it would be a great idea to have the ability to create tab panels, where you can for example put all your work and personal in separate tabs panels so your tabs don't accumulates and become hare to find. and being able to switch between tabs panel with a single left click while also being able to do some things when you press the tabs panel icon using right click like unloading all tabs in a tab panel or closing them, sorting them, close duplicates and much more. Check sideberry extension for an example     ... View more

I was trying to copy tabs from Firefox on my old computer to a new one, but the "Send to Device" option kept not showing up.  I tried sending fewer and fewer tabs, and finally was occasionally able to send the tabs.  I finally realized that the problem was that some of my tabs were for files stored on my computer, rather than hyperlinks.   The current behavior is for the "Send to Device" option to not appear if any of the selected tabs refer to files instead of hyperlinks.  For those of us who are a bit slow, I suggest leaving the "Send to Device" option always visible, but when the user clicks on it, either 1) if the tabs are all hyperlinks, show the device list to transfer to, or 2) if any of the tabs refer to files on the local computer, display a dialog box that says something like, "Some of the selected tabs refer to local files, rather than hyperlinks.  The location of those files may not be the same  on another device.  Do you want to continue, anyway?"  To proceed, the user would have to select either "Yes" or "Cancel" (or No).  This lets the user clearly understand the problem. In my case, I copied the four addresses for files to the new computer and found that that computer had been set up well enough that the tabs worked, so it may not always be necessary to "Cancel" when tab links refer to files. The presence of tabs referring to files is more common nowadays because Firefox is replacing Adobe in handling .pdf files. This change should not be difficult to implement because Firefox already checks the tab addresses to make sure they are not links to files (it has to do that check in order to determine whether or not to display the "Send to Device" option). ...

One has to specify in Firefox how many tabs one wants to leave open when one closes the browser. My spouse and I use different tabs, and often different numbers of tabs, each time we use Firefox. Therefore, a set limit for the number of tabs we want saved does not work for us. A checklist would be much better. We could decide each time we use Firefox which tabs, if any, we want to save for the next time we use it. ... View more

Title: Protected Tabs / Intentional Close Mode I would like to suggest a browser feature that could help users avoid unintentionally closing important tabs. Current browsers assume that clicking the "X" button means the user has consciously decided to close a tab. However, many users develop automatic habits and muscle memory. In these situations, a tab may be closed reflexively before the user has had time to consciously evaluate whether it should be closed. The problem is not an accidental mouse click. The problem is an automatic action performed out of habit. My proposal is a new optional feature called Protected Tabs (or Intentional Close Mode). How it would work: A user can mark a tab as "Protected" by clicking a lock icon within the tab. While protected, the tab cannot be closed by clicking the standard "X" button. No confirmation dialogs are necessary. To close the tab, the user must first unlock it intentionally. Once unlocked, the tab behaves normally and can be closed. Why this may be useful: Prevents loss of active work. Protects research tabs, conversations, forms, documentation, or important references. Helps users who rely heavily on keyboard shortcuts or muscle memory. Avoids the common problem where a user closes a tab and immediately realizes it contained important information. Unlike confirmation dialogs, this approach does not interrupt workflow. Instead, it introduces a deliberate action before closure, ensuring that closing a protected tab is intentional. The design principle is simple: Closing a critical tab should require intention, not just precision. Thank you for considering this idea. ... View more

Once upon a time, a very common feature in custom Android ROMs was the ability to double-tap the app switcher button in the navigation bar to quickly switch back to the previously active app, akin to Alt-Tab on many desktop operating systems. I would like to see this same gesture added to the Tab Manager button on Firefox for Android.  Toggling between two open tabs is an incredibly common use case for me, and they are frequently not right next to each other in the tab list, making swiping between them cumbersome.  I see this working exactly like Ctrl-Tab does on desktop (when the "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order" setting is enabled). Bonus points: It would be great if this feature worked with private/tab group tabs as well! ... View more

Hello Firefox Team, I would like to request a feature for the Vertical Tabs experience: the ability to automatically organize tabs into groups. Microsoft Edge currently offers automatic tab grouping capabilities that help users keep their browsing sessions organized by categorizing related tabs together. This feature is especially useful when working with multiple projects, research topics, or workflows simultaneously. It would be great if Firefox could provide a similar option within Vertical Tabs, allowing tabs to be automatically grouped based on factors such as website domain, topic, browsing context, or user-defined rules. This enhancement would significantly improve productivity, reduce tab clutter, and make the Vertical Tabs interface even more powerful for users who manage a large number of open tabs. Thank you for your continued work on Firefox and for considering this suggestion. Best regards,   ... View more

Better handling of environments with a large number of tabs is urgently needed. If I have 50 tabs open, it consumes more memory than WSL2 Ubuntu... I’d say the memory management specifically the automatic tab unloading still doesn't really work properly. It certainly seems very buggy. Just a quick thought: Why not simply save or export the active webpage as an *.html file (completely unloading the tab in the background), and then when the user clicks on that tab again reload the cached HTML file from the hard drive? This would allow you to completely unload the tab in the background, eliminating the memory overhead caused by JavaScript. A nice feature for later: precisely restoring the scroll position and form data (by creating a webpage state file, like a *.json, alongside the HTML export). In my view, this system would be highly performant and shouldn't be slow at all (considering the speed of opening a local HTML file). I often have 60 or more tabs open, and that can consume up to 12 GB of RAM. That is simply far too much. After all, some tabs stay open for days or even weeks. ... View more

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 ...

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

In Google Chrome, when you select and copy text in one tab, switch to another tab to paste it, and then return to the original tab, the previously selected text remains highlighted. This is extremely useful when working with large tables, spreadsheets, logs, or long columns of text because it helps keep track of which line or section was already copied. In Firefox, the selection highlight disappears after switching tabs, making repetitive copy-paste workflows much harder and easier to lose track in. It would be great to have an optional feature or setting in Firefox to preserve selected text highlighting when changing tabs/windows, similar to Chrome’s behavior. ... View more

Hallo, I always have quite a number of tabs saved in the tab bar, but it´s not enough to show all of them without horizontal scrolling. My idea i, why not add a second or even third tab bar under the existing one. This would result in much more comfort and oversight. There is enough space on the screen.
