In a message list, an email will show 3 chunks of text: sender, subject, and preview. The preview text should appear on its own separate line, for readability and glancability. Currently, it appears on the same line as the subject (I have it set to show sender above subject). I will frequently get emails from the same sender and subject line, meaning the preview lines are the only way to differentiate the emails -- it is tricky to scan through the email list when the preview text potentially appears part way along a line and sometimes part way along the 4th+ line if it has a long subject. It is easy to identify the preview text for an unread message (due to bold sender/subject), but this is not easy with "read" messages. An example of dark mode with some messages read/unread is attached. ... View more

When a message list is empty, it should show a text message and (ideally) an image to signify that the list is deliberately empty. It could initially be something as simple as the app logo in the centre of the list view with the text "No messages". Similar approach in Gmail is down in the attachment. ... View more

In the message list view, change the colour of the date/time to be a different colour; perhaps blue (similar to Outlook or Edison) or customisable. This will make seeing unread emails at a glance easier. The current option to have a different colour background for a message in the list, especially in dark mode, looks clunky, dated, and (in my experience, most importantly) messes with my ability to smoothly read the list of mixed read/unread messages.   ...

Currently the Firefox desktop Settings or the "about:preferences" page have certain settings categorized. I believe this should be removed and have all settings place on a single page. The issue is the extreme differences in the six categorizes present. "Sync" & "More from Mozilla" side-tab can easily fit into one page. Next in size is "Home" & "Search", while the last two largest side-tabs, "General" & "Privacy & Security", are no where near the previous two sizes. Lots of scrolling and searching can be reduced in categories that seem incorrect to the setting can be avoided if the option is given to let the user decide. ... View more

A great feature of Gmail is that for each email in the list of emails, it displays the list of gmail labels attached to that email.   I know that TB translates the gmail labels into folders, but with this additional facility, I'd be able to instantly see, as I can on the Gmail web site and in some other clients such as eM Client for Windows, all the Gmail labels associated with an email.   There is an add-on, Gmail Labels, but it doesn't work properly until you actually display one of the folders in which an email appears, and it is very slow.  I use eM Client a lot purely because of this feature and it would be a really excellent addition to Thunderbird.   Please do consider this suggestion.   Thank you,     Wilf ...

Restore the "Forget About This Site" feature to the History Side Bar. Deleting multiple pages from history is tedious with the sidebar update. There are no options to delete all, select multiple, or delete by site. I know the functionality is still available in the "Manage history", but this functionality should be more discoverable and accessible. ... View more

I'm a mostly uninformed user that's been using vertical tabs via. the Tree Style Tabs extension for a long while before vers. 137. When I heard about the new native vertical tabs I excitedly switched and removed TST, only to find out that native vertical tabs did not have trees. I redownloaded TST and it's working fine, but there's a small strip that houses nothing but the ability to turn on TST and access to sidebar settings. I don't use these actions much at all, so I'd rather that strip be optionally removed via. main settings or something. Attached is a picture of the sidebar I'm talking about with my tabs blurred. ...

At present when dragging to resize the main firefox window, the toolbox search box and URL bar resize in a smooth progression, which is great. However if you make the window quite narrow i.e. dragging the right edge over to the left, then what happens is some of the add-on toolbar icons are hidden to make room. This happens instantly and so has the effect of then resizing the search box and URL bar again, the combined effect is that as you drag the window to be smaller or larger everything jolts left and right as if having some kind of seizure as different icons appear/disappear. I don't know what the best solution to this would be, but there must be a better way. Maybe a flexible space that uses up the equivalent of one icon that will squeeze and expand such that removing an icon will never suddenly make the search box and URL bar larger, so you then have a smoother change in size. [ico][ico][ico][ico] [spc][ico][ico][ico] [sp][ico][ico][ico] [s][ico][ico][ico] [][ico][ico][ico] So as the window/toolbar gets smaller, first you replace the leftmost icon with the space placeholder, then make that space smaller until it is zero, and then you replace the next icon with a space placeholder and so on. The code for this probably exists already for the flexible toolbar space, so perhaps it just needs to be re-used as part of whatever routine is adding and removing toolbar icons on a resize. ...

It would be great to have an option to turn off the badge that shows which profile is currently active. With “badge,” I mean the small overlay icon that appears on the app icon in the taskbar! ... View more

The new profiles are really great because they make it easy to manage multiple accounts on social media platforms and to separate all the passwords between private and work-related ones. However, the default settings like search engine, tools, etc., are unlikely to change much, as they are a matter of personal preference that will probably apply to all profiles. That's why I would really appreciate it if I could copy my existing settings and data when creating a new profile. ... View more

I don't like the button on the video Itself to get the video into Picture-in-Picture mode. You can only switch the button from right to left or hide it completely. I want that the button only shows up in the address bar, but disabling the setting "Enable Picture-in-Picture video controls" hides it there too. ... View more

The new sidebar for tabs is great, but the bookmark bar sometimes shift it. In my case, i have the bookmark toolbar show up only on new tabs and not on others. So whenever i switch from a used tab to an empty tab, the bookmark bar pops up and pushes the tab icons on the sidebar down, which isnt a bug or problem i believe, but it is kind of weird to see. If the bookmark toolbar is shifted to the right, adjacent to the sidebar instead of on top of the sidebar, it might fix it.

I'm using the firefox labs feature which automatically pops out videos on tab change. This feature is rad, and I hope it's here to stay, but a small improvement would be to add a "minimize" button or adjust the return to tab button.  Why? Sometimes I'm listening to something, that I don't need the visual feedback of, and I want to continue to listen to the video, but the PiP window is obstructing the content I'm currently viewing. And the only two options I have are the "X", which also stops the playback and the "send back to tab", but this also takes me back to the original tab. Having an option to minimze the player, maybe with only playback controls exposed, would be great. Or have it remember that you sent it back to the tab so that it wont pop out again on tab change (Overideable with a button/keycombination maybe?) Currently, I'm having to work around this issure by "X"-ing the PIP, and then using the media control buttons to start playback again. But then I will have to this dance again if I accidentally hit the tab on tab change. ... View more

I use the "generate password" function on a web page with one click all the time - it's very easy and convenient. But it is not uncommon for me to have to manually add passwords in advance. And that's where the convenience is lost, because I have to open a third-party password generator. One button of the generator, to the right of the password field in the add record window, would make life much easier. ... View more
