Hi, I think that "feature" that selects your content of URL if you typed something at new panel and unclick and click back to that panel is unnecesary and it's more like annoying than feature. Detailed step-by-step how you can use that "feature": Open new panel Type something in URL bar Click to any other opened panel Click back to the first panel with something typed into URL Content/Text in that URL bar will be auto-sellected I had Google Chrome before FireFox and there don't exist this "feature" so I usually don't think about this and I will continue typing and at FireFox it deletes. Slightly annoying End     ... View more

Since the newer versions of Firefox, the gaps between the bookmarks in the dropdown menu are wider, probably for the use with touch devices. I would like to have an option for this distance to see more bookmarks at a time. A good location for this option might be the Customise toolbar page. ... View more

Right now, the context menu for extensions/add-ons looks like this: Some suggestions: - Remove "Report Extension" - this is (hopefully) rarely required, and is too easy to accidentally click! If you need to report an add-on, it can be done in about:addons anyways - Add "Disable Extension" - I think this is a pretty common use case, for troubleshooting, testing etc - Remove "Remove Extension" (maybe?) - I think "Manage Extension" can be used instead, and the extension can be removed from there. Worth noting that some extensions have a lot of user data stored - which gets wiped when an extension is removed (doesn't get re-instated even if you re-install the extension). BTW, extensions vs add-ons: are they interchangable - are they the same thing? It's a bit muddy! ... View more

I am operating a server in my home network, which has an external domain name and an HTTPS certificate. My annoyance is that because the certificate only applies to said domain name, FF always gives an SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN warning when I want to access the server using its private network address. I understand the importance of this warning for inexperienced users, but I'd still appreciate an option to create bypass rules for security warnings. I've tried adding an exception in the Servers tab of the Certificate Manager, but it doesn't work. ... View more

In Firefox, I find myself duplicating tabs for various reasons, but it's only possible with the mouse. I like controlling Firefox functions with the keyboard, as it's more convenient for controlling from a remote keyboard than a mouse sometimes (Maybe I'm just weird). I would appreciate a keyboard shortcut for duplicating the current tab, staying on the first tab if possible ("When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is unchecked, but it still switches to the new duplicate). ...

What's the point of categorizing #bookmarks into folders if it's so slow, cumbersome, and angering to scroll though many #folders when trying to find one to add a bookmark to? ... View more

Firefox isn't with useful tool, which is tabs suspender, it saves of much hardware consume and doesn't allow your PC stay slowness and/or your own internet, because tabs can consume internet and recourses in background without you use it, so that's important and should be in all popular browsers including Firefox. I recommend they base on auto tab discard and possibly performance tool (by Microsoft Edge), because auto tab discard extension is really complete and very useful, mainly it saves where you stop on certain time video and performance tool saves much your recourses on your computer and is very efficient:   ...

Can we have all the customization options in json format so that it's easy to modify from outside and also have it in gui in the app like in vs code or the new microsoft edge? We can then have a nice theme store with user customizable options which are easily changeable on any text editor. Customization like where the tabs should display, horizontal or vertical, top or bottom etc. ... View more

I noticed there was a setting called "Website appearance" which doesn't have an automatic day/night cycle for switching, like based on time or sunrise/sunset.   Also, I would love to have the browser to adopt whatever system accent is being used. In my case KDE. Currently the only way for me to even change colours on the browser is a full blown theme. How about some advanced option like KDE theme editing? ... View more

I have been seeing more security warnings of late, indicating that there is some sort of problem with a website / host, such as deprecated TLS, an invalid certificate, etc. While this is good, I'd love to see something in place that would make it a lot easier to share this info with the people in charge of the website, i.e., those who can do something about it. If I know that the owner / host would like to know that their website is inaccessible to people with updated browsers -- such as small businesses, non-profits, or hobbyists -- I will take screenshots of the alert(s) and email it to them. I wonder if there is a better way, and something that could better inform the people on the backend. I don't have a specific recommendation of what to do, but maybe some kind of "share" button that could automatically generate a message / screenshot / instructions for the owners & hosts. What do you all think? ... View more

There used to be a warning to ask whether I wanted to quit, but this has been removed, and it also doesn't appear to be configurable? I noticed the "Confirm before closing multiple tabs", but it's not the same and gives a false impression when quitting the browser - it gives the impression that the tabs will all be closed and not restored when restarting. Even if I only have 1/2 tabs, I'd still like the option to have a warning please.   I don't understand why all UI/UX interfaces are becoming more opinionated and against users, instead of helping users configure their environment to how they like, companies such as yours and Microsoft are removing more and more options?! ...

Currently the Bookmarks Toolbar option to "Only show on New Tab" is, depending on how you look at it, either not as useful as it could be or misleading. It would be ideal to extend the option to encompass all new tabs, not just Firefox Home. I prefer new tabs to be a blank page, but I would like the Bookmarks Toolbar to appear and then disappear as this setting would seem to enable. Failing that, it would be much less confusing to label the option "Only show on Firefox Home." This would avoid the confusion I and others (e.g., 1 and 2) have had trying to figure out why the option wasn't working. ... View more

This would be good as it would make it transparent and very easy to find out what features and enhancements are being worked on. Ideally it would be something similar to what Microsoft has for Edge: https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/whats-next   ... View more

While the "controversy" surrounding Firefox Proton has mostly cooled down, there are still people who prefer the style of "Quantum", mostly for Accessibility reasons, and have gone on to adopt CSS as a means to make the UI more Legible. I myself am a fan of Proton for the most part, but I'll confess that while it looks beautiful by default on one laptop with a more modern monitor, the monitor on the other suffers from being a little less legible with how subtle certain dividers and shades are. On one computer, I would certainly appreciate a different "style", while maintaining the default Proton "Style" on the other. Styles should be considered distinct from Themes for the following reason: while Themes affect the colors of the UI, and whether the browser recognizes a light or dark theme, Styles affect the UI in more tangible ways, such as what size certain aspects are (tabs, bookmarks, buttons, etc), how they are differentiated from each other (how clear dividers are, differences in shade, etc), and how accessible they are to users (the removal of "compact" mode also comes to mind). Instead of giving the browser a complete default UI refresh (as Proton is already an acceptable default), I propose presenting the user with the option to switch between different styles based on their preference. A good starting point might be emulating the style of older Firefox releases (such as Quantum), but really all that matters is that each style is distinct enough from each other to offer clear pros and cons that would benefit different users with different use cases. Perhaps Styles could even be user-configurable in the same way Themes are. Smart Users can already configure CSS to their pleasing, but they can't share their Styles in a way more convenient than a Github page and installation instructions. In contrast, just as Mozilla hosts a website for installing different Add-Ons and Themes, a way to curate and share Styles would be most welcome. ... View more

I ❤️ the feature of Firefox called Reader View. I’ve been a fan for many years.  BUT, if you leave the popup in order to use the buttons while you read along, it blocks some of the text as the text automatically scrolls.  Because there's a lot of empty space on the side, could the popup start on the other side and appear over empty space rather than the text? Here is for example how I implement this on my end: /** for the "reader view" popup to NOT overlap the text **/ .dropdown .dropdown-popup { inset-inline-start: -260px !important; } ... View more
