I really like the sidebar, and I think vertical tabs are amazing, even though really new. I want to make a lot of extensions like "side view" that open a website as a sidebar popup, for example a dictionary. This would be really useful. But currently the vertical tabs are in the same sidebar, so a sidebar popup will be next to the sidebar, which is not ergonomic as it squeezes the main website to the very left. See this image: Instead, 2 options would suffice for this: 1. Allow having the vertical tabs in a separate sidebar on the other side With 2 sidebars this could then look like this. Tabs are one, sidebar is the other. I think this makes sense? As the vertical tab bar does not have the default "sidebar spacer" this also looks really nice, not like 2 sidebars at all. 2. Allow addons to spawn a window on the other side The popular (even recommended!) extension "SideBerry" is basically the same as the new vertical tabs UI-wise. It integrates nicely and works well, at least for now. But with the new sidebar, Sideberry seems to use the "spawn popup window from sidebar" feature so it cannot be displayed at the same time as for example a "SideView" window would, which makes it a pretty bad tab bar. You would need to switch between them which is really bad UX. So if Sideberry could spawn a separate popup on the opposite side, it would look like this: Sideberry in this case would not be launched from the sidebar anymore but from an extension menu, or always shown. I am not sure how buggy that would be, for example the "overlay popup" or the "Orbit" extension covers part of the page and thus does not work at all. So that popup would need to restrict the usable space to render websites, so that they adapt instead of being overlaid. Regardless, any of those 2 features would be really nice! Until then I will stay with horizontal tabs which is kinda sad. ... View more

In a message list, an email will show 3 chunks of text: sender, subject, and preview. The preview text should appear on its own separate line, for readability and glancability. Currently, it appears on the same line as the subject (I have it set to show sender above subject). I will frequently get emails from the same sender and subject line, meaning the preview lines are the only way to differentiate the emails -- it is tricky to scan through the email list when the preview text potentially appears part way along a line and sometimes part way along the 4th+ line if it has a long subject. It is easy to identify the preview text for an unread message (due to bold sender/subject), but this is not easy with "read" messages. An example of dark mode with some messages read/unread is attached. ... View more

When a message list is empty, it should show a text message and (ideally) an image to signify that the list is deliberately empty. It could initially be something as simple as the app logo in the centre of the list view with the text "No messages". Similar approach in Gmail is down in the attachment. ... View more

Hello Firefox Team, I’d like to suggest adding a built-in option in Firefox (Stable version) to easily disable WebRTC through the main Settings menu or via a toggle button. Currently, the only way to disable WebRTC is through about:config by modifying media.peerconnection.enabled, which is not available or accessible in all stable builds, especially on mobile platforms. Given the growing concerns around IP leaks, privacy and user control, it would be very helpful to have a user-friendly way to turn WebRTC off without diving into advanced configuration. This would: Enhance privacy for non-technical users Reduce reliance on third-party extensions Be consistent with Firefox’s strong privacy-focused reputation Thank you for considering this feature! I appreciate the work the team does to make Firefox more private and user-respecting. ... View more

Hello, I'm currently using vertical tabs and tab groups features in firefox and am extremely in love with both of them so here are some suggestions to make these more powerful. These are what I assume simple to implement but have very high impact on UX. 1. Multiple tab select: While using tab groups, I often want to select multiple tabs and don't want to use the mouse to do so, for which this suggestion: Keyboard Shortcut to Select multiple, or all Tabs - Enhancement Suggestion would be extremely useful. My recommendation is to also implement Ctrl+shift+alt+home/end to select tabs to the beginning and tabs to the end. This will also allow selecting multiple tabs and close with ctrl+W very quickly. PS. also some missing keyboard shortcuts such as this Tab wrap - ctrl + home or ctrl + end would also be really useful. 2. Keyboard shortcut to group selected tabs: Finally add a keyboard shortcut to group the selected tabs. Currently I'm testing nightly vertical tabs on-hover and I find it clunky to group tabs properly so this not only gives users more options but makes unexpected ff UI behaviors manageable.  ...

I've been using popfile to sort emails for many years, and it recently stopped working for most of my accounts, apparently due to an SSL problem.  It hasn't been supported or updated for several years, and it's dead for me now.  Basically, it's a proxy that analyzes all mail before it actually hits the inbox.  It sounds like exactly like what the junk filter does with only junk/not junk.   Popfile uses as many buckets as you want to create to tell the email program which folder to use when storing the mail - mine had about 15, for work, family, clock repair, radio control, tech newsletters, spam, etc.  After training, it's worked almost flawlessly for years.  It modifies the message subject by adding [family], [clock], [tech], etc.  Example:   "[family] I'm in the hospital" when my brother sent exactly that message a few months ago.  And a simple "If subject contains [family] move it into the Family subfolder" filter does the job instead of manually creating a complicated "if From contains Stuntz" or "if From contains Anderson" or "if From contains Larson" etc. filter for large families with several different last names. If you get an email from your mother-in-law that gets put into the Work folder, just tell it "no, that email belongs in Family, not Work."  You don't even need to specify her name. The baysian filter will figure it out from the header & content of the email. You DO need to manually drag it into into the right folder, but you DON'T need to manually modify a filter to make future emails go the right folder.  Training was remarkably quick & easy. It was pretty good after the first day of training, & gets better & better as you correct its mistakes.  And the mistakes get fewer & fewer as it learns. ... View more

Appreciate the vertical tabs, and the parent/child tabs in 137. But as the subject states, I'd like the child tabs to be indented just a bit - I generally have 3 or more parent tabs open, each with child tabs, and it's a bit hard to quickly identify the parent tabs as 137 is today. Plus, I'd like to be able to close the parent and have all the child tabs close as well. ... View more

This extension, which is based on Firefox's Reader View, allows to save a website in the reader-view-form as a HTML file: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/readability-based-reader-view/ Will it be possible to add this functionality to the built-in reader view?

I like to keep many important emails in the Local Folder.  But, I want to keep them in my inbox to view on various devices for a while, so I can't just move them on receipt.  I currently do this with manually run message filters, but I have more than 30, and each has to be be individually run.  It takes a lot of time. As a alternate, if there were a choice to have a filter run automatically after a time delay from receipt, 14 days, for example, it would really help make it easier to keep my inbox manageable.  This feature would also be helpful in deleting "useful" ads (e.g. Target, JC Penny) ...

When you popup a tab with the donation suggestion, and the user is already typing an email that they're writing, or something else, it's likely to disrupt them and cause them to annoyedly close the window. Pop it up on boot or nothing. This sort of thing, much like the firefox 'congratulations, you're on a new version' is very confusing to newcomers and computer illiterate types, who I work with. If you want them to stay with thunderbird, many delay the popup until after they've been using it for a month, or something. ... View more

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
