Helps people stow away tab groups that are no longer in need but can be used in same way later, you can always open ungrouped by shift selecting all individual tabs or ungrouping after opening. This may benefit even more from some way of merging changes in a tab group into the bookmark folder (including the order of tabs somehow), related idea: Tab group as bookmark folders ... View more

Hello, I would like to send a request for a feature that I think would enhance user security and privacy controls in Firefox browser. Currently, Firefox maintains an internal list of restricted domains (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/quarantined-domains) where browser extensions cannot execute scripts or access content. This is a great protection mechanism. However, the list is hard-coded and cannot be edited by the user. I would appreciate the ability to manually add specific domains (banking sites, health portals, personal cloud services) to the local version of the list. This can be easily implemented using the currently existing mechanisms. Please take my suggestion into consideration. ... View more

I had this idea a long time ago. Sometimes on some sites the sound on the site itself is quite loud and I would not like to reduce the volume in the operating system or the volume of the browser itself. I suggest adding a function to control the audio on separate tabs where the audio is currently playing. ... View more

I appreciate Pocket, but there's something I think would make it much more usable: have an option for pagination (as I have in my epub reader on my phone, where I can swipe left or right or just tap the left or right edge of the text to move back and forward a page at a time). The manual "stop before you go too far" infinite scroll as provided now is a hassle. ... View more

Hello As a tab hoarder, two extensions that have been instrumental at keeping my sanity are 1. Papaly bookmark manager due to it's hierarchical folder-like display of bookmarks and ability to drag and drop organize all links. UI is similar to what I recreated: Recreation of papaly interface in Logseq showing expanded and collapsed folders. 2. Tab manager plus to move tabs between windows mentally designated to different topics. Allows drag and drop , multiple tab selection and even distinguishes minimized windows. Only wish it had additional options like hide tabs/windows like in foxytab and also bookmarking. As you notice, both these extensions have UI similar to that offered by firefox view open tabs and if these simple functionalities are added, would make default experience of firefox infinitely better for a user. Thanks to the two extensions I've been much more savvy with links although currently I've had to drop papaly due to unreliable service. In summary, firefox view can benefit from: 1. Show tab groups like collapsible folder in firefox view 2. Have a bookmarks section similar UI to open tabs view 3. Allow multiple selection of tabs across windows and operations on selected tabs. 4. The ability to minimize/close windows and distinguish them, name them or completely hide them! I organize topics on different windows and I want to hide windows I'm not focused on. No, I won't close them or bookmark them for later. 5. Allow drag and drop operation, especially from open tabs/windows/tab groups to bookmarks and also vice-versa! Resuming browsing of compiled links can be as simple as dragging it into a tab group or window where you're already working on something similar. I think this will satisfy the purpose of firefox view being to view everything in a nice visual with powerful interactable UI. I mean I'll just set my homepage to the bookmarks view if that were possible too ^^ ... View more

I noticed that vertical tabs is finally coming and am currently using Firefox Nightly. A big thank you first of all for making this happen as it was the biggest blocker to coming back to firefox. Similar to other browser deployments of vertical tabs, could you please have the width adjustable instead of fixed? Helps to see the name for quicker tab identification. ... View more

currently there is a sidebar with chat bots. it is useful as there is a description about what chatbots do exist and a list to choose from. but configuring a default and using this one is kind of pointless, i could store it as a bookmark as well. please implement sending the prompt to multiple chat bots and show answer side by side, using whole browser window.   ...

Analogous to how an editor asks before closing an unsaved non-empty document, Firefox should ask before leaving a page with an unsubmitted non-empty form. (By going to a different URL or closing the tab/window.) (By “non-empty” I mean the user did actually input something.) A way for pages to control if the user should be asked before leaving already exists, and this could use that existing mechanism. (By defaulting it to “ask” if the user input something into a form.) This elegantly, simply and naturally solves a long-standing problem in a much better way than automagically keeping the form state somewhere and praying it hasn’t vanished from that buffer before you re-open the page. The most common situation for this is probably on mobile, where one mis-tap on way too tiny imaginary buttons and links suddenly closes the imaginary keyboard or clicks on a link unintendedly (maybe by a “side finger”) or some other crazy thing. And on the PC, by pressing any of the various non-discoverable, barely documented and not configurable keyboard shortcuts that result in such an action. (E.g. Ctrl-Q / Ctrl-W / Ctrl-Shift-W / Tab, Enter [if there is a link there] / Tab, Backspace [always] / Ctrl-[ / even Ctrl-R … Ctrl is often used together with keyboard navigation, for switching between tabs etc or for faster movement in text. Also, on pages with unexpected keyboard shortcuts, like YouTube and GitHub.) I’m literally writing this because it happened too many times in the last 30 minutes. And it has always been a severe annoyance each time. Without Form History Control it would drive me completely off even using input fields in browsers. ... View more

I'm often viewing PDFs in Firefox and I use the tab icons to quickly find the right tab, but when a tab contains a PDF it has no icon. This makes it harder for me to find it quickly as I'm looking for the absence of something. Some icon for a tab containing a PDF or just an icon indicating a tab is viewing a local file would be really useful. ... View more

IMAP is awesome, but has some rough edges around things like IDLE being only able to monitor one folder per connection.  This means users may get an inconsistent experience depending on the number of folders they have, with emails arriving in some showing up immediately, while others have to wait until the regular "check for new messages" check.  JMAP (for example) removes these problems, and for mobile applications, provide a better experience. https://jmap.io/spec.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON_Meta_Application_Protocol ...

Thunderbird should have the ability to disable ALL telemetry and other unknown connections, in fact this should be the default.  The only place Thunderbird should be connecting to is the email provider's POP and SMTP servers, and/or IMAP servers.    If it wants to connect to anything else there should be a way to get a full explanation of where it is going, why it is going there, and we should have the ability to block that connection if it is doing things we don't want it to do.  Some of us do NOT want it trying to sync anything to any online cloud service! A connection that ONLY checks for updates to Thunderbird and does nothing else that would be fine too, but as it is Thunderbird just wants to connect to various thunderbird.net, mozilla.com, and firefox.com addresses with no explanation of why or what it's doing. Thunderbird needs to be much more transparent about what it's connecting to, and give users the opportunity to opt out without having to use external connection blockers such as OpenSnitch (Linux) or Little Snitch (MacOS).  The "just trust us" mentality that many developers have just doesn't cut it in these times, particularly for anyone who values privacy. ...

Give about:config to Firefox for Android and let us customize it the same way we can customize the desktop browser. That... high level of customization was the only reason I started using Firefox back in 2006 and why I still prefer Firefox for the desktop to any other browser. I stopped using FF for Android 2 years ago because many pages simply won't load and hang in the middle of loading whereas the same pages open just fine and fast using Opera for Android. Since I was unable to send you feedback about that, I stopped using it. But now with Mozilla Connect I can share my ideas and hopefully bring FF for Android to the same glory its desktop cousin already has. When I disabled IPv6 on the desktop Firefox last week, many of the pages suddenly started loading instantly bc my ISP, among many others in my country, still supports IPv4 only. So I'm 90% sure that if I can do the same with FF for Android, that will change its performance for the better. But it turned out that the mobile FF didn't have about:config. ... View more

Ublock Origin is one of the most popular add ons, and I think it would be great to integrate it directly into Firefox and Firefox Mobile as a setting. Perhaps it could be part of the 'strict' setting of the tracking protection, or it could be a separate setting for blocking ads. Microsoft Edge has a built in optional ad blocker on mobile, and I think having this in Firefox on desktop and mobile would be a great benefit, rather than relying on users knowing about it and having them download it from the add on store. ...

Currently, the sidebar allows account access and switching (tested with ChatGPT), and changing the account in the sidebar also changes the account logged into ChatGPT in my main browser tabs. This presents a problem for users like me who rely on Firefox Containers to manage multiple accounts. My typical setup is: Default (non-container) environment: Logged into my work/school account. Personal container: Used for casual conversations, silly questions, and random chats. The issue is that the sidebar is not container-aware. When I log into my personal account via the sidebar, it also overrides the account in my non-container tabs—disrupting the separation I rely on. Proposed solutions: Enable Firefox Container support in the sidebar, so users can assign container contexts to the sidebar session. Isolate sidebar authentication from main tab sessions, allowing sidebar usage to remain independent regardless of tab logins. Either of these changes would greatly improve the experience for users who juggle multiple accounts and rely on containers for clean separation. ... View more

I also want to throw my hat into the ring. There are some things that Chrome does better than Firefox, and I will list one area where Firefox could improve in future releases. Browser History Page Mozilla should seriously consider adding this feature to Firefox because it directly addresses a significant gap in user experience. Users today expect a browser that not only protects their privacy but also offers them the tools they need to navigate their online activities effectively. Why isn't there an about:history in Firefox yet? Implementing a detailed history page that opens in a new tab, similar to Chrome, would empower users to easily track their browsing habits over time. This isn't just about convenience; it's about giving users the ability to find important information from weeks, months, or even years ago. Limiting history to just 7 days feels outdated and restrictive, especially when users often need to revisit older content for work, research, or personal reasons. Adding this feature would significantly enhance user satisfaction and loyalty, making Firefox a more appealing choice for those who value both privacy and functionality. ... View more
