When "Search tabs" is selected from RHS dropdown menu, the "Tabs" search box hops over to the left. Intuitively eyes are fixed on the Search tabs banner expecting* the entry field to appear in the same place (to enter free search text), but the entry field and "Tabs" box opens to the centre, left of where eyes are focused. I'm wondering if there is a reason that the text entry "Tabs" box which opens to the left can't be repositioned to where eye focus is at the time "Search tabs" is clicked. *Disclaimer: I find this behaviour irritating. No matter how often I use the search tabs option I expect it to open in the same area where I'm focused, but of course I accept others may not have an issue with this. ... View more

On Android keyboards, there is typically a search button located about where F3 is located on a desktop keyboard. I couldn't help but notice that this button currently serves no purpose in the firefox android app. I was wondering if it would be possible that this button focuses the cursor to the browser's search bar, thus saving either a tap, or a bunch of tabbing. If there is already an alternative shortcut for this, please let me know. Also, pointers to the location of all keyboard shortcuts on the android app would be appreciated regardless. Thanks, and have a wonderful day! 🙂 ... View more

It seems the search suggestion images only work for Google right now even though other search engines (Bing, Kagi) supports them. It would therefore make sense to support their implementation as well (or try using/finding a standard) ... View more

When searching something on firefox mobile you go from the search page, to the page you were last on, before finally loading in the page that you searched for. This creates a lot of visual chaos and in my opinion it would be preferable to go straight to the loading page of your search. ... View more

I like to search stuff with different search engines which I choose by typing their shortcuts. And sometimes I want to add several shortcuts for some engines. But right now I can specify only one shortcut (or two if it was added via "add" button (that is available after changing field in about:config) or via extension). Thus, it would be great if there is an ability to add an unlimited number of shortcuts to each search engine. ... View more

On Android, if you want to add a search engine that isn't preinstalled, you have to manually add it, which can be tedious and search suggestions don't work when they are added. To fix this, a user could tap and hold on a compatible search engine and tap something like "Add search engine". The desktop version of Firefox already supports adding search engines without having to manually type the URL, as seen on this guide: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-engine-firefox ...

Would be great if search suggestions, URLs, etc. could be curated bottom-up when the address bar/Toolbar has been set to the bottom of the mobile browser. Having to reach for a search result at the top of the page undoes the ease of a bottom toolbar. Hopefully can be taken up for consideration. Apologies if it already has been posted. I couldn't find mention on searching, hence the fresh post. Thanks! ... View more

It would be good if bookmarks could be edited/deleted from the search result (in the bookmarks section). Currently I have to find the bookmark, open it and then edit/delete it using the star icon. ... View more

You should be able to set any website with a search function as your default search engine like you can in Chrome instead of being confined to the small list of search engines that Firefox provides you. ... View more

In other browsers, if www.youtube.com is type into the address bar, you can press the Tab key to search Youtube within the address bar itself. This is a feature I really miss from those others browsers and would love if it could be implemented to Mozilla. It sounds like such a simple feature but I do enjoy the convenience it provides in being able to skip past having to manually enter Youtube's site and then navigating to their search bar. Thanks! ...

Right now the only way to search multi-Account Containers is to click on the extension button (there is a search bar: now this is great but I rarely use it because I open containers by right-clicking the + button in the tab bar and then click on the container I want, having search in that list would be great for users with lots of containers, which tends to grow when your whole family treat you as their IT slave (I am not that techie)   thank you Firefox Team, specially for this amazing feature     ...

It will be cool if you can add and remove search engines in Firefox, just like in Vivaldi. I don't think it's hard to do. ... View more

When getting to the list of all synchronized tabs gathered from all other devices, three is a long list to review to find particular tab. I'm using tab groups on three PC's to organize my work. When I go to Android's Firefox all tabs list, this takes lot of time to find something. ... View more

This seems a security breach waiting to happen: the password search tool finds credentials by partial content of passwords. Visually, it appears like showing and copying a password is guarded by entry of the master password. But quite clearly, the search lets us figure out whether or not someone is using a password at all. This is a problem in situations where a user has logged into Firefox, already provided their master password, and walks away from their desk for a couple of minutes. (This happens regularly with many of my clients. People never lock their desktops. They'll even go home without locking their desktop, so maintenance personell has full access to their computers and networks.) ... View more

Dear Firefox Team, I trust this message finds you in good spirits. As an avid user of Firefox, I’ve been contemplating the potential benefits of integrating an AI-driven chat platform within the browser, akin to Microsoft’s Bing Chat and Google’s Bard. This forward-thinking addition could revolutionize the way users interact with Firefox, offering a unique and intelligent communication experience. By incorporating an AI-driven chat feature, Firefox can provide users with personalized assistance, predictive suggestions, and a more intuitive browsing experience. This integration could enhance productivity and engagement, making Firefox not just a browser but a proactive assistant tailored to individual user needs. Moreover, given Firefox’s commitment to privacy, ensuring robust data protection within the AI chat feature would distinguish it from other platforms, aligning with Firefox’s core values. I believe this innovation would not only attract new users but also solidify Firefox’s position as a pioneer in user-centric, intelligent browsing. Thank you for considering this suggestion, and I’m excited about the prospect of Firefox leading the way in AI-enhanced browsing experiences. ___________________________________________ Here are a List of Benefits: 1.

This increased engagement may contribute to higher user retention and satisfaction. 5. Privacy and Security: Firefox’s commitment to privacy can be extended to the chat platform, ensuring robust data protection. This would distinguish Firefox’s AI chat from other mainstream communication tools, attracting users who prioritize privacy. 6. Innovation Leadership: Implementing an AI-driven chat platform would position Firefox as a pioneer in intelligent browsing experiences.

My idea is to enable adding custom search shortcuts, that are different from the search engines you can add with 'Find more search engines' in the settings. For example, I have added search shortcuts for YouTube and Twitter, like in the screenshot. This enables me to search quickly in those sites, however, this is not applicable for websites that were not build with modern search functions and we need to use a different method, that is a hidden feature in Firefox. For example in order to search in Twitch, I need to bookmark the search page, replace the search term with %s and add a keyword, like in the screenshot. The fact that I couldn't find this feature before and the lack of grouping tabs, I switched to a different browser for work, in order to manage my many tickets. It would be great to have both those functionalities in one place and merged, then more people will find this useful and use it. Firefox   ... View more

The Thunderbird Global Search is great. I have many email accounts and folders and do not always remember where an email is located, so for me, Global Search is much faster than Classic Search. I suppose faceted search may be useful if something is misspelled or you do not remember the tense. More often than not, I want an exact match search, not one where multiple words are included. Please add the functionality of double quotes or other method to do an exact match search in Global Search. Thank you ... View more
