Noticed the "new" tab group functionality.  Now that I have way too many tabs open I need tab groups..adding a new tab to a tab group would be easier if i didn't have to expand the tab group first...can i just add the tab to the tab group (colored square) without expanding it? thanks. ...

I have a lot of bookmarks in Edge and Chrome, but I don't want to import them all at once. I set up folders in my bookmarks and organized my bookmarks into different folders according to their categories. The function I want is that when importing bookmarks, you can choose to import only bookmarks in a certain folder. When there are a lot of bookmarks, importing them all causes my bookmarks to be messed up ... View more

I'm a mac user, and I've used css to make my new tab page transparent like in Safari. The only way I could figure it out is: #tabbrowser-tabpanels { background: transparent !important; } But this makes the background transparent on websites that don't have a set background card/colour too. Is there a way I can isolate this to just the new tab page, or could this possibly be something we could change in about:config in future? I love the toolbar transparency. Thanks for what you do! ...

Many times I am working on audio and I don't want to be disturbed by the sound of incoming email sounds. I would advice to implement an easy way on the main Thunderbird window to cancel or activate notification sounds from Thunderbird. Please not in settings, but on the main window. I have Thunderbird always open, but sometimes I just want to cancel the sound for a while. ... View more

My idea is to adapt the design to the new iOS 26 interface and make a lot of transparent objects with cool animations. To please the audience that wants to use the previous design (i.e. the one that is now), make it possible to change designs in the "appearance" column. P.s. the new design is also nice, but I want to continue using only firefox, not safari. Your browser has a lot of nice things that make it easier to use, so I think you should promote yourself through design, because good design + privacy + user experience = the browser we all need ...

To have a setting in the Firefox browser on desktop and mobile to use Ollama and to choose the Ollama API URL and port number to connect to an Ollama server. Ollama is becoming the FOSS AI manager tool. There are several clients that have already integrated Ollama into their apps. By having Ollama integration, users can choose from hundreds of LLMs and have them running on their desktop or a self hosted server at home and keep the AI data private and offline. This will also keep the AI features in Firefox from being limited to a specific LLM. https://ollama.com/ ... View more

Component: Core :: Graphics: WebRender Users often run GPU-intensive applications such as video games, graphics software, streaming tools, or 3D rendering suites alongside their browser. Currently, if a Firefox tab uses GPU features—like video decoding or WebGL—it can interfere with or compete for limited GPU resources, leading to lag, instability, or outright crashes in those other workloads. A per-tab or per-site toggle to disable GPU acceleration would offer much-needed control in these scenarios. Description: Use Case: Suppose a user is gaming, rendering a video in DaVinci Resolve, running Blender, or livestreaming with OBS. These applications demand significant GPU bandwidth. Opening a Firefox tab that includes WebGL content, animated media, or auto-playing video can unexpectedly consume GPU resources, impacting performance across the board. While its possible to toggle Hardware Acceleration off completely in Firefox, this may cause unexpected rendering issues on websites, or degraded performance, until a full browser restart is initiated.  There’s currently no way to tell Firefox: "Don’t use the GPU for this tab." Or "This tab doesn’t need acceleration—just render it quietly in software." This results in unnecessary contention for GPU memory and cycles—especially for users on: Laptops with integrated graphics, Desktops with modest VRAM (<8GB), Workflows requiring tight GPU scheduling or real-time rendering. Proposed Feature: Introduce a per-tab or per-site toggle to disable GPU acceleration and fall back to software rendering. Implementation ideas: Right-click context menu on tabs: “Disable GPU acceleration for this tab” A toggle in about:performance or about:preferences A tab property viewable in Task Manager or devtools Possibly a site permission (like location or camera access) Expected Behavior: When enabled, the tab would: Use software compositing (Basic Layers instead of WebRender) Avoid invoking GPU-decoded video pipelines Disable WebGL/WebGPU contexts Render using CPU only, avoiding the GPU process entirely This allows users to prioritize GPU resources for their primary workload, while keeping the browser usable for reference material, chat, or other background activity. Why This Matters: Prevents browser tabs from disrupting GPU-heavy creative or professional work Gives power users precise control over system performance Enhances Firefox’s reputation for transparency and customization Provides a lightweight fallback rendering mode for lower-end or battery-constrained systems Related Context: Firefox already offers a global layers.acceleration.disabled setting, but lacks per-tab granularity. Chrome has command-line software-only rendering (--disable-gpu), but not per-tab controls either. This could offer a competitive edge over Chromium based browsers in the world of performance management. Firefox’s existing multi-process and GPU architecture provides a strong foundation for this control to be added.   ... View more

A recent Firefox Android update made it so that bookmarks and bookmark folders are now automatically sorted by date created (or used, perhaps?), most recent first. From what I can gather from this bugzilla report (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1928574), this was a deliberate design change. This change is extremely detrimental to the way I use bookmarks. I have hundreds of them, all neatly organized into folders and subfolders and ordered precisely how I want them. I absolutely do not want Firefox to arbitrarily override this ordering. Previously, when syncing bookmarks from the Desktop browser, Firefox Android preserved the ordering of bookmarks. It was possible to sort bookmarks as you liked in the Desktop browser, and this would carry over to mobile. The only way to restore this behavior at the moment is to access the Secret Settings menu and toggle off the Enable Compose Bookmarks flag. Please add an easily accessible (not buried in developer settings) option to disable this automatic sorting and restore the previous behavior.   Instructions for disabling automatic sorting currently: Open settings. Tap on About Firefox Tap on the Firefox logo 5 times to enable developer settings. Back out to the main settings menu, scroll down to Secret Settings, and tap on that. Find the 'Enable Compose Bookmarks' toggle and turn it off. ... View more

  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

Hi, In the same way as bookmarking a web page, it would be useful (for me at least) to save (and load) complete sessions with a titled name for each. aka: "favorites sessions" folder in the history menu, for example When you study on several (many) pages of one topic and have to switch to another completely different topic with many web pages again, and, again, two days later, put back the pages you studied before in the state they were in without searching through favorites, subpages, etc. just a suggestion Best, Rudy     ...

Often times, I find that I am manually putting quotes around select words or phrases in the/search address bar so that the search engine will produce more relevant results with the quoted words. It would be nice to, say, highlight a word or phrase and then have a button or right-click and select "Apply quotes" feature easing the tedium of moving the text input cursor manually to the beginning and end of the selected word/phrase and then typing the quote marks. ...

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. ... View more

As the title suggests, a super easy thing to add as all desktop versions already have it: - Bookmarks Toolbar on Android (iPadOS also?) Tablets. I use a Android Tablet as my main PC (many Android tablets these days are as powerful or more than many PCs out there) and with the huge screen real-estate, I don't understand why we have to stick with the pure smartphone version. I also have a big android phone and I wouldn't mind to have the bookmarks toolbar (horizontal displacement with the finger) as an option. If people can turn this feature on or off, all will be happy. ... View more

Along with a keyboard shortcut to jump to the Search Tabs box, as suggested by others already, it would be great if tabs could also be closed directly from the tab search results. So on the right side of each line of the tab search results, there should be an 'x' which can be clicked to close that tab without having to switch to it first. This would be a godsend for those of us who end up with gazzilions of tabs. ... View more
