow and overly complicated and would be interested to hear if other users find the same? The particular issue I have with bookmarking is the "Location" option, which by default only shows the bookmark folder which was last selected, and then the drop down menu only shows the options "Bookmarks Menu, Bookmarks Toolbar, Other bookmarks" and recently used folders. This means that to chose a folder which is not recently used, you have to select "Chose" before your full folder list is displayed. Historically, you could expand the locations list with one click and see the full folder list. I can understand that the current arrangement must have been considered an improvement for some reason, but it would be nice if this behaviour of using recent folders instead of just presenting a folder list could optionally be disabled in the Firefox configuration.

It would be nice if the notifications about new incoming emails would appear in the modern (Windows 10/11) design. Looks a bit old-fashioned at the moment...

What am I calling a modern context menu?
It's a context menu with a first line ribbon made of only icons, then followed by normal text entries. (Maybe there's another name for this idk)
You already have one in Firefox when right clicking an empty area :
My idea is to make this kind of context menu EVERYWHERE (when it makes sense), reasons :
More compact
Faster to use
Sexier
For example the context menu of a tab may look like this :
And there's many more menus that could be rethinked with this idea in mind, text selection, image, link...

If you use the 'Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed' user preference (which enables website default 'cookies and site data' behaviour 'Allow for Session') you have to manually create an exception for each website you visit (user preferences > privacy > Manage Exceptions > Add) which is a lot of friction andprobably leads to many users disabling the privacy-minded 'Delete cookies .. when closed' setting altogether after encountering repeated frustration when they've forgotten to make an exception for a website and being required to login again.
This proposal recommends adding new UI to the 'Site Information' urlbar to drastically improve the UX for this use-case by allowing exceptions to be set immediately via the 'Site Information' urlbar dropdown for the current website. This relatively simple addition will make the 'Delete cookies .. on close' privacy feature much more practical and beneficial, which appears to support one of the project objectives of being the most private browser.
Proposal 1 is more explicit but requires a new label string. (see image below on right)
Proposal 2 is simplest, with no new label strings required. If changing to 'Block' requires a page reload, it will need user feedback such as a prompt, or the text " (refresh required)" appended to 'Block'. (see image below on left)
Proposal 2 left, proposal 1 right
Proposal 1: Toggle + Radiobuttons: - On Initiation: - the option matching the default behaviour controlled by the 'Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed' user preference (unchecked = Allow, checked = Allow for Session) has the text " (default)" appended to it If an exception does not exist for site: - toggle appears OFF - all options are unselectable and appear disabled (greyed out) - the option matching the default behaviour controlled by the 'Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed' user preference (Allow / Allow for Session) appears selected - when user sets toggle to ON: - a site exception is created immediately with the value matching the default behaviour controlled by the 'Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed' user preference (Allow / Allow for Session) - options become selectable and do not appear disabled (not greyed out) - selected option still appears selected despite being disabled
If an exception does exist for site: - toggle appears ON - the option matching the site exception (block/Allow/Allow for Session) appears selected - when user sets toggle to OFF: - the site exception is immediately removed from preferences - the option matching the default behaviour controlled by 'Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed' user preference (Allow / Allow for Session) becomes selected - all options appear unselectable and disabled (greyed out) again - the default selected option still appears selected despite being disabled - when user selects an option: - if the option is already selected, do nothing - the existing site exception is updated with new value matching selected option - the newly selected option appears selected - other options appear unselected
Proposal 2 - Multi-select buttons without a toggle
The option matching the default behaviour controlled by the 'Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed' user preference (Allow or Allow for Session): - has the text " (default)" appended to it - is preselected if there is no site exception set If an exception does exist for site, the matching option is preselected and active When a new option is selected: - if selected option is the (default) option, immediately remove the site exception - else immediately create/update site exception - make selected option appear selected/active - make other options appear unselected
Benefits:
- Use existing already-translated strings for UI - (default) text indicates the default browser behaviour - No user understanding or mention of exceptions required - One-click preference change

Firefox browser should by default have all telemetry as an opt in option or have zero telemetry within the browser on first start. I understand this could hinder the Firefox development team from making decisions about new features, etc, but some changes in regards to telemetry usage could help promote Firefox's reputation as privacy-friendly. Or Firefox should have less dependence on their telemetry measurements and focus more on general community feedback (ie: this Mozilla Connect page, support pages, social media posts, or even emailed poll questions asking users what they want to see in browser, etc, etc.) I think a lesser importance on the telemetry data and more community feedback and public discussions would help better Firefox's features and redesigns but also help Firefox/Mozilla's privacy mission.

Currently in full screen mode, toolbar is always 'inserted' on top when mouse hovers and all the page content gets reshaped, resized constantly which looks ridiculous especially on youtube and its video player.. Much better and more functional display would be to keep page full screen as it is without reshaping or touching anything and just overlay toolbar over the top (without animation?), like it was done in windows 10 with taskbar auto hide feature Regards

Each time i'm downloading many files the "DOWNLOAD PANEL" gets in my way, and sometimes i dont want others to know what i recently downloaded. Can you please make it just a temporary floating panel that disappears 2 or 3 seconds later. The other aspect of downloading is good.
Thanks 😊

Firefox Desktop'sSync and main (sandwich) dropdown menus and Firefox Mobile main menu expose the email address associated with the Firefox Account being sync-ed. This may leak user's email adress, specially when showing off your screen (e.g. screencasting). Firefox should show user's name or alias used in Firefox Account instead of email adress, so as email is not exposed when using that menu. Note: this issue/idea was previously addressed in prior Firefox Ideas but apparently was not migrated. This (https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/wt57w5/is_there_any_way_i_can_get_my_profile_name) Reddit post reminded me this had already been discussed.

sometimes you just want to have a clean simple toolbar with no icon standing out the standard ones so there's this nice feature called the overflow menu helping achieve that. but there is a problem the overflow menu won't resize to follow or fit a selected extension panel in case you hide them inside it. leading to a lose of information which you have to bring the said extension icon back to the toolbar to get and then re-hide the icon back in the overflow. a bothering process. please do something about it for us who like having a minimal toolbar with no extension icon. thanks.
