I often click the top left "View recent browsing across windows and devices" button and just start typing what I want to search for, but the cursor hasn't been placed in the search box. It takes an extra click to put it there (tab just highlights something else).  Please smooth this process, reduce the clicks, and activate the search box for typing as soon as the window loads. ...

Hello! I use Firefox View frequently (particularly the Open tabs panel) and find it useful. However, I think it could be better. In particular, I think that Firefox View could support /session management/. I use an extension called Tab Session Manager to save windows/tabs that I am not actively using, to get them out of memory / no longer taking up windows on my computer. It lets me save windows/tabs in named groups for different things: for example, a group can be like, Wikipedia articles I have open for researching something. I find this very handy, but the UX of being a separate extension means I do not use it as much as I would like. I would like to suggest that Firefox View adds a new "Saved sessions" tab, and supports saving tabs / windows to sessions, either from Firefox View itself, or both from Firefox View and the tabbar. I think this would be a useful feature to have integrated into the browser. ... View more

The title is pretty self-explanatory; sometimes I want to close certain duplicate tabs, but I still want to keep certain other ones open; it'd be nice to be able to see and decide which tabs will be closed ... 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 ...

Firefox View is very useful! I find myself on the "Open tabs" page quite often. However, Firefox View does not allow drag-and-dropping tabs between windows, which limits its usefulness. There is a right-click menu with a "Move tab" option, but the only options there are moving a tab to a new window or to the end of the current window -- no support for moving tabs anywhere within the current window, or for moving them to a new window. This "Move tab" menu is actually just the same as on the standard tab sidebar. So my request is more specifically: can you all add support for drag-and-dropping tabs in Firefox View? I would like the ability to drag-and-drop them within the current window, and drag-and-drop them to new windows. Thanks! ... View more

When I right-click a tab group in the horizontal tabs bar or the vertical tabs sidebar, I get the "Manage tab group" context menu. I don't get that when I do the same in the "List all tabs" drop-down menu. What I see when I right-click a tab group in the tab list drop-down is a context menu with 3 choices: "Move Group to This Window", "Move Group to New Window", and "Delete Group". I was looking in particular to save and close the group when I realized I'm not getting the context menu I was expecting. I get how we ended up having both "List all tabs" and the vertical tabs sidebar, if it looks like the two features shadow each other somewhat if you have vertical tabs enabled. It would be nice though to align these tab groups access points, for consistency. ... View more

Hi Mozilla, I think it would be a QOL improvement to keep the "reopen closed tab" option in the right click menu in the same place regardless of whether users right click on a tab or in the empty space beside tabs. Currently, this option is located at the very bottom of the right click menu when right clicking on any tab, and it's bottom of the second section effectively in the very center of the right click menu. ...

Problem: As a researcher I have multiple PDFs always open. I prefer Firefox over Acrobat since its cleaner, works better and has tab groups. In Acrobat there is an option to display filenames instead of metadata titles as the tab titles. Firefox currently displays both, metadata title first and file name last, separated with " - ". With long titles the file name gets omitted, which should not be the case.   More context: References are most of the time handled by the author and year, therefore a good workflow is to put those at the beginning of names of archived files. However, sometimes there is still a case that the metadata title of the PDF is actually more indicative of what the PDF is. Therefore, there should be an option to set the used title for tabs individually, which Acrobat does not have.   To summarise: My suggestion is to add, for example, to the right click context menu of tabs an option to choose whether the filename or the metadata title field is used as the displayed tab title, or that which is displayed first.   Example: Files used in example: Acrobat: Firefox:       ...

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

I would like very much to have a native option to enable 2-line tab titles when vertical tab bar is enabled. It appears to me as a much more efficient use of the vertical space, and makes it much easier for me to distinguish tabs.  Currently two line tabs is only achievable with a Userchrome CSS snippet. I would like to see this option natively, as it will give FF a competitive advantage over other browsers with vertical tabs (Edge, Chrome, Brave and Vivaldi). #tabbrowser-tabs[orient="vertical"] { .tab-label { white-space: collapse !important; -webkit-line-clamp: 2 !important; line-clamp: 2 !important; display: block !important; overflow: hidden !important; line-height: 1.25 !important; } .tab-content { padding-top: 5px !important; padding-bottom: 5px !important; } & .tabbrowser-tab { min-height: 45px !important; } } ...

Firefox's "Open previous windows and tabs" session restore feature does not behave as expected when Private Browsing windows are involved. Steps to reproduce: 1. Enable: Settings → General → Startup → "Open previous windows and tabs" 2. Open a normal browsing window. 3. Open several tabs in the normal window. 4. Open a Private Browsing window. 5. Close the normal browsing window while the Private Browsing window is still open. 6. Close Firefox completely and restart it, or open a new normal browsing window. Expected result: The previously opened normal browsing tabs should be restored. Private Browsing windows should not affect the session state of normal browsing windows, because Private Browsing does not participate in browsing history or persistent session data. Actual result: The previously opened normal browsing tabs are lost. Firefox appears to treat the existence of Private Browsing windows as part of the overall browser session lifecycle, preventing the normal browsing session from being saved/restored. This can cause accidental loss of a user's working tabs and is difficult to understand because there is no warning before the normal browsing session is discarded. Suggested improvement: Separate the session lifecycle of normal browsing windows from Private Browsing windows. For example: - Normal browsing windows should have their own restorable session state. - Closing a normal browsing window should preserve its tabs for session restore. - Private Browsing windows should remain non-persistent and should not prevent normal browsing session saving. Rationale: Users enable "Open previous windows and tabs" specifically to avoid manually restoring their working environment. However, the current behavior requires users to remember whether any Private Browsing windows are still open before closing Firefox, which defeats the purpose of automatic session restoration. This behavior is especially confusing because Private Browsing is intentionally designed to be isolated from normal browsing data. ... View more

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

Automatically show-expand/hide-collapse on mouseover for all drop-down menus, including vertical tabs. For example, vertical tabs, will only display the default icon, and when you hover over them, it expands and displays the text. The same goes for all other drop-down menus, such as the list of all tabs, the "show sidebar" button, and others. ... View more

I often have a firefox page set up with a number of tabs for other pages that are related to my current interest. Sometime as many as seven or eight. When I restart firefox or my machine, I lose them. I would be great to be able to give them a name and to save them in the bookmark panel on the LH side, or using an icon on the tab line on the LHS Safari has group tabs facility.. We should also.

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 ...

as the manual tab unload feature via the context menu has been shipped to firefox, it would be great if users would recieve a section within settings to adjust the rule set which dictates automatic tab sleep/unload. maybe something like "tab-auto-sleep if [tab-time-since-last-used] > x" "tab-auto-unload if [system-memory-low] AND [tab-time-since-last-used] > x" [x] exclude tabs from rules with active playing media (music, video, ...) [  ] provide tabs with heads-up and grace period to allow them to gracefully hybernate Note: the last option is a remark to another suggestion I made previously about a new event type that browser could send to tabs that are imminent to be hybernated/unloaded by the browser, to allow complex applications to save data locally or to finish server sychronization. ...

Firefox already has a “List All Tabs” dropdown button on the tab bar, but it only shows currently open tabs. It would be very useful to also include a “Recently Closed Tabs” section in this same dropdown, similar to Chrome. Currently, accessing recently closed tabs requires going through Menu → History → Recently Closed Tabs, while Firefox View opens a full page, which feels excessive for such a quick action. A compact recently closed tabs section inside the existing List All Tabs dropdown would make restoring a specific closed tab much faster without opening a new page or navigating through multiple menus. This would be especially useful for users who frequently restore specific recently closed tabs rather than only reopening the last one with Ctrl + Shift + T. ... View more
