It would be great if there was a way to customize hotkeys. Here's how I see it:  * Have a about:hotkeys panel, with all actions listed, and already mapped shortcuts shown.  * Whether these should be modifiable or not is up to the dev community, ideally they'd be.  * When clicking on a hotkey field, ideally, there would be a capturing hotkey feature, or, before this, an AHK like syntax to define hotkeys (not as complex, something like: CTRL+H means this and MAJ+ALT+END means that...)  * a restore to default button.  * Done. It can't be done with an extension because some function can't be accessed by extensions (I'm actually looking for a way to send tab to other device while browsing with TST.). Anyway, I believe this should boost productivity in a number of ways. You guys are devs, you know keyboards are faster than mice. 😛   edit: Corrected the typos, it's been bugging me for months now😅 ... View more

When using Gmail accounts with Thunderbird (Mobile) the default Gmail folders come with a "[Gmail]/" prefix. This ruins the aesthetics. See screenshot. I am not sure how Thunderbird manages syncing internally, but that would mean that the folder Name in the system stays the same and a display name attribute is added. ... View more

Both Firefox and Firefox for Android have a feature called Shortcuts for their home page. Shortcuts is essentially a list of recently browsed webpages, with the ability to pin a webpage, so that it doesn't disappear if you don't open it for a longer time. I want this list be entirely controlled by the user. Firefox should not add items to it from the browsing history. UPDATE: This idea was already suggested 2.5 years ago. It has 100+ upvotes as of today. ... View more

Hi, In the side menu when you click on "Show accounts" you see circles on the left with the two-letter abbreviation of the domain for the accounts. I think, using the first two letters of the domain can cause a lot of confusion for some users if the user has more than one email account for that domain even if their background color is different. For example, I'm seeing OU(Outlook) for 5 different accounts or GM(Gmail) for 3 different accounts. I think either allowing the user to customize these two letters or adding a toggle button to use the first two letters of the account name* instead of the domain can also solve the problem. This way, the user can use a color for the domain and use the letters to differentiate which email account is in that domain. For example, the user can use blue color for Outlook, and red color for Gmail and use two letters to differentiate which account it is in that domain. [*] the account name refers to the setting in Settings > Accounts > {your.email@example.com} > General Settings > Account Name. Since it is exactly the same as the user's email address by default anyone who wants to use the first two letters of the first half of the email address can use it by enabling the option I mentioned above, If anyone wants to use a custom two letter can do this by changing the account name. ...

Firefox supports WebAuthn, but as far as I could tell only with hardware tokens. I could not find a word about Firefoxs support of Passkeys (like Apple announced recently) anywhere Personally I don't know why passkeys werent adopted much sooner, it seems such a long hanging fruit to just store the key in the FF password manager. I use FF to support a web where there is not only one option, like Chrome, but FF keeps falling behind and behind instead of being at the forefront. This should be a top priority. ... View more

I would like to suggest an improvement for Firefox regarding file handling. Currently, when users choose to open a file instead of downloading it, the browser saves the file in the Downloads folder. This can lead to unnecessary storage usage and requires manual cleanup. I propose that Firefox bring back the option to store these opened files in a temporary folder instead of the Downloads folder. This approach would: Prevent clutter in the Downloads folder. Save storage space by automatically removing temporary files. Improve user experience by reducing the need for manual file management. This feature was available in previous versions of Firefox and would be highly beneficial if reinstated. I believe it would enhance efficiency and align with user expectations for better file handling. Thank you for considering this suggestion! ... View more

Firefox is working on tab groups. However I suggest Firefox implement a slightly better version where the browser suggests to the user to automatically group their tabs when they reach a certain number of opened tabs, say 25. Edge currently has a feature called organize tabs that does something similar, but it's a button, and the action has to be triggered manually. I believe a better implementation would be to have the browser suggest to the user, to automatically organize and group their tabs when they reach a certain number of opened tabs. The user should be able to toggle the feature on and off. I believe edge uses AI for their implementation of organize tabs. ... View more

There are many Email Service Providers (hosted service) are looking for multi-factor or password less authentication using Oauth2.  However Thunderbird OAuth2 is limited to few known OAuth2 providers like Gmail or Outlook. There is lot of demand for security feature (MFA) due to increasing fishing attack and loosing customers to bigs sharks like Gmail and Outlook. As I understand TB is promoting K9-Thunferbird for Android and iOS will be there soon. If you like end users to adopt open source clients I feel OAuth2 support must without which there is no competition with Gmail or Outlook. ... View more

How It Works Local Context Building: The browser collects search data, browsing behavior, and user preferences locally (not sent to Mozilla or any third party). Alternatively, users can manually input their preferences through a setup wizard. User-Controlled Context Sharing: Websites can request access to personalization data. The browser notifies users, who can choose what data to share (e.g., topics of interest, preferred UI themes, language). Enhanced Ad and Content Personalization (Without Third-Party Tracking): Instead of relying on Google or Facebook tracking, ads & recommendations can use local preferences stored in the browser. User controls what ads they want to see (e.g., interested in gaming gear but not luxury watches). Privacy & Transparency: All data is stored locally, and no third-party tracking cookies are needed. Users can reset, edit, or delete their profile anytime. Benefits ✅Personalized Experience Without Tracking – Websites adapt to users' needs even on first visits. ✅User-Owned Data – Unlike Google’s FLoC, no centralized profiling happens. ✅Better Ad Targeting (Without Intrusiveness) – Users choose what ads they see instead of random tracking-based ads. ✅Improves Accessibility – Websites can auto-adjust themes, font sizes, and layouts based on user needs. ...

A less complex product will have less bugs. The core of Firefox should only be the needed functionality to browse the web. Additions that are built in like Pocket add additional code. I my idea is that Firefox should split Pocket out from the Firefox executable and have it as an pre-installed extension which can be disabled by users or even removed if they do not want to have have it in their installation.   ...

A recent change to Firefox on Android means that I can no longer open pdf files in an external app directly from Firefox. When I click on a link to a pdf file it first displays in Firefox, then gives me a link to download the file. Before, opening the downloaded file would take me to the default pdf viewer on my phone, now it just opens up in a new tab in Firefox. Users should have the choice of what app to view files in. ...

I've been using Nine email on Android devices for a few years now but would like to move to Thunderbird as this is also my Windows PC email client. The presentation of emails in the Inbox in Nine is 'cleaner' in my opinion, with the sender on the first line, the subject on the second line, and then subsequent line(s) containing the email contents. I'm not so keen on the Thunderbird approach of attaching the email contents to the subject and simply separating them with a hyphen as I find it harder to read. I've attached examples from Nine and Thunderbird to show what I mean - Nine is at the top and Tunderbird underneath. It would be great (for me anyway) if there was an option/setting to have the subject and contents presented on separate lines as Nine does. Thanks. ... 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

Description: Currently, Firefox’s Developer Tools allow the positioning of panels in a limited number of locations. I would like to request an enhancement to the Developer Tools UI that allows users to freely dock or undock panels to any edge of the browser window (bottom, left, or right). Feature Request: Ability to dock the console to the bottom of the screen. Ability to dock additional panels (like Network, Inspector, etc.) to the left or right side of the window. Customizable layout options so users can adjust the positioning of each panel for an optimal debugging workspace. Use Case: As a developer, I often find that the default positioning of the developer tools doesn’t suit my workflow. Having the ability to place the Console at the bottom, and other tools on the sides, would allow me to minimize the clutter in the main browser window and optimize my screen space. For example: The console could be on the bottom for easy access while inspecting elements on the page. Other tabs (like Inspector or Network) could be placed on the left or right, depending on my screen real estate, to prevent overlap and better organize the information I’m working with. This customization would make debugging smoother and allow developers to tailor the layout to their needs, particularly when managing complex or multi-panel workflows. Benefit: This feature would improve the user experience by providing flexibility in how developers organize their workspace, leading to better efficiency and a cleaner, less cluttered interface while debugging. ...

Starting release of Firefox 127.0 the “browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled” preference stopped working (I believe it was removed in the commit here: https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/rMOZILLACENTRAL8adde2b08299cbe12d25785fcb0efdabb0057766) and now Firefox private and normal windows have their separate icon in the Windows taskbar. Could you restore that functionality? If not by bringing back the “browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled” preference on the about:config page, then e.g. add a new setting on the Firefox settings page that does the same thing. ...
