Address bar options allow you to choose whether or not browsing history, bookmarks, open tabs etc are suggested. I think the algorithm for the order of these suggestions is the order in the settings page. It would be great to allow the user to chnage that order, for example to give priority to bookmarks over browsing history. I'd note that search options allow you to choose whether search suggestions are shown ahead of browsing history. ... View more

It often happens that we work with several open windows, each of which has several open tabs; at this point it is impossible to find where the tab I'm interested in is... Why not put the tab search functionality in the Window menu, or something that makes me understand and search in which windows I have a particular tab open? This would be very, very useful indeed... Thanks for your attention p.g. ... View more

In the process of moving over from Opera, so far I've adjusted well but there's two key features I miss. What I miss the most, a massive creature comfort for someone who does alot of reading, Clicking the active tab to scroll to the top, and being able to click it again to return to where I was. The home button emulates it to an extent, but being able to do that & return in 1 click, I miss that. Otherwise, selecting text in Opera GX has a popup context menu, it allows you to copy, search, goto, etc. without right clicking, just a changeable delay before it pops up above your selection. That functionality is available in Swift Selection Search I've linked below, but one big thing its missing is: If you select something like "$45", it'll take in context and popup your local currency equivalent, select something like 4x20 and it'll popup "=80" and you could hover over the popup and it would change to "Copy", maybe "4:30 (GMT-6)" to local time, temperature conversions, etc. Small things overall, but the utility of these had me itching to go back before I found Swift Selection Search Editing this in a little afterwards: In Opera if you have two duplicate tabs open and you hover over one of them, the other gets highlighted in the tab bar, this is massive for clarity when crawling through stacks of tabs. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/swift-selection-search/ ...

The Add-ons Manager page (about:addons) doesn't allow to Find in page. It has a search field, but it only searches online in addons.mozilla.org. This is wholly inadequate once one has more than a couple of screenfulls of add-ons. In my case, I have over 80 add-ons enabled (and many more disabled). Whenever I have to find the right one for anything (enabling or disabling, changing preferences) it's a pain, since I have to scan the list one by one, check whether the name relates to what I want, and try to remember what each one is for. Ideally we would be able to search for a string appearing in the name, description or release notes of the add-ons.   ... View more

Add an option to the URL search suggesitions to reopen the current tab in a container I know this might not be useful to a lot of people but i think it will be pretty useful to people like power user like who use the Keyboard a lot. Maybe this might also help in some accessibility, but i don't much about that ... View more

I love using the search icons in the awesome bar. Unfortunately, when I want to search for things that I've already got recorded history on, the history options in Firefox Suggest override the visibility of the search icons (which are below Firefox Suggest, at the very bottom). Moving the search icons to the top permanently (above Firefox Suggest) would resolve this. ... View more

There should be a way in Firefox for when making a bookmark to later not show it in the search/address bar suggestions. Currently, there is only a way to disable bookmarks entirely from being shown as suggestions. But I think it would be more helpful to leave the suggestions on while only hiding specific private bookmarks. ... View more

I've had trouble before noticing where the found text is on my screen.  I realized a feature Windows had to visually indicate where the mouse was could work here too.  They have an accessibility feature that you can have a key press trigger a visual reminder of where the mouse pointer is.  No need to wiggle it (if that's hard to do). I'm picturing a temporary animation of some sort to happen at the found location.  It might invert the colors, or add a wavy halo around the entry.  Even circles appearing and either expanding or concentrating on the find result.  The movement should help shift people's eyes to it. And I don't know how it'd be best to trigger it.  Should it happen for all results?  Or a new button that'll ping the currently found element? Today I kept trying to move up/down the list to see if the colors would become apparent for the hidden elements (saw 3-4 out of 6 copies, and they were really obvious in titles).  Or I turned on the Highlight All feature.  It didn't help for new elements...  I swear there were some hidden copies of the text, and the find feature wouldn't expand them. In that case I'd want the element the find stopped at to be highlighted.  Either the button or text that likely is related to the find result.  I assume they're held inside some other element that can be seen. ...

On some web browsers  (such as Maxthon, Cent-browser ), if you've copied some text, you can easily paste&go it by right-clicking the new-tab button. If it's a URL , it just goes to the website. If not, it performs a search of it. As it's on the new-tab button, it will do it on a new tab instead of current one. Please offer such a functionality. Attached a sample of how it looks on Maxthon. Optionally, also offer an API for addons to handle this operation. Currently I couldn't find any addon that does it, and even one that does it via a toolbar button of the addon itself. Only similar thing is this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/paste-and-go-key But it works only on current tab, and can only handle URLs, meaning it doesn't do search&go.   ...

When entering or editing a bookmark and choosing the location dropdown to select where you want to put it, you are presented with a list -- which can be extensive -- of all your bookmark folders to search through manually. What is desperately needed here is a search function, so that you can quickly find or at least narrow down the choices for the bookmark folder you're looking for. Unless this feature is in there already and I'm somehow missing it (please advise me if so) this would be a really helpful addition. ... View more

I have seen a rather clever prompt by a large software publisher to change my search engine and start page and almost clicked "Yes". For most of non technical users, it may be really troubling and they may even blame Firefox (updates) for the change. Story/comments are there: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/yq98qm/microsofts_evil_genius_plan_to_display_this/ I wonder if it is possible to display a non obtrusive prompt like "Know your rights" when first launched to inform user that their search engine and/or start page has been changed since last launch. Perhaps an option to revert them to their original ones? The idea is to warn and offer "fix" option but not to break the workflow. E.g. no popups etc. ... View more

When I know a certain setting I want to change but don’t know where it is. It takes me a bit to go though multiple menus just to find what I want. There is no convent search settings in the setting page either on top or bottom to use to instantly find what I want. Please add search setting bar to mobile or if already added, add on to the top of setting page. ... View more

I appreciate the effort and work that has gone into Firefox Suggest, but I find that it obscures and hides the real source of the found URLs. One no longer has any way to know if it's from the browser history or bookmarks or, potentially, from external sources. "Have I visited page X before?" With Firefox Suggest, I can't tell. The many potential sources for "Firefox Suggest" makes it like an opaque black box in everyday use. And even if external sources are disabled, the fact that there even exists a doubt, as "Firefox Suggest" is presented as a "catch-it-all" concept, is itself a problem. So a constructive idea: it would be very comforting if at least local results would be clearly indicated in the results in the address bar. And preferably also bring back the distinction of "history" and "bookmarks". Thanks for considering it! 🙂 Love Firefox! ❤ ... View more
