A long time ago, I discovered that when I signed-in to a website in a Private Window, I would remain signed in to that same website in a different Private Window. I realized that all private tabs belong to one Container. Perhaps there should be a container for each Private Window. After all, there is a certain logic built into windows so that you can separate your different tabs and browsing activity in different windows. It therefore makes sense that if you access the same website from different Private Windows, it would be for different reasons and different use-cases, and we wouldn't have the same need, therefore the website shouldn't have to access the data it already has stored on Firefox. And while this rationale doesn't make it necessarily more preferable than the status quo, there would also be a Privacy benefit from making this change: it would strengthen Firefox's powerful container abilities, by isolating websites and their data, separating more privacy-invading websites from others, while still keeping the features and functions of Private browsing for all those tabs. ...

I tried out the Tree-Style Tab extension and got everything configured and working nicely but I was left with both the Firefox tab bar and the Tree-Style Tab sidebar on-screen at the same time. I tried to find a way to hide Firefox's tab bar while the Tree-Style Tab sidebar is on-screen (Which is what I want to happen) but only found one superuser thread saying I need to adjust some esoteric file deep within Firefox's app files called "userChrome.css". This ought to be a one-button fix otherwise Mozilla's "recommendation" of Tree-Style Tab for the modern Firefox browser seems half-hearted at best. I understand there is perhaps some danger involved in exposing such a setting that a user might end up without tabs of any kind, but surely there could be some opt-in setting to toggle off the default tab bar while the sidebar of a user's selected extension is on-screen or something like that? ...

When I sync tabs between Firefox for Mac and Firefox Mobile for Android, the Open Tabs of the other device appear in a mixed up order than they are originally sorted. Hence, when I bulk open the tabs from my mobile on my desktop, they have a different order than on my mobile. The other way – bulk open tabs from the desktop on my mobile – wouldn't work at all. Please optimize. ... View more

TB should offer three menu options for each file: (a) Open as tab (aka Preview) (b) Open in external app (c) Save As... with one of them being set in Settings as the default by the users. It's a very simple enhancement really, and an established way of doing things. If TB can't do (a) for certain file types, it should only offer (b) and (c).  At the moment we are forced to choose one of these or 'Always Ask' per file type in Settings and our choice applies to all files of that type. If I must choose, I have to go with opening all files (eg PDFs) in my external app and miss out on TB's quick preview feature which I would use in most cases. Alternatively, I can save the PDF and open it from the file manager, but that's too many unnecessary clicks. TB v115 ... View more

I work with many windows and many more tabs. I would like a way to find the tab/window combination with a search or a list of all the tab/window combinations where I could click to go to the selected tab/window. ... View more

Thunderbirds calendar is great. But its kinda random, in this mail program. It doesnt really fit to the "one app one task" philosophy that is pretty normal everywhere. Everywhere you would have a seperate app for Mail or Calendar. Wouldnt it be great to have a custom CSS window just launching the calendar without tabs and all that, having a different desktop entry? The same for calendar, which would mostly make sense if good sync and desktop integration is there. ... View more

Convenience meaning: "a quality or situation that makes something easy or useful for someone by reducing the amount of work or time required to do something." Lack of convenience leads users to switch from one browser to another. I think this would be a very useful, interesting and practical feature. Suggestion: Natively implement a way for Firefox to synchronize user data (passwords, favorites, history, open tabs...) between different browsers (mainly from Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi). In two ways at the same time: 1. In the form of a question, right after installation. 2. In the form of a reminder, which appears from time to time in Firefox that is already installed. With the option to disable it so as not to disturb users. Probably it would require a lot of technical challenges and cooperation from other browser vendors. Some of the challenges include: • Developing a common protocol or standard for exchanging browser data across different platforms and formats. • Ensuring the security and encryption of user data during transmission and storage. Resolving conflicts and duplicates when merging or syncing data from different sources. • Providing options for users to customize what data they want to sync and how often. • Maintaining compatibility and performance across different browser versions and updates. ...

I want to specifically, tag certain tabs such that while closing the tab I get a warning. ... View more

When selecting many tabs to send them to another firefox instance (eg my android to my desktop), presently the list of selected tabs "disappears" after sending because after send-to-device is complete firefox bounces you not back to the tab view, but back to the last webpage.  Tab-view is exited, so the selection is lost. They should stay "selected", which I imagine would be implemented as just returning to the tab screen/activity rather than back to some webpage.  I feel this is justified because: it takes a *long* time to select many tabs on mobile, especially when you have to sort through to selectively choose them.  It's trivial for me to exit the tab-selection view if I didn't want to do something else with that list of tabs, but FF mobile doesn't allow me this option This feature would make mobile consistent with how desktop behaves: sharing a group of tabs does not cause the selection to disappear; tabs stay selected. A common use case for selecting many tabs is to "move" from a mobile session to a desktop once it becomes available.  In that case it's always "send", then "close on mobile".  Presently one has to manually re-select all the tabs a second time to close them, which is really painful. Thank you. ... View more

Similar to the "send tab to device" or "open in new container tab" in the context menu that shows up when right clicking a tab in the tab bar. or even an "open in not-private window" option in the "move tab" submenu. right now if I want to access I page I've navigated to in my non-private context I do <c-l><c-w><m-tab><c-t><c-p><cr> which works but is a bit of a mouthful. ...

Hi, this is just a simple concept that could be further elaborated, I guess. The idea is to make easy to share things between Mozilla Accounts users. For instance, in my family we mostly use Firefox, each one with its own Mozilla Account, so, it would be great to share tabs/links between Mozilla Accounts as we do between devices inside a single account. In this way, a group of friends or family could relate/link their individual Mozilla Accounts which would enable them to send for instance tabs/links/URLs/ to a 'Mozilla Contact' (?) active session, i.e., send a tab directly from my Firefox open session to the one of a friend/family instead of having to send the link via some other medium. We could simply Sync a 'Mozilla Agenda/Contacts' with those Mozilla Accounts users who have authorized such interaction and the sent tab would inform from which contact it comes from. This could be done also from Bookmarks and Pocket maybe. Finally, we could even allow some form of chat between Mozilla Accounts users. Maybe implementing something like Tox or Jami, or using Mastodon as a bridge (specially now that Mozilla has its own instance in the ActivityPub network). This should be E2E encrypted, which is already the case with Jami/Tox. I will stop here because this is just a very first draft, so, I hope if there's interest it would be refined/fixed/developed through community conversation. 🙂 Kind regards, everybody! PS: maybe this could be first tested as an add-on for Nightly/Beta? ... View more

I would love the ability to pin tabs on my Android. I have a number of tabs always open (news, weather, etc), and then I open all interesting items in new tabs. When done, I close those extra tabs, but often I close one of the "important" tabs by accident. If I could pin them, so that I would have to unpin them before closing, this would not happen. Even better if there was an option to close all unpinned tabs. ... View more

Can you develop a method of clearing tabs to the right which are not permanent many of which have appeared from incidental advertising from other websites and from Microsoft Solitaire games etc.?  I like to hold my pinned tabs till I have time to read them so I get a lots of useless unpinned tabs which then need to be discarded   Currently they have to be discarded one at a time which is aggravating as I love my Firefox browser and it is my default browser apart from Brave, Chrome, etc. etc/  Brave is my second best and each browser has  a separate purpose (Brave for investing and money;  Chrome for health;  etc. etc. ...

A switch for that like in the desktop-version is very useful. If you have a page eg. newspage with many links, you can open them with "open in new tab". Now you have to watch for that popup and tap on it in time. With " open new tab in foreground" you don't have to watch and react. Thr advantage for opening a link in a new tab: if you rad that page, you can go back and the previous page is back without loading. The data-tranfer-rate is not always at 100Mbit ... ... View more

I would love that if I open a new tab and surf to an url I have pinned already, that Firefox closes the new tab and navigate to the pinned tab of that url. I often have a few news sites open, but have a habit of command+T'ing and type the site's url. After a while I figure I have a few tabs of the same website. I already have such a bad habit of having open too many tabs. Safari on MacOS has this behaviour and it is way easier to keep down the number of tabs (When I try to record it, it for some reason stops behaving properly, so please take my word for it :)). ...
