Currently if I have tab within a group open and hit ctrl-t I'm taken out of the group.  It would be more convenient if the new tab showed up within the group instead. If I am grouping tabs, I am usually working on something specific and would rather keep that focus instead of having to drag every new tab into the group. Also since there is a "New Tab" button top-level, you could have both behaviors by having "New Tab" create a new top-level tab, and ctrl-t a new tab within a group(if an existing tab within that group is focused). ...

Hello, With the rounded tab displays from Nova, I think it would look prettier if the thin colored line that indicates the tab is “containerized” ran around the entire oval instead of only along the top, as it does now. The current placement feels odd with the rounded surroundings. Moreover, this would emphasize that we are using a containerized tab (i.e., a protected environment). Would turn to something like :  Best regards, Robin         ... View more

When changing the label of a tab, why not having on the menu 'rename' instead of 'change label'? Every time I want to do it takes me some time to find, rename is a more common name for the menu item and somehow feels easier to find, less painfull to do it, and I do it a lot!   Hope other people too and that this is also relevant for other people! ...

When you have a tab open that is inside a folder and you hide that folder content, like closing that folder, the tab still shows.  In order to hide it, you need to go to another tab, then open and close that folder. Its a bit weird.. Not sure what the solution would be but maybe go to the first tab in the non folder tabs? or open a blank one with that new tab bar on it ... View more

In "Essentials" space, I have added 8 websites as tabs. Example: I want to open 3 tabs for working, but I have no way to recognize which tabs are already open. Can you darken or highlight the (square) tabs which are open so I know which ones are not yet open and will take time to load? ... View more

Hi... I've noted that when I have a lot of tabs open, and I either use my mouse to scroll back and forth or try to use the arrows at the ends of the tab bar, the Tabs just "scream" back and forth.  I've looked for a ballistics setting but can't find one in settings.  If there was a way to slow down/control the scrolling speed or if there was a way to move one tab at a time when you click on the arrows at the end, it would make things a lot easier. Thanks!  🙂 ... View more

I would like to suggest a small but, in everyday use, very helpful improvement to Thunderbird's tab handling. I prefer to open individual emails in separate tabs. However, when I double-click a message in the message list that is already open in a tab, Thunderbird opens the same message again in another new tab. It would be much more convenient if Thunderbird first checked whether this particular message is already open in one of the existing tabs. If the message is already open, Thunderbird should simply switch to and activate that tab. If the message is not yet open, it should open a new tab as it does now. Ideally, this could be implemented as an optional setting, for example: “Reuse an existing tab if the message is already open.” This would preserve the current behaviour for users who prefer it, while preventing users who keep several messages open for their work from accidentally accumulating multiple tabs containing exactly the same email. For example: I double-click Email A → Thunderbird opens Email A in a new tab. I return to the Inbox and work with other messages. Later, I double-click Email A again → Thunderbird recognizes that Email A is already open and switches to its existing tab instead of opening Email A a second time. This seems like a relatively small usability improvement, but it would make working with multiple message tabs considerably clearer and more efficient. ... View more

Firefox already provides a way on desktop to avoid keeping tabs after closing Firefox, but a similar option is missing from Firefox for Android. I’d like an Android setting that automatically clears all open tabs when Firefox is completely closed. For example, if I have 6 tabs open and close Firefox, those 6 tabs should be removed from the active tab list. When I open Firefox again, it could show a small prompt: “Restore previous tabs?” — Restore / No thanks If I choose No thanks, or start a new search/URL, the previous tabs should be discarded and the tab count should remain at 0. This would be especially useful on mobile because manually closing every tab before exiting Firefox is tedious. Otherwise, tabs continuously accumulate, making the tab switcher increasingly cluttered and annoying to manage. And Clear all tabs even Creates extra burden & taps requirements, while it could be solved within a option as feature & Surely add convenience to users. This feature already exists on Firefox for desktop, so I’d really like to see the same functionality/option brought to Firefox for Android. ... View more

Currently, when I close pinned tab, it's stays loaded, there is no way to "unload" it unless right clicking on the tab and selecting "unload" option manually. I think this behavior should be default. At least, there should be shortcut for this action. ... View more

I use Firefox when surfing the web, or YouTube, to gather ideas and put similar themes into existing open windows. I then go back to these later to see which ones I wanna keep and delete the rest. I'd like to see a bit more tab management to help with that. I might have 10 different Windows open in Firefox at any given session, each with 10 - 20 tabs in them. I don't know why this doesn't already exist, but when I right-click a selected tab at the top of the window, I'd like to see a new feature: Move to Window, which then brings up a list of available open Windows for me to choose and select one, after which that tab is moved to others in that Window. Can that be done? Awesome if you made Firefox even more betterer! ... View more

Recently Firefox added an option to manually unload tabs, and when you do, the favicon of that tab gets greyed out. My suggestion is to make it so tabs that are automatically unloaded get their favicon greyed out too. I think this would help to keep things consistent and I it shouldn't be too hard to implement ...

I'm personally a heavy tab user but have always wondered why there is almost no support for tab grouping or customization in the native tab bar in Firefox. I think making it able to group like Google Chrome does for example or at least giving more access for extensions and add-ons would significantly improve the UI in that regard. ... View more

Firefox zaman zaman çöküyor planlanan ayarlarla başlamak yerine açık sekmeleri hatırlamak yerine sıfırdan başlıyor. Açık sekmeleri kurtarmak bağlamında son 24 saatlik kayıtlar işlevsel değil, son bir haftalıkta ise yüzlerce sekme açılıyor ve ayıklamak gerekiyor. Çökmelerden sonra son 24 saatlik geçmişi kurtarın hiç olmazsa! Saving the last 24 hours of past tabs after collapses Firefox crashes from time to time instead of starting with the planned settings, instead of remembering the open tabs, it starts from scratch. In the context of saving open tabs, the last 24 hours of records are not functional, and in the last week, hundreds of tabs are opening and need to sort out. Save the last 24 hours of history after the collapses! ... View more

When i first switched to Firefox about 10-12 years ago now (great time in my life and firefox made it even better) one of the features i loved was tab groups, not the current feature where you can organise tabs in the bar into groups, these were boxes containing tabs you could switch between, it was great because you could have a lot of tabs open but the browser isn't cluttered, you could have for work, play, etc however as i seem to recall the feature was removed c. 2016?   It would be cool if it could come back, and maybe the separate groups could also be in different containers for extra privacy ...

Hi, I'm using Nightly and finally started using the new Nova design. I really don't mind how it looks, but right as I started using it, I already came across an issue in the experience - when I try to click on a tab, or grab the scroll bar, I keep hitting the dead space. I'm attaching a gif showing what I mean in comparison to previous design (I apologize for cursor disappearing when reaching the dead space). I won't lie, it's very, very annoying. I'd love if it was solved by extending the tab/scroll bar click space into the empty space. I don't mean making the buttons bigger, but just making the dead space on the side act as if I had the cursor on the tab/scroll wheel.  What do you think? ... View more

Expected behavior: The chatbot panel should preserve its previous state — the same conversation should still be loaded, similar to how a pinned tab or a normal browser tab retains its content when hidden and shown again. Actual behavior: The panel reloads from scratch, as if a full page refresh (F5) had occurred. The user has to manually search for and reopen the previous conversation every time the sidebar is closed and reopened, even if it was only closed briefly (e.g., to make more room on screen). Why this matters: The sidebar AI panel is visually and functionally similar to a tab, so users expect tab-like persistence. Losing session state every time the sidebar is toggled makes the feature frustrating to use for any extended conversation, and discourages closing the sidebar even temporarily. Suggested fix: Treat the sidebar AI panel like a persistent tab/session (keep it alive in the background, similar to how normal tabs work) rather than destroying and recreating it each time the sidebar is closed and reopened. ...

This idea could potentially have Firefox's entire image changed since it'd be practically the only browser that lets you actually see the internet usage of your tabs. And probably have their RAM usage alongside that too. I get the fact that there are features but they are just too vague like the screenshot I attached, it's too complicated for normal casual people so I'm pointing out a feature that we can have in the dropdown menu. After clicking the dropdown menu (The three lines), going into More Tools and finding Tab Usage or Network Usage (I know that there's a task manager in the same dropdown menu but that's for RAM and CPU usage explicitly). This would make it extremely easy to point out which tab is using the most network speed or bandwidth. Like if I'm uploading a video to YouTube and watching TikTok and TikTok is lagging, I know YouTube is the cause but say that there's more tabs open like Twitch and Netflix which I've paused to watch TikTok but they actively take a few bytes to refresh and update. This tab would just point out which tab is taking the most internet and ease it up on the user instead of having to go through about:networking#sockets and trying to figure out which is which.   If you have any replies or anything to me explicitly you can message me on discord: azter1ck ...

From the previous post on Crowdicity: I would like to see vertical tabs baked in. MS Edge now has it out of the box! I currently use addons for this - but there's no way to disable the top tab bar, which duplicates the tabs and takes up space. Vertical tabs (with top bar disabled) would free up more space for web content, which is (usually) vertical. Most screens are widescreen (RIP ThinkPad 4:3 ratios), so the less browser UI at the top/bottom, the more content we can view.
