Okay, you are in 'normal' Firefox. In normal Firefox, you have a link/URL you want to open in Private Browsing. I want to have the possibility to 'set' that link or URL to open in Private Browsing. Yes, I know you can click that 'every time,' but I want to set it permanently. So every time I'm in normal Firefox and click on that link/URL, it should automatically open in Private browsing. I think it's best to create a setting for this under "Edit Bookmark."
So, in Edit Bookmark i want to set 'this' URL to open in Private Browsing (from normal FF directly to PB)

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.

Hey people, I'm currently writing an Angular application that uses the (pointerrawupdate) html attribute. I don't have any issue using this in Chrome, but on Firefox it just doesn't work (doesn't do anything). I'm using this so it would work just as well on a desktop version and a touch screen. I haven't had any issue with other attributes so far, but I can imagine it's not the only one. It would be nice to add support for it. Thanks!

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.

I'd really like the idea to forget multiple sites. At the moment you can just forget one at a time, it's usable but slower than forgeting multiple at once.

It would be great to be able to close vertical tabs when the side bar is collapsed. Currently, the only way to do that is to right click the tab icon and click close. If there could be an X on the tab after hovering for a moment to close the tab, that would be great!

It would be great if we had the option to sort Bookmarks, either alphabetically or custom. I'm used to having my bookmarks sorted alphabetically automatically, and unfortunately at the moment, after migrating over to Firefox, bookmarks move after you've interacted with them. It's frustrating.

One of the most frustrating changes with the Firefox browser lately has been with the silent failures to render webpages once a restart to Firefox is pending. This can happen at the most inconvenient times and can lead to confusion and frustrating causing unnecessary manual troubleshooting and placing blame on things that are not the root cause. Rather than sitting silent and allowing the user to go into rage troubleshooting it would be ideal just to come out with it and say what is needed to be said using a banner to announce a restart of the browser is required.

Suggest that each user's browser create a file (for example, "Firefox Error.Log" ). And, then let user have option to automatically send this file to Mozilla Firefox website, for analysis and possibly fix errors.

Just as we all have been very useful for the function of editing the PDF files in Mozilla Firefox, it would be very useful to be able to have the ability to edit images. This can be useful when for example, when downloading an image and wanting to highlight an element of this, we can add lines, geometric shapes such as circles, squares, etc. (which can be chosen the thickness of these lines); We can select a part of the image both rectangular and circulate to be able to copy or delete it. Add texts to which they can freely choose typography, size or color. To be able to change aspects of the image, such as being able to rotate or cut it. Something similar to the PDF editor that we already have in Firefox or the options we have in Macos Preview but available in the browser, where we usually usually do a wide variety of tasks and take into account the following example: We have the image open, and on the other hand, in the sidebar a search. That image has fields where we must fill with words (such as some exercise of some school subject, for example). Then the part of filling these fields becomes a much simpler and more efficient task, since there would be no need to open an external image editor, but that that function was held in the browser. (Some of these functions could also be added to the section of the browser's captures, to have these functions of being able to make brands and edit text at the time of capturing a section of a web page). #images #png #jpg #jpeg #edit As an example of the aforementioned above, I attach an image in which the browser PDF editor toolbar is seen both.

Vertical tabs/the sidebar would benefit from an 'auto-hide' or 'expand on mouseover' feature. Similar to how it behaves in Edge, I would like to be able to expand the sidebar for vertical tabs on mouseover when I want to review my open tabs. This would allow users to avoid manually toggling the expanded view and will improve the experience when tab groups are introduced.

As a user of an open-source email client receiving marketing emails, I want to be able to identify messages with expiration dates, especially those that have already expired, in order to effectively declutter my inbox and actively contribute to reducing the ecological impact associated with storing these expired messages. Problem and Context The “Email Expiration Date” project aims to reduce the environmental impact of commercial emails by facilitating the deletion of outdated messages. Currently, email clients lack integrated tools to effectively manage the deletion of emails sent by advertisers who have set an expiration date. Implementing this feature in email clients would provide users with effective cleanup tools based on email expiration dates. For more information about the project and the proposed standard, please refer to: “Email Expiration Date” project site: https://www.zerocarbon.email/ Internet standard draft published at the IETF: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mailmaint-expires/ User Benefits Integrating this feature would allow users to more easily clean up their inboxes by automatically deleting expired messages they are unlikely to read. With just one or two clicks, they could remove hundreds of unnecessary messages, improving email management efficiency and contributing to the reduction of the carbon footprint associated with email storage (see Ressources section). Implementation Proposal We are considering several options for implementing this feature: Search Option: Add a search option to find all expired messages in an email inbox. Users can then simply delete the messages if they wish. Virtual Folder/Tab: Create a virtual folder (or tab) listing all expired emails, offering the user the option to delete them with a single click. Expired Message Alert: Display an alert whenever more than xx expired messages are present in the email inbox, offering the user the option to delete them with a single click. Automatic Deletion: Allow the email client to automatically delete expired emails from a given sender from a displayed email. In this case, it is essential to obtain the user’s explicit consent so that no emails are deleted without their authorization. Preference Center : Show the complete list of bulk email senders to the user. In this list, they can enable or disable automatic email deletion according to their preferences (and unsubscribe via List-Unsubscribe). What we propose not to do: Individual expiration notifications: It is not recommended to create individual alert messages for each expired message. In addition to generating too many alerts, some spammers (and marketers) could take advantage of this to generate notifications using expiration dates. Options and Settings To ensure this feature is flexible and respectful of user preferences, the following options should be available: The ability to prevent the email client from deleting emails from certain senders via a list of senders not to be deleted. An option to add a sender to this list from the email reading screen. The ability to disable cleanup tools based on expiration dates, although the feature should ideally be enabled by default for any new installation of the email client or after the update adding this feature. Challenges and Considerations It is crucial that this feature be discussed within the community to anticipate and address potential challenges. For example, measures must be taken to prevent the malicious use of expiration dates, such as dates set before the email is sent or just a few hours after sending. The user must always remain in control of deleting emails in their inbox. Priority Given the climate emergency and the importance of reducing the environmental impact of technology, we request that this feature be considered a high priority. Every technology must adapt to minimize its environmental impact. Usage and Adoption Currently, only a small number of mass emails have an expiration date. According to a study by Orange in France, as of May 2024, about 5% of emails have an expiration date (source: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jonathanloriaux_orange-email-expiration-date-activity-7211730790152306689-AscM). This is mainly due to the difficulty of enforcing an evolution of an internet standard. Although mass senders are very interested in deploying expiration dates in their emails, few sending platforms allow the addition of SMTP “Expires:” headers, and no major Mailbox Provider has implemented the technology. Therefore, it is essential that the entire ecosystem (mass senders, mass email sending solutions, and email clients) advances to make this project a reality. Wireframes These wireframes are examples of what the functionality could look like in existing email clients. We will progressively add more examples. Search Field Virtual Folder/Tab Additional Comments Expiration dates in emails are mainly intended for mass emails. At this stage, it does not seem relevant to allow an email client user to set an expiration date for emails they send. Ressources The IETF Standard Draft : https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mailmaint-expires/ List of companies (Brands, ESPs, MBPs) supporting the project : https://www.zerocarbon.email/ Study on the carbon footprint of obsolete emails: https://splio.tech/carbon-footprint-of-decaying-emails-26b253aad4a7 List of email service providers implementations : https://www.zerocarbon.email/documentation/list-esps/

This is just a small proposal for this very good calendar!
My first proposal starts from my difficulty to locate "today" visually in the week or month view. I have to click the "today" button, if I don't want first to remember the day to find it, because there is no difference between the visualization of a selected day and today. I didn't find adds on for fixing this. To be able to customize today's colors and style would be useful for a good overview of the week or month .
Other days. In an older version it was possible to customize clearly also all the weekends. Is it possible now?Furthermore, everyone has some special days, special parts of (some) days, etc. that it would be good to remember visually without the need to add special appointments/events that would interfere visually with the other events. It would be useful to have the capability to customize the highlighting of each day / part of the day for example through a background color.

E-ink screens like displaying high-contrast, static content. Most of them is monochrome. Basic e-ink mode is a cheap feature with: animations disabled smooth scrolling disabled high contrast skin (theme) - preferably black-and-white I suppose it can he achieved by tuning already existing configuration options and merely requires exposing a friendly switch in settings. Maybe even an extension would suffice. A full-fledged e-ink mode also adds: overriding the content CSS to improve webpage contrast page up / page down buttons (or clickable areas) on mobile To be honest, there are no mainstream browsers optimised for e-ink (as of 2025), while the market is growing (ebooks, phones, desktop displays).

I am happily using passkeys via a fido2 stick with fingerprint sensor since quite some time now for sites where it is supported and the number is growing. I am truly convinced that this is the technology that will finally free us from passwords once and for all! But I also know the normal user, for whom buying an additional device for logging in is far too much friction to ever use it. My (technologically savvy) girlfriend looks at me logging in with my fido2 stick and want to do the same without having to get such a key. She already has her phone that can act as a passkey authenticator! On Chrome(ium) using a phone as the passkey works like a charm (for the interested: yes, also on Linux. I am using Linux most of the time). I and may other people would love to be able to use our phones for passkey authentication also with firefox!
It would be awesome!
Is it possible to donate directly bound to adding a feature like this?
Best,
Joe

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.

Firefox for Android should include an option to set a custom homepage, just like Firefox for PC. Many other browsers already offer this feature on both PC and mobile, so it would be great to add it to Firefox's mobile version as well.

I am thankful for the (somewhat) recent implementation of the sidebar and vertical tabs in Firefox, particularly the ability to have the sidebar completely hidden for minimal disturbance. I have found three states of the sidebar: ¹ Expanded (with tab title text), ² Minimized (only tab favicons), ³ Hidden (no sidebar visible). Currently the [Hide/Show sidebar] button as well as the shortcut [Ctrl+Shift+Z] can only toggle between ¹ Expanded and either ² Minimized or ³ Hidden. To change between ² Minimized and ³ Hidden, the user must go through the 'customize sidebar' settings pane and toggle the 'Hide tabs and sidebar' checkbox. I propose that it can be a preferable feature if the [Hide/Show sidebar] button and the shortcut can be configured such that the user can cycle between all three states instead of two of the three.
