Please unhide browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir and add it as an option on our main Settings page. I've noticed for awhile that files I've opened to view were being automatically downloaded into my downloads folder, but I haven't investigated it until now. I found out this goes back to 2022! My downloads folder is cluttered with files I only wanted to view and not save.  On a previous thread on the Mozilla Support forum, I found that a new hidden setting was added so we could change this back to the old behavior of the automatically-downloaded files going to a temporary folder instead of being saved in our downloads folder. We can use about:config to find browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir and toggle it to "true."  (The files are then deleted when we clear our history, which is normally when we close Firefox as long as that is in our settings.) Instead of our having to dig around on the forum to find how to change the automatic downloads, the setting needs to be added to the Main settings page under "Downloads." Then those of us who wish to "always" be asked where to save files will be able to find this setting and change it to our preference. If I want to download something to keep, I will intentionally save it. If not, I expect anything I read online to remain in a temporary cache folder and be deleted when I clear history (which is when I close Firefox, because that is what is selected in my settings). Again, please unhide browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir and add it as an option on our main Settings page. Thank you. ... View more

The title doesn't quite give justice to what I propose, but I couldn't find a better way of putting it... There are two related problems which can happen when manipulating objects, such as photos, models or other objects within a room: Grabbing and object and flinging it Sometimes when selecting and object and making it fall on the ground, or "giving it gravity", it will pass through the floor In each case, that object will go flying off into infinity. And they don't slow down, so if it was something needed, the only solution is to delete it and upload a new version. Perhaps we moved a little too quickly that object and it got sent up and away. Or we wanted to give an object gravity but the navigation mesh didn't catch it. To make sure this isn't just a simple bug report 🙂, I've come up with the following idea: adding an option for the object, when selecting it from the Objects pane, to be "recalled" and returned to its previous coordinates. This would allow us to bring back an object accidentally sent where no avatar has gone before. It would also guarantee that an object will always be literally at hand and easily manageable. Furthermore it might even be used otherwise as a "back" option when moving objects voluntarily and changing our mind! ... View more

Often a reply-all to a thread goes off topic. It's a good idea to change the subject line to indicate that. It can also be useful to send a new message to a group of email addresses by replying-all to a previous email to them and clearing the body. Currently, TBird keeps all of these in the original thread. I propose that changing the subject should start a new thread. This could replace the current behavior, or alternatively be a configuration choice for the user. I support @Flapjack's proposal for more extensive control, and suggest giving it a thumbs-up too. But this would get some of the functionality and be simpler to implement. ... View more

Dear Mozilla Team, I would like to propose a strategic consolidation of Mozilla Connect, Firefox Help, and Support Mozilla websites into a single, cohesive platform. Currently, these three separate websites offer valuable resources, but a unified approach could significantly improve user experience and community engagement. By integrating these platforms under one umbrella, users can seamlessly transition between different sections dedicated to Mozilla Connect, Firefox Help, and Support, creating a more intuitive and user-friendly environment. This consolidation not only simplifies navigation but also encourages cross-functional exploration. Users seeking assistance can easily access relevant support materials, while those interested in Mozilla's broader ecosystem can seamlessly explore Mozilla Connect. This integrated approach could also foster a stronger sense of community, as users engage with various aspects of Mozilla's offerings in a more interconnected manner.   I believe this strategic move towards consolidation has the potential to enhance overall user satisfaction, strengthen community bonds, and showcase Mozilla's diverse offerings in a more accessible manner. Thank you for considering this suggestion, and I look forward to witnessing the positive impact of a more integrated online presence for Mozilla.

Hello, I was very surprised that Thunderbird does not offer an option to show the e-mail-adress of the sender in a column in the table (like the columns "From" and "Correspondents"). This new column would be very useful to quickly identify spam/junk e-mails. This feature can be added with add-ons:  "Show Address Only" by R.I.P. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/show-address-only/ "Full Address Column" by lkosson https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/full-address-column/ This feature seems very basic and simple and like it should not require an add-on. If you do a Google search for this feature, then you find many people, who have asked for this feature for many years. ... View more

Please, work with nVidia to add support for RTX Video Super Resolution in Firefox. Nearly 80% of internet bandwidth today is streaming video, and 90% of that content streams at 1080p or lower. Many of us use displays with resolutions higher than 1080p, and Firefox uses basic upscaling techniques, which result in final images that are soft or blurry. PC users also sit close to their screens, which makes the quality of upscaling even more noticeable, and is a good argument for a higher level of processing and refinement. I prefer to use Firefox for everything I do, but I now feel torn because the difference is so noticeable, and I stream a great deal of video. Again, please, reach out to nVidia and work with them to implement support for RTX VSR. It really makes a difference, and would eliminate any inclination I might have to use a different browser for streaming video. ... View more

The basic idea is reading a part of an article in read mode. Sometimes it is useful for reading long comments in discussion pages for focusing. Usage: 1) Selecting a text on the page by holding mouse left click. 2) Right click on the selected text then click on the "Reader view for selection" option 3) Isolated text would be view in the read mode of firefox.

We get S/MIME user certificates for functional addresses (e.g. support@example.com) from a commercial provider that do not contain a Common Name, but just E-Mail in the DN and in the SAN. When rolling over to a new certificate, you have at least two of them in your Mozilla cert-store. If you have several functional addresses configured in your TB, it is impossible to find the correct certificate to change to, without seeing that e-mail-address (for those certificates without a CN). That means your only solution is to click yourself through every valid certificate in your list, until you find the right one. To avoid this senseless task, the table of "your certificates" should also display the e-mail from the SAN. Windows provides a workaround for the same problem in Outlook, by allowing you to set a "display name" for each of your user certificates in certmgr. ... View more

When I sync tabs between Firefox for Mac and Firefox Mobile for Android, the Open Tabs of the other device appear in a mixed up order than they are originally sorted. Hence, when I bulk open the tabs from my mobile on my desktop, they have a different order than on my mobile. The other way – bulk open tabs from the desktop on my mobile – wouldn't work at all.

Progressive Web apps are an important feature of a browser that Firefox is the only one missing. For some, it can be the reason to switch to another browser. In other cases like for the Steamdeck, it's what imposed the choice to only include Chrome in the SteamOS interface. Other problem even for avid Firefox users, since I wanted Social apps on my pc I had to get them on the Microsoft Store which is an Edge PWA that opens every link in an Edge window, making me use this... other browser. ...

In an effort to keep safe, I find myself frequently going back through [Manage Data] & manually deleting all of the cookies I know I don't want to keep, but keeping the ones I do need, or consider "safe" (or "necessary"), so I don't have to keep login-in into these sites & keep the data needed from them to continue working smoothly (from session to session). If there was a [button-1], on [Manage Data], to say "remember these cookies" or basically, your "necessary set", you could then, with the click of another [button-2] delete all of the unnecessary cookies, blindly, whether you know what they are or not, that are not part of your "necessary set" - I manually do this all of the time. If we could automate this, that would be awesome. [button-1] could be called [Remember Safe (or Necessary) Cookies] & [button-2] could be called [Delete Unsafe (or Unnecessary) Cookies] - a definite "time saver". ... View more
