Would be great if local AI added for Thunderbird so it will improve the search capabilities. Meaning that I can ask the bot a question and it will find an answer from all my email history. For instance, "which flights did I book from Cathay Pacific in 2021" But all this have to happen locally, I don't want my data to go to public AI. ... View more

On about:logins page, when I search for an email address that I use to login on tens of websites I want to filter for a specific website.

When searching for images, I always take my time to label the obviously AI images that have slipped the filters (I always have the "hide AI" filter on). But it's honestly really annoying that I still have to look at them, even after turning the filter on, and even after labelling. It would be great if the filter could be improved, but I know that something will always slip through the cracks, so the automatic hiding of the offending image would be really useful. ... View more

I can see that changes are made in the search function nowadays, and I want to point out that the existing search bar works wonderfully well to some of us (at least for me !). A few days ago on nightly, the same search widget as in the address bar appeared in the search bar. I tried to use it but found it very cumbersome. Hopefully a config setting exists to get the previous behaviour back. But I fear this possibility gets removed some day. Even more : using the widget, middle click doesn't work (as in opening a new tab), it just overwrites the current tab. As an example, here's something I can't seem to be able to do with the widget : perform the same search on several engines in a comfortable way. Currently I just have to type in, then middle click on every search engine I want the search done, fast and easy. On the new system it's much more tedious, at least four clicks are needed for each engine : one to cancel current engine, two to change engine, and one to start searching, phew… And if you add the middle click problem it's even worse !   So please keep the current one as an option, it works well. ...

Currently, the only way to remove or edit a bookmark on Firefox Android is to manually browse through the bookmarks menu. This is a very tedious process, especially for users who have a lot of bookmarks and folders. I recommend adding the 3 dots menu next to each bookmark when searching for bookmarks so users can edit or remove the bookmarks they search for.   ... View more

I'm a big fan of using the "@" symbol in the address bar in Firefox. I'd like to suggest making additional functionality available when using that search: 1. the ability to delete one or more entries found as a result a search. The attached image shows I have several tabs open to walmart.com It would be convenient for me to be able to close all those tabs at once via that search result.  2. the ability to group together within the browser (and maybe even bookmark as a group) two or more entries found as a result a search.  ...

This feature has been asked to be added since almost 20 years ago,  here:  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444284 Currently, Firefox Sync does transfer essential data (bookmarks, history, passwords, add-ons), but it does not include search engine shortcuts or custom-added engines or even deleted search engines (google,etc).... This missing functionality creates significant friction, requiring repetitive and time-consuming manual setup, which diminishes the utility of the Sync feature. (Especially if you have search engines added with custom preferences or very specific search engines added through mycroft for example..)  ... View more

Quería hacerles una petición creo que podría ser una propuesta interesante. Resulta que me gusta ver películas series y anime; online y gratis. Pero cuando busco en google y otros motores de búsqueda, me arroja resultados de pago o de spoiler/info; y solo después de la segunda o tercera página de búsqueda recién aparece un resultado que podría interesarme; y ni siquiera es tan bueno. Esto ocurre porque google se vendió y privilegia los derechos de autor en las búsquedas. Con  otros motores de búsqueda he obtenido mejores resultados ya que no están tan “vendidos”, pero aun así no siempre arroja los resultados que busco. Me ha pasado que, luego busco en alguna  de mis páginas de películas favoritas directamente y me arroja contenido sin ni un problema. Por lo que; el contenido está disponible pero el motor de  búsqueda no me lo arroja. Entonces decidí ocupar una herramienta de google un buscador personalizado o programable que por lo general se utiliza para buscar al interior de un blog por ejemplo. Entonces, valga; en el buscador programable (le puse: buscarPeliculas) añado las direcciones específicas, en las que deseo que google busque, y me arroja los resultados de películas de manera fácil y específica. El problema es que el proceso de añadir direcciones específicas en el buscador programable, es engorroso, la verdad es que al barajar las distintas direcciones que muchas veces tienen nombres similares y revisar si ya añadí o no una, es un poco difícil con todo esto de copiar y  pegar. Lo ideal y esta es en parte la petición, seria añadirlas como marcadores y que el motor programable accediera a una carpeta con mis paginas favoritas, que podrían ser, no solo de películas, si no de los más variados temas. El otro problema es que el buscador programable de google es muy tosco y no tiene historial ni especificaciones de búsqueda. Lo ideal también seria poder compartir el buscador específico, como quien comparte una lista de reproducción de youtube, solo que en vez de videos, marcadores de páginas de películas,  en este caso para todos los cinéfilos, que como yo se aburrieron de buscar en google, pero sin la necesidad de crear un nuevo motor de búsqueda. La verdad es que no se si al hacerles esta petición a ustedes, es apropiado o no,  pero me pareció que pedir esto directamente a google no era adecuado, ya que esta manera de buscar podría poner en jaque, su política que privilegia los derechos de autor. Yo se que firefox no se dedican a campo de los motores de búsqueda, por lo que de realizarse, si se pudiera, la vía seguramente seria utilizar motores de búsqueda ya establecidos. Quien sabe tal vez esta sea la oportunidad para firefox de abrirse al campo de los motores de búsqueda ya que esta idea en la era el streaming podría tener alcances inusitados. De antemano gracias. https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=11d124d1b9703407b =  buscarPeliculas (I wanted to make a request; I think it could be an interesting proposal.  I enjoy watching movies, series, and anime online and for free. But when I search on Google and other search engines, I get paid results or results with spoilers/info; and only after the second or third page of search results does a result appear that might interest me; and even then, it's not very good. This happens because Google has sold out and prioritizes copyright in search results. With other search engines, I've gotten better results since they aren't as "sold out," but even then, they don't always return the results I'm looking for. It's happened that I then search directly on one of my favorite movie websites, and it returns content without any problem. So, the content is available, but the search engine doesn't return it. Therefore, I decided to use a Google tool, a custom or programmable search engine that is generally used to search within a blog, for example. So, to reiterate; In the programmable search engine (I named it: searchMovies), I add the specific addresses where I want Google to search, and it gives me movie results easily and specifically. The problem is that the process of adding specific addresses to the programmable search engine is cumbersome. Honestly, shuffling through the different addresses, which often have similar names, and checking if I've already added one, is a bit difficult with all the copying and pasting. Ideally, and this is part of my request, I'd like to add them as bookmarks so the programmable search engine could access a folder with my favorite pages, which could be not only about movies but also about a wide variety of topics. The other problem is that Google's programmable search engine is very basic and doesn't have a search history or search specifications. Ideally, we could also share a specific search engine, like someone would share a YouTube playlist, only instead of videos, we'd share bookmarks for movie websites. This would be for all the film buffs who, like me, are tired of searching on Google, but without the need to create a new search engine. The truth is, The truth is, I'm not sure if making this request to you is appropriate, but it seemed inappropriate to ask Google directly, as this search method could jeopardize their policy that prioritizes copyright. I know Firefox doesn't operate in the search engine field, so if it were to be implemented, the approach would most likely be to use established search engines, Who knows, perhaps this is Firefox's opportunity to enter the search engine arena, as this idea in the era of streaming could have unprecedented potential.

Hi. I'd love to see a "search text" feature when opening PDFs in Firefox, so I don't have to download the file and search with the PDF reader. It would be a huge time saver for me.  ... View more

When you select a long text, it would be nice if the right-click menu displayed how many characters (and how many words) are in the selection. For example: Example version of the selection right-click menu showing word and char count   Random unrelated idea: remove the "Search [engine name] for '[selection text]'" option for extremely long selections. It's useless to search for entire paragraphs and it can overload the network. ... View more

With the DMA in the EU Google added a new search engine choice screen, but when a user chooses a different option than Google, it automatically installs their web browser and sets it as the only way to search with that service, driving users away from Firefox. The solution would be to add Firefox as an option to that list along with the other browsers (such as duckduckgo or ecosia browser) so that the user can decide to use for example duckduckgo through Firefox instead of their browser. This would also remove the need to have more than one browser installed ... View more

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
