  I'm often going through mails and deciding to delete or archive one after another. Since I can delete them with backspack or del thats fine but theres no hint on hovering over the archive button on it having a keyboard combo to activate. What really bugs me is that I often click archive on one mail after another and then suddenly the buttons change. I understand that different kind of mail offer different kind of actions but this is really annoying for me and I would love the default buttons always stay in the same place for consistency. I'm curious to see of others feel the same way and maybe there's also another solution but I'd hat it to stay like this. ... View more

Here's the thread:  https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/firefox-sync-does-not-sync-password-deletion-keeps-deleted/m-p/56908 I unfortunately stumbled upon this issue after working for hours on my laptop, cleaning up old duplicate logins for various website accounts, as I progressed through the password list updating due to the latest cybersecurity breach. Only to find out that on my sync'd desktop, the new password were transferred, but none of the old defunct accounts (that I deleted on my laptop) were deleted from my desktop.  Or my phone for that matter. Now I have to spend more hours on my desktop finding and deleting the old logins.  I researched a solution (see final post in link above), but something like that is above my comfort level, so I'm hoping Mozilla can do the right thing and sync deletions as well as new and updated passwords. Thank you! ... View more

Please allow users to tap and hold a bookmark to drag it to a custom position. This should be possible on the app too. The Chrome app has had this function for years. For some reason Firefox limits us to alphabetical or chronological order in the app. There is now also a "sort by custom order" option, but this only seems to shuffle around my bookmarks to a random order!! Please sort out custom bookmark reordering in the app once and for all. Otherwise great app.   ... View more

hi, it's good that there is a dark mode option in the mozilla settings, but it doesn't seem to be forced for every website. there are so many websites like even this one here that doesn't seem to be available in dark mode. other browsers like opera gx for example has an option to "force dark mode" on websites. this option should also be available in mozilla firefox because i don't want to be forced to use opera gx just because i'm constantly flashbanged while browsing the web via firefox. it's extremely tiring for my eyes and annoying on top of that. so will there be an option to force every single website to be viewed in dark mode? not every websites seems to have an option to manually actiavte dark mode in case firefox is unable to apply the dark mode. thanks in advance! mytea ...

What? Create a view with TABS. Actual visible tabs. Optional, of course. Effectively desktop/tablet mode. Why? Convenience and visibility. It takes basically twice as much taps to create, or switch between tabs. Also, you need to tap to see, what you have even open. So let me expand: My primary browser on desktop is Firefox, so I would greatly benefit from the linked account, also mobile Firefox (android) does allow add-ons, which is great. However, I am a power user, and I really use lots of tabs. Not necessarily in the terms of large volumes, let's say usually between 5 and 10, but rather dynamically opened, used, then switched elsewhere. Currently, I am basically forced to use Opera on my Android device, as this is as far as I know the only browser, that has actual tabs, so I can all the times see, what I have open, and conveniently switch between tabs on one tap, or worst case, one slide and one tap. Firefox, on the other hand, follows whatever Google came up with years ago. I do remember times, when actually Firefox was the browser with tabs (around Android 4). So in the end, for a person, that needs to switch a lot, the current mode is basically unusable, because in average, the same action takes basically twice as much steps. I am attaching a screenshot for a comparison between Firefox and Opera for Android.   Oh and one more thing. I know about the swipe between tabs. That is not a solution, as it requires you to remember the order of the tabs, which is a challenge, if you have many open, and some of them opened dynamically from other tabs, as I do have it. So then you just end up scrolling .... of course in a wrong direction, because your tab that you need will be elsewhere ... heh.     So please, can we make this happen? Thanks!   ... View more

Hello! As a project for one of my MBA classes, I came up with an idea for a browser sub-application, with a simple MVP screen shot as attached, I hope you might find helpful. I have to imagine you or your competitors have already thought of this, or something similar, but I couldn't find it on the web. In any case, my own background is as a mechanical engineer (https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-schiavi-p-e-m-b-a-b0275093/) and I have worked in IPR in the past. My employer performed an inhouse IPR assessment and released the rights to me as it's not pertinent to their industry; however, I thought it may be worth something to you. I'm not at all looking to get rich pitching the idea but would ask for reasonable compensation if the business model appears valuable. I was going to pitch it to Google, as well, but I figured they already have enough market share 😉 If you would like for me to discuss this further, and share more documents around the business case/business model canvas, with one of your product managers, please let me know as I'd be happy to discuss it. Thank you!   ... View more

Google searches are preceded by an "AI Overview" now (paragraphs generated from text scraped from the web).  It's been suggested earlier that Firefox remove these overviews with a browser extension.  But since Firefox already lets you customize your search results, how about also offering a "links only" sub-choice for search results from Google and other sites? This is highly in demand, and might increase Firefox's popularity.  It would also be appreciated by web publishers, who are facing a "traffic apocalypse" after search engine's stopped prioritizing link results.  (They're also concerned that the overviews are re-publishing information from their sites without licensing it -- even before you get to the issue of AI-generated content being sometimes inaccurate...)   ...

split tab processing. this idea / anomaly concerns the main heart of the browser. i don't know if it has ever happened to you, it has happened to me very often, even with different PCs with win10 and win11, never with win7 or older. when i use the browser, with multiple tabs (taps) open, they block (freeze), if one goes into standby, as if they were connected even if the connection is working normally. it happens to me when i download files or if a tab goes into standby for server-side login. you could manage the various tabs separately, maybe in groups of pairs or three but not all together. at the moment i solve it using 2 distinct browsers (duplicate) i would add that an optimization of RAM consumption would be needed. ...

Simple and super practical improvement for Thunderbird Android 10.1 On the PC version, there's an option for writing emails called "Edit as new message." On a mobile device, this would be a super practical option in the Thunderbird Android version. Thank you ... View more

please add the option to disable scrolling of tabs when there are a lot of them. Due to the fact that they are hidden, their number is not felt, and a person does not notice how they are replenished with each use of the browser. Scrolling through tabs is a useful feature, but it can be inconvenient for some. ... View more

Recently switched from Opera, and going back to Opera. My favorite feature was being able to close any tab I was hovering over by holding Alt and Left Clicking. No need to change primary tab, no need to navigate to a tiny "x" box, just alt and click. This feature is so integrated into my daily use now that not having it is a deal-breaker for me. I'm not a fan of Chromium, so Please Mozilla, integrate this so I can get off Chromium. ... View more

As title says, the tab unloader should have an option to automatically suspend tabs based on inactivity time alone. I've found that the current unloader based on automatic memory usage estimate is kinda lackluster and it feels like often it simply doesn't work, an option to simply unload the tab after X minutes of inactivity would probably be better for most people. There are several extensions who do that, but it would be great to have it as a native feature https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-suspender/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search ...

Imagine you open your mailbox interface, where all your chats are collected, those in e-mail traffic, those from Telegram, those from Whatsapp, those from Instagram, all APIs are made dockable “internally via login”, usable free of charge on a donation basis, so you can manage all your conversations in the Thunderbird chat browser, you can save them, you can view the histories, there are multichats in e-mail form (which dies off over time anyway and becomes chat histories), there are also group chats from different messengers, so you have a free and central interface of all “intermediate masks” or inter-faces between human and team or human and human, or human and AI and human. . so you have your “channels” that bring the fullness of receiving and sending to one place, to a free but donatable place, Thunderbird, also a place from which newsletters can be easily managed and sent via mail distribution lists and group chats, so conversation becomes a human good, one that has nothing to do with status in the system, one that is freely usable and accessible to everyone, one that serves humanity and not bureaucracy and the curtailment of freedom. . in short, without getting politically involved, it would allow every person in the world to connect all chats with each other on each of their devices - what for? - to pursue his life tasks, his private topics, his business topics, all securely and freely managed in the Thunderbird dashboard, therefore everywhere, synchronized, encrypted and decentralized. This could also create a shared address book, which is simply re-imported when you change your smartphone, which is always up to date, and even if your cell phone number changes, if you lose your smartphone or cell phone or laptop, even if you lose a chat system like Whatsapp because Meta goes bankrupt, even then, for example, the freedom and ownership of the chat would remain, because it's not the channel that matters, but the content that is sent through the channel, what fills the channel, and that's what should be human property, something that is the intellectual property of every author, that is shared with recipients who are allowed to participate in it, who should dock, that's the whole reason for it.... So I think it's time to get out of the old way of thinking about post and letters and e-mails or e-fax or other outdated media formats, to look beyond that and take Thunderbird to a new level, to the one where channels are just interfaces that can be docked and undocked, but where the content belongs to the user and so it's all about Thunderbird as a control center, where this whole storm is networked in a cleaner structure and where newsletter mails can also be “sent out” together with group chats, where there are blacklists, whitelists, spamlists, where an AI internally filters all this properly, automatically unsubscribes from mails that are not read within a period of time, and archives them, also correlates chats and mails and derives a meaning from them, which in turn leads to a linked or connected double chat that attaches similar topics to each other, that would be ideal.. thunderbird is already not a separate e-mail provider and platform for this, but a “central instance” that links many e-mails with each other, now I think this should be further developed, also for other “text flows” such as chats with ChatGPT or Gemini, as well as text flows from forums, from messengers, from letters that may be scanned, from e-invoices by e-mail that go to the accounting department, from files that are sent through to the cloud, a control center for text content, I think that's the core of Thunderbird and this should unfold, this should be made visible, thought bigger and for people a multitool where they can also network their chatbots, where they are notified in real time by a message if a customer gets stuck on the homepage, so they call them or write directly through the text flow of the chatbot as a human, so it's about being a centralized one, for all text flows that are involved in people's lives, and these are phone calls, chats and so on, everything that communicates fluently with words between parties that use text channels, so large language models and their “pre-connected interface platforms” as well as chat bots, chats and mails and so on... i think that's it.... where also in real time everything arrives in the language, via AI translation, that the user speaks as the best language, and as output, via for example deepl ai api or other AI api, the recipient of the text could receive the content from the user in the language they have specified as their native language, so language independent conversation has become the easiest and a universal human right, and that's what actually makes it effective.... Thank you, I could still give visual input for it, UI UX structure, further strategic docking to it, but unfortunately not the programming, I leave that to the developers 😉 Best regards S. W. Deutsche Version:  Stell dir vor, du öffnest dein Mailpostfach-Interface, wo sich alle deine Chats sammeln, die im E-Mail verkehr, die aus Telegram, die aus Whatsapp, die aus Instagram, alle APIs werden "per Login intern" andockbar gemacht, kostenfrei per Spendenbasis nutzbar, du kannst also im Thunderbird-Chatbrowser alle deine Gespräche verwalten, du kannst sie speichern, du kannst dir die Verläufe ansehen, es gibt Multichats in E-Mail-Form (die sowieso abstirbt mit der Zeit und zu Chat Verläufen wird), es gibt auch Gruppenchats aus verschiedenen Messengern, so hat man eine freie und zentrale Schnittstelle aller "Zwischenmasken" oder Inter-Faces zwischen Mensch und Team oder Mensch und Mensch, oder Mensch und AI und Mensch.. man hat also seine "Kanäle", die Empfangs- und Sendungs-Fülle an einen Ort bringen, an einen kostenlosen aber spendbaren Ort, Thunderbird, auch einem Ort, von dem aus Newsletter simpel verwaltet und versendet werden können per Mail-Verteiler und per Gruppenchats, so wird Konversation zu einem menschlichen Gut, einem, welches nichts mit Status im System zu tun hat, eines welches frei für jeden Menschen nutzbar und zugänglich ist, eines was der Menschheit dient, und nicht dem Bürokratismus und der Beschneidung der Freiheit.. kurz, ohne mich politisch einzumischen, es würde jedem Menschen dieser Welt ermöglichen, auf jedem seiner Geräte, alle Chats miteinander zu connecten - wozu? - um Kanalunabhängig seiner Lebensaufträge nachzugehen, seiner privaten Themen, seiner Geschäftsthemen, alles sicher und frei verwaltet im Thunderbird Dashboard, daher also überall dabei, synchronisiert, verschlüsselt und dezentralisiert. So könnte auch ein gemeinsames Adressbuch entstehen, welches bei Smartphonewechsel einfach wieder re-importiert wird, welches immer aktuell ist, und selbst wenn sich die Handynummer wechselt, wenn das Smartphone oder Handy oder Laptop verloren gehen, selbst wenn man ein Chatsystem wie Whatsapp verlieren sollte, weil Meta pleite geht, selbst dann, würde beispielsweise die Freiheit und das Eigentum am Chat erhalten bleiben, denn nicht der Kanal ist entscheidend, sondern der Inhalt der durch den Kanal geschickt wird, das was den Kanal füllt, und genau das sollte doch menschliches Gut sein, etwas, das geistiges Eigentum eines jeden Autors ist, das geteilt wird mit Empfängern, die teil daran haben dürfen, die andocken sollen, das ist doch der ganze Grund dafür.. ich denke also, es wäre Zeit, aus dem alten Denken über Post und Briefe und E-Mails oder E-Fax oder sonstige veraltete Medienzuschnitte auszusteigen, darüber hinwegzusehen und Thunderbird gleich auf ein neues Level zu bringen, auf das, wo Kanäle nur Schnittstellen sind, die an- und abdockbar gestaltet sind, wo allerdings der Inhalt dem User gehört und damit geht es nur um Thunderbird als eine Zentrale, wo dieser ganze Sturm vernetzt ist in einer sauberern Struktur und wo auch Newsletter-Mails mit Gruppenchats gemeinsam "rausgeschickt werden können" wo es blacklists gibt, whitelists, spamlists, wo eine AI intern dies alles ordentlich filtert, automatisch die abmeldung von mails übernimmt, die nicht gelesen werden innerhalb eines zeitraums, und diese archiviert, auch also chats und mails in korrelation bringt und daraus eine bedeutung ableitet, die wiederrum zu einem verlinkten oder verbundenen doppelchat führen, der ähnliche themen aneinanderheftet, so wäre das doch ideal.. thunderbird ist doch jetzt schon kein eigener E-Mail Provider und Plattform dafür, sondern eine "Zentrale Instanz" die viele E-Mails miteinander verknüpft, nun denke ich sollte dies weitergedacht werden, auch für andere "Textflüsse" wie eben Chats mit ChatGPT oder Gemini, sowie Textflüsse aus Foren, aus Messengern, aus Briefen, die evtl eingescannt werden, aus E-Rechnungen per Mail, die zur Buchhaltung gehen, aus Dateien die zur Cloud durchgeschickt werden, eine Schaltzentrale für Textinhalte denke ich, das ist der Kern den Thunderbird ausmacht und dieser sollte sich Entfalten, dieser sollte sichtbar gemacht werden, größer gedacht und für Menschen ein Multitool, wo sie auch ihre ChatBots vernetzen können, wo sie also in echtzeit benachrichtigt werden durch eine nachricht, wenn ein kunde auf der homepage nicht weiterkommt, diesen also anrufen oder direkt durch den textfluss des chatbots als mensch schreiben, es geht also darum, eine zentrale zu sein, für alle textflüsse, die im Leben der Menschen zu tun haben, und diese sind Telefonate, Chats und so weiter, alles was mit Worten fließend zwischen Parteien kommuniziert, die Textkanäle nutzen, also Large Language Modelle und deren "Vorverschalteten Interface Plattformen" sowie Chat Bots, Chats und Mails und so weiter.. ich denke das ist es.. wobei auch in Echtzeit alles in der Sprache ankommt, per AI Translation, die der User als beste Sprache spricht, und als output, per beispielsweise deepl ai api oder anderer AI api, könnte der Empfänger des Textes vom User den Inhalt in der Sprache empfangen, die er als Muttersprache angegeben hat, so ist sprachunabhängige Konversation das einfachste und ein allgemeines Menschenrecht geworden, und genau das ist es, was eigentlich Wirksamkeit ausmacht.. Danke, ich könnte noch visuellen Input dafür geben, UI UX Aufbau, weitere strategische Andockungen daran, die Programmierung allerdings leider nicht, diese überlasse ich den Entwicklern 😉 Mit besten Grüßen S.

I posted here firefox take a screenshot template? There a numerous reasons this needs to be done, not the least of which is the fact that is adds unnecessary character length.  I don't need to know it's a screen shot, the date, or the time, and particularly, when it's at the front of the title.  In the least, put all that stuff at the end.  If you think about it, I'm sure I don't have to remind about all the inconveniences this causes.  Example from my post page.  With that overextended ending, that title is 2-3 times longer than need be.
