Mozilla Connect

      When you enable "android private window visual refresh" in nimbus expirements you get a flame button on the left side of the toolbar instead of the home button. If you press the flame button all tabs will be closed in private mode. I like this feature but i now have enabled menu redesign and navigation toolbar in secret settings. It looks great but the flame button isn't anywhere to find with those option on so i hope mozilla will add the flame button somewhere on the toolbar to let people use both settings.     ...

What made Firefox successful in the past? It was simply fast, adaptable and user friendly. Then Chrome came and did exactly the same. But now its faster, and has very similar Addons at least. It sucks, but people dont seem to care about privacy? Is that too short? What if they care about privacy, why should they use Firefox? Firefox is not a privacy out of the box browser. Its a flawed concept. Everything a product stands for, has to be actually enabled by default!   I use Arkenfox, and I used Librewolf before. But Librewolf is slower than Arkenfox with native Fedora Firefox, so I chose the extremely manual way. But even for me that is work. On other installs I simply set some GUI settings and thats it. No RFP, no webgl, useragent or canvas randomization...   Firefox is not a privacy browser, even though its easy to make it one. Privacy is literally the only reason why people would use it!   Firefoxes userbase is big enough. I dont even know how to donate to the Browser, I already did to the other Mozilla and in the end didnt care anymore. If every Firefox user donates like 1€/month, its enough to get rid of the shady search engine deals.   Those Search engines and useless presets make Firefox a useless browser. For normies that dont know its the only private browser once configured, will simply use Brave. Having Google by default makes it useless, Chrome is the Google Browser. Firefox needs to take this step: get rid of all the crap that makes the internet the place it is. Ads are flawed. Invasive search engines should be removed. Having no vision for this gives people no reason to use Firefox. A privacy browser does not include Google out of the box.   Why not? Block Ads by default Be very secure by default Use containers by default Simply integrate Arkenfox as an out of the Box setting. Have a "secure mode" toggle that enables this   Arkenfox is usable for daily life! Really! And even with Noscript it is. The only thing stopping Firefox from doing this out of the box is the shady Ad deals. If they dont rely on those companies, why not just block all Ads?   Why develop "privacy preserving Ads" techniques, and not just a way to donate to websites you often visit? With crypto, or anything else. Maybe have a database and donate bigger amounts to fewer sites to reduce transactions. Everything anonymized.   Firefox is a great Toolbox. But as nobody uses a browser like that, its current state is useless for people. Without out of the box privacy and real innovations, it has nothing to offer compared to Chrome or Edge. ...

Expand firefox translations with a option to translate words on a picture. ... View more

Firefox currently performs translations on-device, which is good, but it’s slow and has some drawbacks (for example, when you choose to show the original text, it reloads the page). Therefore, an additional option to translate from the cloud via Google instead of on-device could be introduced. ... View more

To reveal the Tabs dialog in Firefox Mobile I'd like to swipe up from the bottom of the screen. I think this would be more ergonomic and intuitive, as you don't need to (reveal the toolbar), focus your eyes on the tabs button, move your finger on the button and press it. Furthermore, my index finger is usually already at the bottom of the screen.     ... View more

I am glad it is now possible to set the Firefox Mobile Beta to always Request the Desktop Site. While this is great it would be better if this was not only a global setting. I only have a handful of sites I want the desktop version consistently. It would be great to make Request the Desktop Site a per-site setting (as well as global for those who want that). This is the way it works in Chrome-based browsers and hopefully can be added here. ... View more

When switching to Reader View all images of the article disappear. Not useful when explicative articles tell "It's shown in the picture below. As you can see…", not-so-easy understand news articles without pictures which show how much terrible a quake is, and so on. When an image is included in the text the user must switch to the page, search the picture the text is focusing on (starting from the page's begin because Reader makes text shorter than the article on the webpage text is catched from). ...

Ask the user if you want to open the link in normal mode or private mode.   ... View more

Many users find this popup incredibly annoying, especially when attempting to browse and download multiple images in quick succession as it takes up a quarter of the screen. Scrolling down makes it go away but dare to scroll up (say, to search something else) it's back again. Closing every individual pop-up is just tedious. All methods to permanently disable it are desktop only, they all use about:config, which android Firefox does not have. ... View more

In my personal and work use, I have never intentionally used private tabs. My browsing history is important to me, as well as the convenience of logging in with passwords. The only reason I've used private tabs is when I accidentally click "Open link in private tab". This sometimes creates confusion because I couldn't find the link I opened among the regular tabs and then I find out that I accidentally opened the link in a private tab. It's easier to avoid this mistake in Firefox desktop because the mouse pointer is more precise. In mobile devices however, I've frequently opened a private tab accidentally because the buttons where I press my finger are much larger. Please add a setting in Firefox Android where the privacy mode is completely disabled. I don't want to care about which tab I opened because I only want to use regular tabs. Sort of like a reverse Firefox Focus. ... View more

Mozilla already offers apks on their ftp servers, but as far as I know, they are not self-updatable. This would make it easier for users without Google Play. Signal allows users to download such apk and when an update arrives, you can decide to install it or not. ... View more

When I selected a color, I found that the browser tab, address bar, browser settings, "Firefox" logo and other areas did not change the color, which is too incongruous, it looks uncomfortable, since I chose a color, all areas should use one color, this is my first suggestion. The second suggestion is that the same color should be divided into light and dark colors, just like Chrome. The third suggestion is that when I choose a wallpaper, there will be a line below the search box that says who posted the image and where, and I suggest moving this line to the bottom right corner of the browser, appearing below the search box to make me look uncomfortable Chinese translation：当我选定一个颜色后，发现浏览器的标签页、地址栏 浏览器设置“Firefox”logo等区域没有改变颜色，这太不协调了，看起来不舒服，既然选择了一种颜色就应该全部区域全面页面都使用一种颜色，这是我的第一个建议。第二个建议是：同一种颜色应该分为浅色与深色，就像Chrome一样。第三个建议是，当我选择一张壁纸时，在搜索框下方会有一行字，说图片由谁在什么地方发布，我建议时把这行字移到浏览器右下角，出现在搜索框下方使我看起来不舒服 This is the interface where Google Chrome selects the same color in light and dark mode   ...

On the Android App, hitting the "back" button will eventually return you to the homepage. However, it leaves the current tab open.  It would be nice if there was an option to have the current tab close when "Back" returns you to the homepage.  I find that 90% of the time I dont want the tab anymore and have to manually close it.   This could be implemented as checkbox option in the "Customise Homepage" settings. Another option would be to simply reuse the last tab when opening something from the homepage screen. Either option would solve the tab accumulation problem. ... View more

Being able to customize the toolbar in the desktop version is a great feature, we should be able to do the same in the Android version. For instance, I would like to remove the home button, which I never use, and add the refresh button, which I use all the time. Yes, there's limited room, but it should be up to us to decide. ...

I am once again asking for a new feature. I just discovered that there is no way to save messages from K-9 (soon-to-be Thunderbird for Android) as PDF that can be then attached to another e-mail. I can export it using system share feature (which by the way has terrible name in K-9 – in Polish it's just "Forward (alternative)"), but it only shares it as txt, which doesn't look great or fully preserve formatting, for example text color (not to mention, I then have to export is as txt again to save it on my phone and add as another mail attachment). While most people probably won't find this feature very useful, it will bring mobile Thunderbird a step closer to feature parity with desktop version and add another benefit for people considering switching from Gmail, Outlook and other mobile email clients. ...

Before Firefox Daylight (79, fall 2020), the homescreen for the Android Version of Firefox consisted of a few customizable tabs, including Bookmarks and History. From daylight onward, the only homepage option was "Top Sites", with the option to both pin specific sites and prevent "recently visited sites" from appearing. As of Nightly 102, however, it is impossible to disable "frequently visisted sites", leaving the home page top sites as a hodgepodge of both pinned and "frequently visited". Top Sites can be disabled, but that will disable pinned and frequently visited alike.   Currently, the closest equivalent is "Recent Bookmarks", although this is not nearly as customizable as desired.   Some ideas.   1. Return the option to disable " frequent sites" without disabling top sites. 2. Further develop "recent bookmarks" into something more customizable, so that you could pin, for example, desktop bookmarks to the homepage. 3. Allow extensions to override the homepage like on Desktop, allowing for configurations developed by the community and users.   The foremost option is the easiest to consider, and would please me well enough. The second option would please pre-daylight users who long for the older workflow. The latter would be dependent on extension permissions and support on android, but would encourage user participation and customization. ... View more
