In the Desktop & Dock settings on my mac i have set `Double-Click a window's title bar` to `Fill`, and it works not only with native applications, but others as well, for example Discord, Chrome etc. I am not a macOS developer so I don't know if there are any obstacles that prevent this feature from being added, but i use it very often, and it is a bit annoying that Firefox doesn't support it. For reference I am using an Apple Sillicon MBP with Sequoia 15.6.1, and Firefox 15.6.1. Note: I know there is a keyboard shortcut for doing this, but I am used to double clicking the title bar when adjusting my windows across the screen. ... View more

Tab Groups are currently implemented in Chrome such that closing all of the browser's windows (or even just a window with a tab group in it) does not eliminate the list of existing tab groups; they're saved, and the user can click on a tab group in the list and respawn the tabs in that tab group. If I recall correctly, Brave implements it this way too, as does Safari (though it looks different, obviously). To me, this is the killer-feature aspect of Tab Groups: they're like temporary bookmarks, so even if my browser crashes, I don't lose what I was working on, but I don't have to go to the trouble of saving (and updating) a bunch of bookmarks to get that effect for things that I only want to save temporarily. It would be great if Firefox added this ability as well. Thanks! ... View more

Support Firefox to be able to use different tab view modes on different windows! For example, two Firefox windows on different monitors, in my situation below: - One on a 1920*1080 hori screen, with vertical tab sidebar disabled - One on a 1080*1920 vert screen, with vertical tab sidebar enabled for this window only in this case. Because the horizontal and vertical screen experiences are different, it is very reasonable to make the sidebar selectable by window! 😄 It brings much more convenience, at least for situations just like mine.

I love Firefox and it has always been my favorite. I’m enjoying the design improvements, but I feel it’s missing the option to place the address bar in the side panel along with the vertical tabs, making the screen space cleaner and more fluid. ... View more

v136 introduced dynamically-expanding tab sizes on tabs with audio. This can be laggy though, as a page loads and the video/audio starts playing, causing misclicks. The tabs will also then shrink back down eventually once the audio's been idle for awhile, which can be visually distracting. There's some kind of thing that can be done with userchrome.css, but this is a workaround that's not viable for most users.

I've been using arc browser as an alternative to FF, and they have a really helpful feature that is a keyboard shortcut to copy the current page link without losing focus from the page and no need of changing your flow. I've been looking for alternatives, and the closer I found is to execute command +  L and command + C, but even if I don't need to touch the mouse or tab key to copy the link, I lose focus and is not the best experience. Another nice detail on this functionality is when you use their shortcut (shift + command + C), they remove all trackers from the URL Firefox   ... View more

I tend to have online content for messages on. It is too tedious to whitelist or blacklist everything. I wish we could set any mail that finds it way into the junk or spam folders to NOT have online content. If I decide to move a message into the inbox, then go ahead and download everything. ...

Firefox controls the browser's prefetching feature through options like network.predictor.enable-prefetch in 'about:config'. However, these settings do not apply to downloads. When users click to download and then choose where to save the download content, they notice that the download has already been in progress for a while. It is recommended to improve this issue by allowing users to choose whether to pre-download before selecting the download file's save location. There are the same issues when visiting video sites like YOUTUBE. ... View more

The custom wallpaper feature defaults to centering custom wallpapers, which can be a bit inconvenient. I suggest implementing either completely custom cropping (such as moving around a preview box to select the cropping) or adding a selection of cropping options (such as middle, top, bottom, middle right, etc.) This would allow for further customization!  ...

In noticed the updated Thunderbird Android webpage is highlighting that it can support multiple email accounts within TB Android/K-9. (an existing feature). It would be super useful to also be able to MOVE emails between different email accounts, as opposed to the current restriction of only moving email within folders of the existing account. I realize that it's trickier, but it sure would be very handy. Thanks.   ... View more

Previously, it was possible to start typing a search engine's keyword into the URL bar, after which the search engine would appear in the suggestions below. You could select it by repeatedly pressing the down arrow key. The bar would then clear and you could start typing your search and press Enter to send it. However, this is no longer possible since the introduction of the selector on the left-hand side of the bar. This basically requires the use of a mouse, which is inconvenient when typing. Technically, it can be selected using Shift+Tab, the down arrow and Enter, but there is no search that requires pressing the down arrow many times. Firefox ... View more

Currently Thunderbird supports system tray on Windows - just close the software and an icon will be presented on Windows system tray. Unfortunately this feature is missing on Linux. In past there were several plugins to do that, like several versions of Minimize-to-tray, however the plugin technology for Thunderbird (and Firefox) has changed over time, and these plugins are no longer supported. Currently if I want to use this feature on Linux I need install an additional software like systray-x or KDocker, which it is weird. So, please turn this feature native for Linux too! ... View more

Inspired by https://github.com/classvsoftware/under-new-management it seems like the browser itself ought to watch out for extensions changing ownership, and give users the option to decide whether they want to keep using it. This appears to be a very active form of abuse right now, where extension authors are inundated with buyout offers from sleazy people/companies who will add in tracking or whatever. Perhaps this could take the form of automatically revoking all permissions on an ownership change, and re-requesting? ... View more

This would allow for Electron-like frameworks that work on top of Gecko and SpiderMonkey instead of Chromium via CEF. It would also be good for embedding webpages in desktop applications. As it stands, CEF is the go to for this along with some WebKit-based options like WPE. ... View more

Hi In Firefox Mobile and Firefox it would be useful to clear history and cache of websites visited that is older than a certain amount of time or before a specific date. For example, clear data that is older the 3 months, or older 6 months, or older than 14.04.22. At the moment you can only clear recent data or everything. This would allow you to free space used up by cached files on websites that you are not visiting frequently or recently. This is particularly handy if your mobile device does not have much free storage, but you still want to benefit from reduced download time of having cached files from websites you visit regularly or websites you have visited recently and will look at again soon but will not likely visit again in the long term. Thank you for upvoting this idea! ... View more

Scenario: A webpage's main content is in a foreign language (say, Japanese), but the page's UI (headers, footers, content headers) are in a language that does not need translation (eg, English). The user will attempt to manually trigger a translation of the page using Firefox's built-in Translate tool (BETA).  Current behavior: The translate tool reads the page's language, and always puts that as the source language. If the source language is a preferred language, the output language will be blank, and needs a dropdown item to be selected.  Suggested behavior: The translate tool should ALWAYS put the user's preferred language in the output by default. If a user is attempting to translate a page, it is very likely they are trying to translate it INTO their preferred language, not out of it. The input language should be blank (ie, how the output currently behaves) - perhaps it should even attempt to detect what Unicode blocks are present on the page, and use it to guess the language the user wants to translate from.  Why: Trying to translate a page that claims to be English (but isn't) into English requires the user to first change from English in the source language to the actual language (which they would need to determine and find in the dropdown), and then select English in the output. It adds lots of user friction that could be easily avoided. ... View more
