When I open the AI chatbots panel in Firefox using Ctrl+Alt+X, the text input box is not automatically focused. I have to use the mouse to click the textbox before I can start typing. It would be much more convenient if the textbox were focused by default so I could type immediately after using the shortcut. ... View more

Hi! I recently discovered WikiBoard. It's a tool and an approach to research on Wikipedia by showing your visited websites on a map connected through arrows. I think it would be cool to have a browser mode that works the same way instead of using tabs. https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/1or6qmu/i_build_a_visual_wiki_browser_because_i_hate_tabs/ https://www.wikiboard.org/ ...

2FA is becoming increasingly important to protect online accounts. The Mozilla account password manager is quite good out of the box - simple and seamless. There is so much opportunity for Mozilla to expand the password manager linked to a Mozilla account. Integrate a Built in Mozilla 2FA Authenticator App that is locked within the password manager that can auto-fill TOTPs seamlessly with Windows Hello / Bio-metric authentication. Each website entry should contain all the information for that site in one entry, code and login details etc. Similar to apple passwords app. Adding a comments section to each entry where a user can type a small description of the password. In some cases the URL is not recognizable when sorting through the password manager. Adding the option for separate passwords for the Mozilla account and password manager to increase security for users that want that. ... View more

I set Firefox as the default PDF viewer. Currently, when I open a PDF file multiple times—often by mistake—Firefox opens a new tab each time, even if the same PDF is already open. This results in many duplicate tabs, which makes my workspace cluttered and requires me to manually close them one by one. It can be quite inconvenient during daily use. I would like to kindly suggest adding a toggle or setting that allows users to choose whether Firefox should open a duplicate tab for a PDF that is already open. With such a feature, Firefox could simply switch to the existing tab instead of opening another identical one. I believe this would greatly improve usability for many users who frequently view PDFs. ... View more

I would like to report a usability issue regarding how Thunderbird handles the default “From” address when composing new messages in multi-account setups, as well as the limited tools for managing identities. Thunderbird currently chooses the sender identity based on the folder or account from which the user initiates the “New Message” action. This behavior makes sense for users who actively send mail from multiple accounts, but it causes problems for users who only want to receive mail in several accounts while sending exclusively from one primary address. There is currently no user-friendly option in Thunderbird’s standard settings to: define a global default sender identity used across all accounts, override the automatic, folder-based identity selection, or easily manage identities across multiple accounts. The only working solution today requires editing prefs.js manually, duplicating the preferred identity for every account, and placing it as the first identity in the account’s identity list. This workaround is functional but non-intuitive, error-prone, and not accessible through the UI. ✔️Suggested improvements 1. Add a clear option to set a global default identity For example: “Always use this identity as the default ‘From’ address across all accounts.” “Disable folder-based automatic identity selection.” 2. Improve identity management across accounts Thunderbird’s current identity system is tightly bound to individual accounts, and identities cannot be easily reused or copied. Enhancements could include: The ability to copy an identity to another account. Support for global identities that can be assigned to any account without manual duplication. A clearer overview of all identities, independent of account boundaries. A way to set priority or fallback identities at the application level. ✔️Why these changes matter Accidentally sending mail from the wrong account is a common and frustrating issue for many users. Improved identity management and a global default sender option would: simplify common multi-account workflows prevent errors reduce the need for manual configuration file edits improve Thunderbird’s usability in professional and organizational environments Thank you for considering these improvements. ...

The current translation pop-up window (which appears after selecting text on a webpage and choosing the "Translate" option) is fixed in size and position, and it disappears immediately upon switching to another tab. I propose three key improvements to the Firefox Translation UI:  Resizable: The user should be able to drag the edges or corners of the translation window to manually adjust its width and height. Movable: The translation window should be a floating element that can be clicked and dragged to any position on the screen, remaining visible over the webpage content.  Tab-Specific Persistence: The window must not automatically close when the user switches away from the original tab and then returns. The translation window should only be visible when the user has the original tab (where the translation was initiated) active. Why this is important: Reduced Friction: Eliminates the frustration of the window disappearing every time the user temporarily switches tabs (e.g., to look up a related term or a fact on another page). Enhanced Focus: By only appearing on the original tab, it prevents clutter on other tabs while maintaining the utility of a persistent tool for the specific task at hand. ... View more

Hello, I have a suggestion: I created a couple of tab groups in Firefox so I can access them more easily whenever I want to work on something specific. However, to open them I have to go into my history and look for the last time I opened each group. (I’m not sure if there’s another way to keep them handy.) It would be very useful if I could place the tab groups in the bookmarks toolbar so I could open them with a single click. (Chrome already works this way and it’s really convenient for me.) Thank you very much and kind regards, ... View more

When I had to reimage from Win10 to Win11, I used the Firefox Sync feature to ensure that the machine name I was going to reimage had the 'Tabs from other devices' in the sidebar of my other devices - accessible and reassuringly present. It seemed to be working like a charm - once reimaged, on the new computer image I could go into the old PC name's list of tabs and bring them over as needed. Roughly 30 days after that old computer name had been online, that computer name and all of its tabs were GONE from the list of devices. No warning. No prompt. No dialog stating I have a certain number a days of access to that machine's tabs. NOTHING. Why have a feature that is going to disappoint your user base?! Use bookmarks, you might say? What if I hadn't bookmarked the tab yet? Why not keep that offline system persistent or AT LEAST warn the user of the impending deletion/removal?  ... View more

Indico RSS feed can be viewed as a webpage in Thunderbird and we have the ability to download .ics to add to calendar. Thunderbird directs links to .ics files to browser which then needs to be downloaded and opened with thunderbird and then deleted to save space.

On iOS, the search bar has two cancel options (the x and ‘Cancel’ buttons). This is placed right where the ‘Search/Go’ button should be. So the user’s muscle memory from other apps is to cancel out their search or URL after typing it.  you can see from the screenshot the only Search/Go/Enter option is down the bottom right of the keyboard.  please consider swapping out the Cancel button for Search/Go. ...

Edge and Chrome have both added options to allow administrators to set the startpage to be previous session and the home page. We would like to see this option made available in the JSON and mobileconfig settings for Windows and macOS administrators. According to the policy templates page (https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/) the options for startpage are the following Value Description none Start with a blank page (no homepage, no previous session). homepage Start with the homepage in URL policy. previous-session Restore the previous session (all tabs and windows reopen). homepage-locked Always force the homepage at startup, users cannot choose session restore. (Firefox 78) Our internal teams would like the option to allow for both the home page and the previous session to open when the browser is opened. We would like it so it can either be locked to this or set but changeable by the user still after we set it. You can see the Edge RestoreOnStartup options here for an example. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-browser-policies/restoreonstartup. In this case it would be set to 6 instead of the previous 1 or 4 for last session or a URL.  Chrome has a similar setting that can be configured. ...
