Mozilla Connect

Suggestion: Allow the user to automatically sign in to their Firefox account on supported sites (i.e. Mozilla Connect) when the account is linked on Firefox for Android. Reasoning: The desktop version of Firefox already does this and Google Chrome already does this for Google sign-ins on Android. ... View more

The betterfox guide available in GitHub provides many tweaks for faster and smoother browsing experience, even there are preferences for 120hz display, 90hz display..so why can't firefox natively take advantage/enable a set of preference after determining device capability? For example if someone is using 120hz refresh rate display, firefox should tweaks those preferences which will give a smoother experience... similarly if the device has larger RAM which is pretty common these device, firefox should tweak the settings to maximize the speed and experience. Personally I am using a 12GB RAM phone with 120hz display and tweaked some preferences as per betterfox, now it is faster and smoother  than any other chromium browsers..even chrome will shy away. Unlike desktop it is painful to edit settings one by one, please consider the same and enable some settings ,(automatically based on device capability or some end user settings so that user can enable manually, which will result in modification of bulk of preferences for that purpose) Reference: https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox   ...

In my browser version of Firefox, my bookmarks are organized in folders. For example, I have a folder called Work, containing work-related links. I sometimes access my desktop bookmarks on the Android app of Firefox via the account sync. The other day, however, I was looking to access a specific resource that I know was in my Work bookmark folder. So, I typed "Work" and, to my surprise, the folder did not appear as part of the suggestions. Individual links appear (like, if I have a bookmark named "GitLab", i just have to type it in the search bar to have it suggested - but the folders don't appear. Adding folders to the suggestions is just a minor thing, but that could end up being very practical - moreover since accessing the desktop bookmarks from the app is not that straightforward (we need to tap on the three dots, then "bookmarks", then "desktop bookmarks") - while accessing them from the search bar would allow to gain a few seconds. TL;DR: Add the desktop bookmarks folders as suggestions when typing in the search bar of Firefox on smartphone. ... View more

I wish I could delete site data just for a single site from the data deletion menu in settings. Like also having a list of which sites have saved things. I know that there is a button to delete for the current site behind the lock icon in addressbar. But when I use that, it does not close the websites tabs. So they can resave again before I close them. If they can't, how? This is confusing. What would be extremely rad: Having multiple data profiles for sites that are im/exportable. My usecase for that is mobile sites that don't have classic accounts. There are many reasons to have multiple profiles with those. ... View more

This may be a bit of far-fetched pipe dream, but Mozilla could use a new edge in the current age of browser technology. This idea is basically to create an in-browser Notion-alternative around open or saved web URLs, possibly with some graph view (a la Cotoami/Obsidian/etc.) which probably sounds crazy but hear me out. Individuals and organizations are growing out of web-based office tools that rigidly define types of "files" and instead moving towards powerful and intuitive everything-workspace platforms like Notion and Airtable. With the address bar in Firefox auto-completing to suggest tabs open elsewhere alongside bookmarks, and features/plugins like Tree Style Tabs, and Tab Grouping, and Multi-Acconut Containers, the functionality of simple Bookmarks has a lot of overlap with "open" tabs and one day the distinction might disappear. I'm envisioning a "workspace" view, which by default might just lay out all your bookmarks and tabs as thumbnails grouped by tab-group or folder, but which can be arbitrarily rearranged, annotated, combined with notes (rip), and shared or published in something akin to a mix of social bookmarking, wiki, or inspiration/interest boards with optional integration with some sort of social media platform *cough cough* Pocket *cough* Maybe this could even be an avenue for monetization as organizations could want to pay to have this hosted with access restricted to company email addresses. ...

Currently, if a person tries to save a web page, they have a couple choices built-in to Firefox: They can save a page using "Web Page, complete", which saves a bunch of separate files and does not retain the current view. They can use the "Responsive Design Mode" (CTRL-Shift-M) to take a screenshot, but it only saves an image of the portion of the page which is within view in the browser window. There is also the option in most Windows computers to "Print to PDF" in some way, but this usually doesn't print the entire page, or it doesn't print the current view. Firefox should give users the choice to save an image (in a standard image format) or a PDF of the current view, including any portion of the web page which is available by scrolling but isn't visible on the screen. It is often important to capture details from a current view that the save and screenshot features simply cannot capture. The only way to accomplish this now is by laboriously screenshotting and scrolling and screenshotting and scrolling until all of the page is in images, then stitching those images together in some image manipulation software. It should not be difficult to create the ability to take a screenshot of the entire page in image or PDF formats. If Firefox can simulate many different screen sizes in "Responsive Design Mode", there is no particular reason why it must do so on the screen itself, but this could be done in memory alone for the purpose of saving the page. Please add a true screenshot feature to Firefox! ... View more

The average user saves web pages to look at later or to send to someone else... or if they don't currently, they want to save web pages to do these things. Firefox only has one native method of saving a web page complete with all images and content: "Web Page, complete". This is an absolutely terrible solution: It doesn't save as a single file. It saves dozens or even hundreds of files for a single page. One sample page that I saved was quite simple, but had 160 separate files and a folder for that one saved page! Moving the saved web page can be difficult for typical users, since the necessary folder may not get moved. Sending the saved page to others can be difficult and confusing for non-technical users. Files are not compressed, which saves space. Firefox used to have built-in support for the MAFF format, which was very useful...but it was removed several years ago for reasons which are unclear. Most of the major modern browsers have native support for the MHTML/MHT format. Of leading Windows-based browsers, only Firefox lacks this major and important feature. Firefox should provide the ability to save web pages with native support, in more than one format. Why? All other major modern browsers provide this support. Those browsers provide that support because it is demanded by users! Why is Firefox so far behind??? Users want to be able to save web pages which are important to them for many and various reasons. It's important to save things like filled forms, confirmations, pages with information of special interest, information of personal importance, etc. The list of reasons are endless! Web pages saved on other browsers cannot be opened with Firefox, which means maintaining a second browser to open those saved pages. These pages can come from friends or work colleagues and can be very important in daily life. If we cannot open them, it puts us behind other browsers. Typical users do not know how to move or to send "complete" web pages. They send just the HTML file and everything else gets lost, or they move it to another directory or folder and it doesn't contain the images or other function it had. For the average user, the "Web Page, complete" function is complex and useless. Typical users do not want to go through the complexity of finding and installing an extension to do a simple and common task. The first problem is that they may not even know what they are looking for, so they either spend hours searching through extensions or they give up...and switch to another browser which can accomplish the task. Firefox should be more compatible with file formats, not less. The primary value of Firefox among a field of other browsers is its feature set. Web Archive File format capability is an important feature which Firefox lacks and other browsers have. Firefox is incompatible with common standards in this regard--meaning that it is well behind the competition. Due to the complexity of the "Web Page, complete" save method, users may lose valuable data, which they have saved for a particular reason. It is extremely inconvenient to move hundreds of files and folders to relocate a few web pages. Important files can be easily lost if a user fails to move the folder as well. It would be much better to provide a native single-file solution for saving web pages than the current Firefox solution, reducing the complexity of this common task for the average person. It is difficult for the typical user to differentiate between single-page HTML and HTML pages saved as separate files. If they want to send an HTML file to a friend, they must either bundle up a bunch of files (which is beyond the technical expertise of many people) or point them to a website...or just give up. Most users don't know how to find an extension to save single-file web pages. If they do find one, it does not support the industry standard, so they cannot open similar files sent from others who do not use a Firefox browser.   What is the solution? Add native Web Archive File save and read support to Firefox for the following formats: MHTML/MHT -- This is the most common format, supported by all major browsers, except Firefox. Adding this function would make Firefox more competitive and more compatible, not to mention more useful. MAFF -- This format was actually created by Mozilla and used in Firefox, but was abandoned years ago for no good reason. The advantage of this format is that it uses the ZIP standard to compress a web page, creating not only a single file backup of the page, but saving space as well. Webarchive -- This format is used by the Safari browser on Mac computers. A lot of misguided and misinformed people use Macs. They may want to exchange web pages with their friends, family, or work colleagues, so including this format will allow that.   Later, support could be added for: WARC -- This is the Internet Archive's "Web ARChive" format, which can be used for saving entire sites. It could be used to save an entire set of tabs, complete with contents. HTMLD -- This is the "HTML Directory" format, which can also be used for sites and for web servers. It could be used to save tab sets as well. These two formats would put Firefox far ahead of the competition and add a feature that would add tremendous value.   The minimum support for a native Web Archive Format should be MHTML/MHT because it is the most common format in use. I would also argue for the MAFF format, which would offer support for orphaned files created by Firefox in the past...and should be easy to implement if the other can be implemented... After all, Firefox already has the code on hand. If security is a concern, then have this feature turned off by default, available to activate within Settings. No browser should ever be so secure that it is useless. Security should always be coupled with ability for software to have value.   ADDING MHTML/MHT AND MAFF SUPPORT SHOULD BE A TOP PRIORITY FOR FIREFOX! ... View more

Tldr: it would be much more usable to have the back button return to History search results, and also to be able to right click those results to open in a new tab. When using the history feature, most of the time I am looking for something but I have done a bunch of looking for that thing and so my history is kind of polluted with false results. These results might be a month back. If I'm trying to go through those false results, I need to open more than one. The history search feature, though, doesn't persist beyond a single click, and does not have the opening new tab function. So, if I am to go through those results, I have to keep redoing the same history search. ... View more

Managing Firefox bookmarks in the Android version can be made much more efficient by adding more functions like:  Option to select an undetermined amount of favorites to move them to a personalized folder, thus facilitating the time that the user takes with many favorites, since currently it is only possible to move 1 favorite at a time to a given folder. Option to move any bookmark up or down in any folder's list of bookmarks and/or the option to place them in alphabetical order (A-Z)/(Z-A), creation date. Option to Import bookmarks from other browsers and also Export bookmarks to save them as .html or .txt file for backup. This improvement will certainly be very useful and will help users who use these features at all times and which the Firefox PC version does very well. ... View more
