It would be nice to have the Share Menu Extension. This is useful to incorporate TB with other apps such as Photos. Mac does not support MAPI, but sending data to TB can be done via the Share menu in Mac's manner. I heard iOS version is being planned, so this is useful for iOS version as well. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254623708 ... View more

Subject: Dear Firefox Team, I appreciate the excellent browsing experience your browser offers. I'd like to suggest the implementation of a feature that facilitates the seamless transfer of bookmarks both to and from Firefox. This feature could enhance user convenience by simplifying the process of migrating bookmarks across different instances of the Firefox browser or from other browsers. A user-friendly import/export tool would be a valuable addition, allowing users to effortlessly manage and synchronize their bookmark collections. Thank you for considering this suggestion. I believe such a feature would contribute significantly to the user experience and make Firefox even more user-centric. Best regards, Michael Weick  __________________________________________ Here is a List of Benefits for adding this Feature: 1. **User Convenience:** A bookmark transfer feature would streamline the process, saving users time and effort when switching devices or browsers. 2. **Seamless Migration:** Users frequently switch between devices and browsers; this feature would provide a smooth transition, maintaining their personalized browsing experience. 3. **Cross-Browser Compatibility:** Enhances Firefox's appeal by offering a convenient way for users to import bookmarks from other browsers, encouraging them to make Firefox their preferred choice. 4. **User Retention:** Simplifying the onboarding process for new users by allowing them to effortlessly bring their existing bookmarks to Firefox can contribute to higher user retention rates. 5. **Backup and Restore:** Users often want to safeguard their bookmarks. This feature would serve as a practical backup and restore solution, preventing loss of important bookmarks due to unforeseen circumstances. 6. **Increased User Satisfaction:** Meeting user needs for easy bookmark management enhances overall satisfaction with the browser, potentially boosting positive reviews and recommendations. 7. **Competitive Edge:** Offering a robust bookmark transfer feature sets Firefox apart from competitors, demonstrating a commitment to user-centric design and functionality. 8. **User Empowerment:** Empowers users to have more control over their browsing data, aligning with the trend of providing users with tools to manage and personalize their digital experience. 9. **Synchronization Across Devices:** In an era where users access content on various devices, this feature ensures a synchronized bookmark experience, irrespective of the device being used. 10. **Enhanced User Experience:** The proposed feature aligns with the user-centric approach, contributing to an overall improved browsing experience, which is crucial for maintaining a loyal user base. ...

Search bar and other text fields should support HOME and END buttons, like casual text editors do. HOME - move the cursor to the beginning of the text (or row). END - place the cursor at the the text (or row). HOME and END buttons are also used to scroll the page, but when the text field is selected they are disabled. ... View more

Firefox should come with GPC (Global Privacy Control) and DNT (Do Not Track) setting toggled on and not opt is as of now. To my understanding changing the browser settings makes you easier to track with fingerprinting, hence why in terms of privacy it's better to not opt in on these privacy features. This makes the whole opt in for privacy settings as GPC and DNT sort of a toggle that defeats it own purpose. Privacy should be by default and not the other way around. If it where shipped with this settings on, then most firefox browsers would have this settings and would not stand out as a fingerprintable datapoint. That would increase privacy for all users of firefox and its forks. ... View more

I believe extensions (not addons) would be nice to have, like the ability to add PDF editing functionality directly to the browser after downloading it or maybe image editing functionality, web-design functionality (not like firefox dev but more like squarespace) all the way to like normal desktop applications directly in the browser possibly in a way that leverages the browser's already integrated functionalities and saves space while doing so, i believe they should also be fully seperate from add-ons and have their own page and etc. ...

This seems a security breach waiting to happen: the password search tool finds credentials by partial content of passwords. Visually, it appears like showing and copying a password is guarded by entry of the master password. But quite clearly, the search lets us figure out whether or not someone is using a password at all. This is a problem in situations where a user has logged into Firefox, already provided their master password, and walks away from their desk for a couple of minutes. (This happens regularly with many of my clients. People never lock their desktops. They'll even go home without locking their desktop, so maintenance personell has full access to their computers and networks.) ... View more

It'd be great if Firefox saves the page state of the PDF before closing so the PDF will start from same page when reopened. As of now PDF opens from page 1, which might be bothersome to scroll to the page or remember the page number when closed previously. ... View more

Firefox apparently does not allow users to designate Tabs to open upon Start-up.  It re-opens the tabs that were open on the previous session.  Sometimes a second Firefox Window is opened either intentionally or unintentionally.  The first Window is closed first at end of session, but the second Window is still open.  When the second is closed, those Tab(s) re-open on the next session.  This is frustrating because it is the first Window that I want re-opened in the next session.  My taskbar on my laptop never alerts me how many Firefox Windows are open, so the frustration happens all too often.  Please, let the user enter desired Tabs to be re-opened in the next session. ...

Fedora recently changed to pretty much replacing their remaining usages of DejaVu with the Noto fonts, not only because of consistency with the other languages already using Noto, as well as the better quality of the Noto fonts. See the change wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DefaultToNotoFonts . As well as that, Times New Roman is usually the standard serif font for Web, and the Liberation fonts contains the Liberation Serif font which should be metrically-compatible and look similar enough to Times New Roman. Also, Liberation fonts are pretty much likely to be pre-installed (or at least pulled in as dependency often enough) on any current Linux distro (could also be made a dependency for the distro package).

Bad actors are using look-alike URL's in email and browsers' automatic encoding to direct people to malicious websites. A safe example is https://connеct.mozilla.org , which transforms to https://xn--connct-6of.mozilla.org/ , which doesn't exist. The Roman e is replaced with the Cyrillic е, which looks identical (side-by-side: eеeеeе). Browsers can help reduce the risk of people getting caught by this by having a setting which disables this encoding by default, and offering users the option of enabling it once when they click on a link with disallowed characters or as a permanent setting. Thanks, and best regards, Mike B. ... View more

Time is MONEY! Famous saying and oh, so TRUE. I am a long time user of the Fire Fox browser and have even made some small contributions in the past. My main reason is to deny people like Microsoft and Google as much access to my data and habits as possible. But I also want a browser that is as fast as possible because my time is not infinite. Details of my situation: I am using a fairly old computer with a 64 bit processor and 8G memory, AT&T fiber internet connection, and Windows 10 operating system. I spend a fair amount of time on-line, mostly with the Firefox browser (V 119.0.1 (64-bit)). My observation: When I go to a new internet page and, after a few seconds delay, start to scroll down to find what I wanted to see, that page will jump back to the top, making it necessary for me to start scrolling again. Sometimes this happens two or even three or more times. I am fairly sure that this happens when an item (probably an ad) that had to come from a different web site finally arrived in my computer. A related type of occurrence is after scrolling past a missing item, that items does arrive and the part of the page being displayed jumps either to include it or just upwards by the amount that said item occupies. Both of these occurrences are annoying and, more importantly, TIME CONSUMING on my part.Time that I will never get back. My Suggestion: I would like to suggest two things: 1. Once a viewer of any web page takes any actions on that page, like scrolling, there should be no jumping of the area being viewed. New items can arrive and be incorporated, but that should not interrupt viewing of the page. 2. I know the creators of web sites/pages want to insert advertisements for which they receive payments. But I would like to suggest that the needed space for those ads be a part of the ORIGINAL code used to first set-up a page and that original set-up include WHITE SPACE where those ads will be inserted when they finally arrive. The code for a page already includes markers for those ads so all that is needed is an addition that says a certain amount of white space should be left here. That way, when the ad arrives and is inserted, NOTHING HAS TO JUMP. And the user can continue reading what the user wanted to see. I have worked for advertising companies and companies that earned their money from ads. I do understand how such things work. I also can attest to the FACT that when the ads irritate the viewers, those irritating ads DO NOT WORK. Instead of bringing new customers to the businesses which pay for them, they actually drive customers away. So, both of my suggestions are a WIN, WIN, and WIN. A win for the viewers. A win for the companies who host the web sites. And a win for the advertisers who buy ads there. Oh, wait, a fourth WIN for the people who create the web browsers - like Mozilla. Thanks for reading.

Please bring the “Quit” into Settings menu of Firefox for IOS. The Quit in settings for Android is very useful for closing Firefox for Android quickly and one can set it to also clear the cache and / or history at the same time.  In Firefox for IOS one has to swipe upwards to close, but all the pages used are still open, don’t close and remain in the cache and when opened again, instead of starting from the homepage it opens at the last page one was on. While this may suit some people, I like to start from a clean slate and I’m sure I’m not the only person.  ... View more
