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. ... View more

In light of the recently-added tab groups feature, one feature which I think would be really welcome would be a keyboard shortcut (similar to Ctrl + T) which opens a new tab directly to the right of the current tab, in the same group as the currently-active tab. Before I switched from Chrome to Firefox, I was an avid user of the "New Adjacent Tab" extension, which implemented this behaviour. There is a similar add-on for Firefox ("Open Adjacent New Tab") but it does not perfectly replicate the behaviour of the Chrome extension when the currently-selected tab is the rightmost tab in its group. I think this would be a helpful keyboard shortcut to have in Firefox for easier tab management, particularly for creating and managing tabs within groups. ... View more

At some point, Firefox changed the old behavior of downloading opened files temporarily only, and now all files are saved and kept by default. This pollutes the user home directory with files that the user might not have wanted to keep. Even keeping the current behavior as default, having the option visible in preferences will help users understand the browser behavior. It has received sufficient backlash from the community to be considered. Since it is already in about:config, not much effort would go into officially supporting it, but it would guarantee that the option does not quietly disappear. Now, users unsatisfied with this behavior need to search in the internet for a solution that is not guaranteed to exist in futures releases, when it could be another checkbox in the Files and Applications section in Preferences.

I'm personally a heavy tab user but have always wondered why there is almost no support for tab grouping or customization in the native tab bar in Firefox. I think making it able to group like Google Chrome does for example or at least giving more access for extensions and add-ons would significantly improve the UI in that regard. ... View more

From the previous post on Crowdicity: I would like to see vertical tabs baked in. MS Edge now has it out of the box! I currently use addons for this - but there's no way to disable the top tab bar, which duplicates the tabs and takes up space. Vertical tabs (with top bar disabled) would free up more space for web content, which is (usually) vertical. Most screens are widescreen (RIP ThinkPad 4:3 ratios), so the less browser UI at the top/bottom, the more content we can view. The original post received 154 votes and as such was the 3rd highest voted post in the "General" category. ... View more

I believe there should be more customized features with the "right-click: send to AI." Here are the two that would help me enjoy the experience more: Settings to send prompts into a temporary chat (ChatGPT): ChatGPT offers users a way to send prompts into a temporary chat and I believe this a setting we should take advantage of. This means that your "summarize this" and "proofread" prompts won't clutter up your history if you're a frequent user of ChatGPT. If other services offer this, then this should apply to them as well. Customize the right-click menu with user prompts: We should allow users to customize the shortcut prompts to enhance the user experience. Right now the list is limited and would improve if users could create or adjust the prompts to their liking. Settings for these features should be located at the bottom of the list via the right-click window.   ... View more

...just like we can set toolbars in Mac and Windows to auto-hide until we hover over them. I like having all this stuff within easy reach at the top, but it's just way too much clutter when I'm trying to focus on the page I'm using: Also occupies too much vertical real estate forcing scrolling on short pages that would other wise be fully viewable without. (Yes, I am VERY lazy! ;p) I'm aware of the option to set the toolbar to only show on new tabs, but no thanks, I'll take the clutter over that. ... View more

There should be another option in the settings that allows Firefox to attempt to close automatically after an update is found. At the very least, a red icon should appear in the hamburger menu to indicate that an update has been found. Especially on laptops, this right can run for a long time without Firefox ever closing. Solution: - Additional option in the updater settings for updates with automatic closing - For usability reasons, a notification should be sent indicating that a new update has been found, depending on the setting "Ready to install (please close manually)" or (new option) "Firefox will close automatically within the next 10 minutes" ...

With Firefox 138, finally I can use multiple profiles like in Chrome (previously I was using the workaround of containers + containerize extensions)! Love it! But, if possible, I want to have the option to display only one icon in the taskbar (on this case, no profile icon would be displayed over the icon). Similar to Chrome (yes, I know, I know...) Is it possible to have any config to have this single icon? (Imagine a scenario when I'm logged with all my 8 profiles). It could be something in `about:config`. Below, I'm using 2 different profiles: ... View more

The AI in sidebar looks good, but it would be really awesome if you add a shortcut for more usability. Clicking by mouse every time to open chat is very uncomfortable and takes long time! Also it would be convenient to open some items from sidebar menu on the left side, whereas AI opened on the right side. Thanks!  ... 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:   ...
