I have recently migrated from BlueMail to Thunderbird for Android. Two usability features that were very helpful in BlueMail are currently missing in Thunderbird and would significantly improve productivity when working with multiple email accounts: 1. Unified inbox / combined view across accounts A single consolidated view showing all incoming mail from selected accounts (as if the messages were in one account). This is useful when the user actively works with several accounts during the day and needs a global “what is new” perspective without switching folders. 2. Fast account switching from the main screen In BlueMail, clicking on the account name opened a quick account list for immediate switching. In Thunderbird, the user must open the menu first and then select the account, which adds unnecessary steps and slows down navigation in multi-account workflows. Why this is useful reduces navigation friction for users with several accounts improves responsiveness in daily workflows behavior is consistent with other modern mobile email clients Environment Thunderbird for Android, version: … Number of accounts: … Protocol: IMAP / POP (mostly IMAP) Thank you for considering this enhancement. rokos966 ...

🔹 Description I would like to request a feature that allows Firefox users to display individual bookmarks as icons only (favicon without text), similar to the “Show icon only” option available in Microsoft Edge. This feature should work per bookmark, allowing users to manually enable or disable it one by one instead of applying it globally to the entire bookmarks toolbar. 🔹 Problem Statement Currently, Firefox always displays bookmark titles in the bookmarks toolbar. This causes several issues: Limited visible bookmarks due to horizontal space constraints A cluttered UI when many bookmarks are present No way to selectively minimize only frequently used bookmarks Some bookmarks (like GitHub, Gmail, YouTube, or Dev Tools) are easily recognizable by their icons alone, while others still benefit from having text labels. Firefox currently does not offer this flexibility. 🔹 Proposed Solution Add a context menu option for each bookmark, such as: “Show Icon Only” When enabled: The selected bookmark displays only its favicon (text label hidden) Other bookmarks remain unchanged The option can be toggled on or off per bookmark Optionally, this could also be supported in the Edit Bookmark dialog as a checkbox: ☑ Show icon only 🔹 Use Cases Developers who want quick access to tools using recognizable icons Users who want a clean, minimal bookmarks bar Power users who want fine-grained control instead of a global setting Laptop and small-screen users who need to maximize toolbar space 🔹 Expected Behavior User right-clicks a bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar Selects “Show Icon Only” That bookmark hides its label and displays only the favicon User can toggle the option again to restore the text label 🔹 Benefits Clean and modern UI More bookmarks visible at once Per-bookmark customization (not all-or-nothing) Feature parity with other browsers Improved productivity and personalization 🔹 Additional Notes This feature would align well with Firefox’s core philosophy of user control, customization, and accessibility, especially for power users and developers.   ...

When selecting text, a double-click selects a word, using punctuation (e.g. dots) as separators. As a result, double-clicking an IP address selects only part of it instead of the full address. would be nice if IP addresses were recognized as a single word and selected by a double-click. btw, chrome already does it 😉 ...

Currently, the only way to remove or edit a bookmark on Firefox Android is to manually browse through the bookmarks menu. This is a very tedious process, especially for users who have a lot of bookmarks and folders. I recommend adding the 3 dots menu next to each bookmark when searching for bookmarks so users can edit or remove the bookmarks they search for.   ... View more

Hey Firefox Team. I would love native Picture-in-Picture for Audio Elements. This allows for websites like Spotify with native pip for their audio. While this is supported by Chromium browsers, Firefox still does not have this feature. It would be excellent if you guys created this. Thanks! ... View more

I’m using Firefox’s native vertical tabs (no extensions). While the feature itself is very useful, the tabs visually blend together: there are no clear borders, separators. This makes navigation harder compared to horizontal tabs or vertical tab solutions in other browsers. It would be great to have built-in options such as: – separators or borders between vertical tabs – spacing or grouping controls This would significantly improve usability without requiring userChrome.css customization. Thank you for the great work on Firefox! ... View more

Firefox should be able to protect saved Credit Cards and Addresses with the Primary Password the same way as it does with saved Passwords. The fact that this is not even an option baffles me. ... View more

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. ...

Sometimes, when I try to log in to a website, the password suggestion doesn’t appear. When that happens, I have to open the password manager in a separate tab and manually copy and paste the login details. It would be much more convenient if I could simply left-click on a text field and get a pop-up option from the password manager to quickly fill in the credentials.  ... View more

Hello, Today I highlighted some text and clumsily selected a wrong item from the drop down menu, and was disgusted to see I had started some AI slop built into Firefox. I then spent some time trying to figure out how to disable all the AI features that had been added/integrated into Firefox and enabled without my knowledge. I don't care for AI. I don't want it running on my machine locally. I do not want my browser interacting with external AI without my knowledge. Period. I'm alarmed this crap was enabled without my knowledge or consent. And if you like using AI, power to you. Similar to a variety of personal choices, I am happy for those who partake. Just don't force it on me. Enabling these features by default and not notifying users adequately is just awful. To me it is clear these features are not wanted or useful because if they were, you would allow users to opt in rather than force this on all users. I'm sure there is a rea$on this stuff gets stealth enabled for all users. There should, at an absolute bare minimum, be a very clear setting that disables/removes ALL of the AI elements of Firefox. I should NOT have to consult a non-Mozilla guide to find all the dozen or so about:config entries to disable. Absolutely shameful behavior and disrespectful to users. I expect better from a company presenting a product as a more consumer friendly and privacy-focused alternative to Edge or Chrome. The differences get smaller every update. ... View more

Thunderbird right now / Missing Features I have added some calendars with "New subscription from link (read only)" to my Nextcloud. These external calendars are currently not synchronized when setting up the synchronization with Nextcloud Calendars. I only get the option to synchronize my own internal calendars. Right now, you need to retrieve the links of the calendars elsewhere, for example in the DavX5 and ICSX5 app on Android and then type the URL in Thunderbird, which is not very convenient. A possible solution / Functionality of the Android apps On Android, when synchronizing Nextcloud calendars, you use DavX5. There you get the option to sync external read-only calendars with ICSX5, which is very nice. Since Thunderbird can sync the links natively, it doesn't need an extra application. I would guess this makes the implementation of such a functionality easier than for the Android app developers. It would be very nice to have this option to also synchronize the external calendars directly. Conclusion: Please implement an easy option for subscribing to external / link / read-only calendars from Nextcloud directly in Thunderbird. Advanced: Another feature would be a subscribe menu for Nextcloud where you can choose the calendars (and maybe the address books) you want to synchronize similar to the menu for the e-mail folders to synchronize. Alternative: If I'm not wrong, the old TbSync addon had all these functionalities, which is sadly not supported any more. Maybe the developers find something useful it the code of TbSync. ...

Hi, In Thunderbird, when I double-click an email attachment, it opens with the default application I've set for that file type. However, I'm unable to add new file types to this list (please see image). For example, I frequently receive .R and .Rmd files from students. Being able to open these with Positron or RStudio via a single double-click would greatly simplify my quick reviews. In summary, I'd like to enable users to expand this list themselves.    ...

Hello Firefox team, I wanted to make a suggestion regarding the current Password Management and a security flaw it has. As you know, the Master password, if enabled, is asked is two situations : when we start Firefox and when we want to see through the password management. The issue is that once we write the password, we basically can get any password without needing to enter the Master Password again. For example, if I connect to any website for which I saved a password, I just have to select the password Firefox suggests me, and click on the "reveal" button to see which password it is. It's a major security problem because nothing is really protecting anyone to see what the password is. My suggestion is the following : I think it would be more secure to enable the fingerprint/FaceID unlocking everytime we select a password suggested by firefox (like on Chrome), or if implementing the fingerprint/FaceID unlocking is not possible, adding a parameter to ask the user if they want to be entering their password everytime a password is selected.  Best regards, ...

We would like to secure Firefox's Password Manager in our company. It's possible to force a Primary Password via Mozilla config file or policies.json. However a user can set a very simple Password, e. g. a single number. Unfortunately it is not possible to force a complex Primary Password for Firefox's Password Manager. Please provide such an option in about:config or policies.json a future release of Firefox (minimum digits, letters, numbers, special characters). Thank you in advance. ... View more

To treat specific hostnames as secure contexts even if the protocol is http Firefox has the dom.securecontext.allowlist about:config preference. It would be great if this setting would also let you narrow down the allowance to a specific port since the https upgrading can easily break other applications. Chromium already has this feature: in its chrome://flags "Insecure origins treated as secure" setting you can specify URLs with ports. Example use case: accessing a self-hosted web app via a Tailscale VPN when the app depends on a feature only available in secure contexts ... View more
