the only thing i've been missing was a way to deactivate or hide certain bookmarks from popping up in the search results (or recents) when typing in the URL row. i probably have more than 100 bookmarks and many of them start the same, due to me opening certain folders all at once, but never one by one. this would also make me rest more easily whenever i give my phone to someone else, so they dont immediately see all my links i've saved concerning hairloss. ie. when i or someone else starts typing "h" for hotmail, they shouldnt be first recommended a dozen pages for hairloss if i ticked an option for hiding those bookmarks specifically from search results and from recently added. instead, FF should recommend my other bookmarks with h like hotmail, honey, hackerforums, halflife fanpages and whatever else i actually have. and i have a large number of such skippable results, like dozens if not hundreds of saved amazon and other products that i'll order some other day. the only thing i've been missing was a way to deactivate or hide certain bookmarks from popping up in the search results (or recents) when typing in the URL row. i probably have more than 100 bookmarks and many of them start the same, due to me opening certain folders all at once, but never one by one. this would also make me rest more easily whenever i give my phone to someone else, so they dont immediately see all my links i've saved concerning hairloss. ie. when i or someone else starts typing "h" for hotmail, they shouldnt be first recommended a dozen pages for hairloss if i ticked an option for hiding those bookmarks specifically from search results and from recently added. instead, FF should recommend my other bookmarks with h like hotmail, honey, hackerforums, halflife fanpages and whatever else i actually have. and i have a large number of such skippable results, like dozens if not hundreds of saved amazon and other products that i'll order some other day. ...

In the search engine selector, which might contain DuckDuckGo, google & bookmarks, currently what's in the search bar doesn't get searched after choosing one. I'd like for it to be a select & search addition, possibly in the same fashion at it currently is, but to the right of the selections there would be a right arrowhead that would perform the search using the selection option, eg: ▼ default search engine      search engine 1  ►      ...      Bookmarks         ►      ...      Search Settings ...

I think having a way to clear the find field for the find bar might be somewhat simple to implement and I think it would be extremely convenient. Right now, if we do a search and want to search for something else, we have to "manually" clear the find field first. ... View more

While in chrome browser (android) when i type something in the address bar like "shah" it gives me suggestions "Shahrukh Khan" also brief intro "Indian actor and producer" as well as associated brief image or when i type "interst" it gives an suggestion "interstellar" 2014 movie as well as a brief image. But this feature is missing in Firefox android. When i type "shah" it just gives suggestion "Shahrukh Khan" as a plain text, i tried multiple search engines but this remains same. This feature is also present in browsers other than chrome, like lemur, kiwi browser, opera etc. How can i get the same chrome functionality in Firefox, or is there an extension that can do it. This is the sole reason that's preventing me to switch my ecosystem to Firefox completely. ... View more

I lead a local history group and I send all the members a newsletter every week, but I also send messages to some members individually. If I search for messages I've sent to an individual person, I also get all the messages I've sent to ALL the group members. I think that many people would find it useful to be able to search for messages sent to a SINGLE individual only. ... View more

In Firefox  , "Show All History" brings up a separate window showing URLs visited in the past.  Those URLs are divided into categories of increasing age, such as "Today" and "Last 7 days".  If I enter some text into the "Search History" field then the displayed URLs are limited to those that match the search target and the age category.  If I switch to a different age category then the search target is cleared. My suggestion is to not clear the search target when switching to a different age category, so I don't have to retype the same search target every time the sought item turns out not to be in the current age category. ...

Today in Thunderbird, search results always appear first in a totally-unhelpfully-cluttered view with unhelpfully-truncated details/excerpts. Extremely few results fit on a single screen height this way, and the information/context provided with each result is woefully insufficient to identify if I've found the right thing. The vastly superior "show search results as list" option is always an additional click away. I say "vastly superior" because it actually shows far more results on-screen at a time, in a tabular/columnar format that makes it MUCH easier to determine the relevant details of each item, making it far faster to skim the results to find exactly what I was looking for. I always prefer this "show search results as list" view. Sadly and frustratingly, there doesn't appear to be any setting to make "show search results as list" the default behavior for all searches so that I can bypass the useless "not-a-list" search results page. The lack of such a setting is, frankly, stupid. Please add a global setting for this, along with a checkbox or pop-up dialog or something so that the first time I click that "show search results as a list" link, it offers to let me ALWAYS show ALL search results as lists by changing the global setting for me in-context. Thank you! ... View more

Right now, Firefox makes the domain name slightly bolded in the URL bar.  I think that since there are many people with vision issues it would be nice to make that domain highlight more obvious - for instance, make the domain red and bold (or make the colour user selectable, since some people are colour blind).  It would make it easier for people to detect fake/phishing sites. ...

💡 Idea Introduce a smart assistant directly into Thunderbird that helps users read, understand, write, and triage their emails using local AI. The goal is to reduce the time spent on email, ease cognitive overload, and modernize the user experience — without sacrificing privacy. 🧠 How it works Thunderbird Assist would be a native, lightweight assistant seamlessly integrated into the interface — via a sidebar, contextual button, or smart pop-up. It would analyze the message being read or composed and provide helpful, real-time suggestions tailored to the user's context. Core Features: 📄 Email summarization Automatically condense long messages or threads into short, readable summaries — letting users understand the core content without reading everything. 👉 Great for professionals who receive long discussions, or for users catching up after being away. ✍️ Smart reply suggestions Thunderbird Assist would generate quick, relevant responses based on message context (e.g., “Thanks, got it.”, “I’ll get back to you tomorrow.”, “Yes, Tuesday works for me.”). 👉 Speeds up handling of short or repetitive emails and helps avoid missed replies. 🗣️ Tone and clarity adjustment Users can ask the assistant to rephrase their draft in different tones: formal, friendly, concise, polite, or professional. 👉 Perfect for sensitive or professional communications, or for users less confident with writing. 🧠 Key info extraction Detect and highlight important elements in an email like dates, deadlines, tasks, people involved, links, or attachments. 👉 Makes it easier to convert emails into actionable items and avoid missing key points. 💡 Context-aware prompts Example: if a question is left unanswered, the assistant suggests replying. If an attachment is mentioned but missing, it alerts the user. 👉 Like a second brain that catches small details before you hit send. 🛠️ Optional & Advanced Features 📝 AI-powered draft writing: Describe what you want to say and Thunderbird Assist builds a full email for you. 🧾 Thread summarization: Collapse entire conversations into one easy-to-read overview. 🔁 Reply history insights: Show how you’ve responded to similar messages in the past. ⚙️ User controls: Fine-tune which suggestions you want, how the assistant behaves, and toggle features on/off. ✅ Benefits For everyday users: ✅ Save time and energy when reading or writing emails. ✅ Avoid awkward writing or mistakes thanks to tone and suggestion tools. ✅ Reduce mental fatigue caused by email overload. ✅ Understand long or complex emails quickly and with less effort. For professionals: ✅ Increase productivity by responding faster and more consistently. ✅ Ensure a consistent communication tone across team emails. ✅ Avoid forgotten replies or errors before sending. ✅ Focus more on work, and less on admin tasks. 🎯 Real-world examples A freelancer replies to many similar client emails: Thunderbird Assist helps write responses faster and more clearly. An older user gets long or complex messages: Assist summarizes and suggests a simple reply. A student returns from vacation to 50 unread emails: the assistant summarizes them in 2 minutes. A manager reads a messy thread with 10 replies: gets a clean recap of who said what and what the next steps are. 🔐 Privacy & Open Source Ethics Unlike commercial AI assistants (like Gmail Smart Reply or Outlook Copilot), everything happens locally. 👉 No content is sent to the cloud or third-party servers. The assistant would use lightweight, open-source AI models (e.g., LLaMA, Mistral, or other local LLMs), designed to run even on modest hardware. Advanced users could bring their own model or self-hosted backend (e.g., Ollama). The feature would be completely optional, fully customizable, and aligned with Thunderbird’s values: privacy, user control, transparency, and open-source freedom. ... View more

The feature of suggesting bookmarks in the address bar is quite useful. However, there should be an option to hide certain bookmark folders from suggestions. This would be especially beneficial during screen sharing, allowing us to exclude personal folders from the suggestions and improve the overall user experience. Additionally, when a folder is excluded from suggestions in the bookmark manager by right-clicking, a small icon in the corner of the folder could indicate this status. ... View more

I use Thunderbird on Windows. I frequently search the Inbox for a single sender. The default search criteria that appears on the "Search Messages" dialog is: Subject Contains null.

I believe that most people would use this option, if it were available. ... View more

I recently moved from Chrome to Firefox and all is fine, apart from how the seach bar works. I often want to visit a subpage of a domain (e.g. https://yle.fi/tuoreimmat rather than https://yle.fi/) but when I type in "yl" and hit Enter, I land on the latter page rather than the former. Chrome did this right. On Firefox, the "correct" page appears as the first entry in the "Firefox Suggest" dropdown but it's annoying to type the first letters of a website and then press down to select that entry before pressing Enter. Maybe change the search bar to suggest the URL of the most visited page of a domain rather than defaulting to the front page of the domain? ... View more
