Right now, Firefox customization outside of using legacy CSS feels a bit like a chore. It's split up into several different pages. Add-ons Extensions being bundled with themes in a separate page is really confusing outside of the context of both coming from addons.mozilla.org. I think that there should be a dedicated settings section in Firefox for browser appearance, just like in Chrome, Edge, and Vivaldi (which even has a dedicated themes section to go alongside it).   Some things that could be in the section: - All the existing Firefox Home settings - Themes - Light/Dark theme preference for websites - A shortcut to customizing the toolbar and showing bookmarks It just seems redundant to have a whole section dedicated to Firefox home. Especially some users may not even use Firefox home in favor of an add-on. Or just want to change the theme of the browser (And settings seems like the first logical place to look for that).  ...

In Firefox, I find myself duplicating tabs for various reasons, but it's only possible with the mouse. I like controlling Firefox functions with the keyboard, as it's more convenient for controlling from a remote keyboard than a mouse sometimes (Maybe I'm just weird). I would appreciate a keyboard shortcut for duplicating the current tab, staying on the first tab if possible ("When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is unchecked, but it still switches to the new duplicate). ...

I am one of the IT managers of a higher education institution with a few thousand users, mainly using Thunderbird for at least ten years (and probably more). Experience has shown me that searching for messages was a small weakness of Thunderbird (which is, in spite of everything, the best email program ^^). One of the problems with the search is that there are two ways to search: the standard search and the quick search. The standard search is complex for most users, and produces unintelligible results. It is never used, except by the geekiest 0.5%. The quick search works well, it is quick and easy to use, and the explanation of its use is quite simple. But it has two shortcomings: - Using the escape key makes the quick search box disappear. Even there is a button to make it reappear, users do not associate the button with the quick search, and they do not know how to make it reappear (the majority do not know the names of the interface elements). Most of the time, they are not even aware that the quick search disappeared when they accidentally hit the escape key. The use of the escape key to perform this action is an interface anomaly, it responds to a logic that is incomprehensible for this key. Most interface elements appear or disappear through a voluntary action in a display-related menu, not a keyboard shortcut (except perhaps for zoom). - The quick search does not search into sub-folders. I therefore suggest two "small" improvements about the quick search: 1- Disable the hiding of the quick search area with the escape key. 2- Add the search function into the sub-folders, with, on the interface side, a checkbox "in the sub-folders" next to the quick search. Thanks for reading 🙂 JC ... View more

Often I want to find the first occurrence of a search term directly or skip some matches to quickly find the location of interest in big pdf files or websites.  To find the very first matching in an already open file, e.g. to look up an acronym again, you would have to click previous match a  million times or jump to first page first and search again. The desired functionality could be implemented by making the "x of y matches" part editable, similar to the page selection view in pdf viewer. This way, one could also skip n matches if its already clear, that the location of interest must be further below. ... View more

I have some ideas and I hope they will help in the future. I wanted to know if a super optimized version of firefox is possible, for those who very often require a limited ram consumption, a system that loads images at low quality, or high quality etc., in order to save the loading speed (if this it is expected). The second idea is to better customize your user experience. There are so many types of users, and many of the features are useful, others may never be used. Precisely the goal is to aim at saving data, pushing on optimizations. I also ask to be able to create something that allows you to activate or deactivate settings based on what type of user he is, not sacrificing much navigation quality. Consequently, based on the activation and deactivation of the settings, allow you to view some info on performance, if activating or deactivating it you can save or not ram or cpu and which features you lose and sacrifice. Basically it is something that many users are looking for, and to better customize a user experience, and optimizing the app I think is the right way to meet these needs, ignored by only making applications and in modern operating systems that are very heavy compared to 20 Years ago. ...

When I open the bookmarks menu I see: View bookmarks sidebar Search bookmarks Manage bookmarks Bookmarks toolbar > View bookmarks toolbar Other bookmarks > Empty Then I see my actual bookmarks. 1) I don't use the sidebar. The option to view should be a separate removable icon on the toolbar. 2) I don't need to search my bookmarks, but I get that many people do. The option also exists in the main menu. Does it need to be in both? 3) Manage bookmarks is also in the main menu, and duplicated at the bottom of the bookmarks menu. Having it in the main menu is sufficient. 4) This opens a sub-menu where the only option is to view the bookmarks toolbar. I don't use the bookmarks toolbar because I use the bookmarks menu. This option also exists in the main menu. The option to view should be a separate removable icon on the toolbar. 5) All my bookmarks are in my folders. A separate folder for 'Other' is redundant. I can make my own one if that's what I wanted. This option should be removable. When I open the bookmarks menu I just want to see bookmarks. Right now I have to skip past items on the menu that I never use to find my bookmarks halfway down the screen. I like that Firefox is user-configurable, so how about these? ... View more

The default reply header goes like "XYZ wrote:". It's a simple line, and the entire quoted message content is indented by a quote character or element. Signature goes way to the end. That's the usenet quoting style. It's nice if everybody does that, but in reality, nobody does it and it results in TOFU which is unreadable. Outlook uses a different style. It doesn't indent the quoted message but moves it to the end and inserts a header that includes some useful information, like the sender name, address, and date and recipients. This is the common and expected style in business communication. Sadly, almost everyone uses Outlook and expects the same style. But it's actually very practical. It's just Thunderbird that can't achieve this without extensions (which all broke in the past). There are some hacks with hidden options in Thunderbird, but they have negative side effects like removing all existing quote indents even in the quoted content! So Thunderbird will then manipulate the quoted message (and make quotes indistinguishable)! Also, the date format must be configurable, or at least universally understood. When I'm writing to other countries, my local date format will not be understood there. This is also very short-sighted. ... View more

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, I recommend that Mozilla spearhead a campaign advocating for the retirement of Fax Machines in favor of contemporary alternatives like Digital Scanning.
