It would be great if there was a better UI when dragging a tab across the screen and/or into it's own window. The current animation is clunky and hard to follow. It's much easier to drag and drop a tab into another window or into its own tab on Chromium-based browsers. ... View more

I've been playing around with Firefox Color recently, and I created a theme which I'd like to use for Firefox on both my laptop and desktop computer. I know that it is possible to share/export custom Firefox Color themes, but I'd really love it if it was possible to sync themes across my devices, particularly my own custom themes in the Saved Themes section on Firefox Color. ...

Create a super-private browsing mode in which: - Ctrl+Shift+T doesn't open the last tab, nor does it appear in the history menu - The session is not associated in any way to other private browsing windows that may be open at the same time (e.g., you login in connect.mozilla.org in one private window, but you will still be logged out in the super-private one) - You can set a password for your session and it locks automatically after X minutes of inactivity - You can't allow sites to have permissions like cookies, geolocation, notifications or autoplay - Extensions have zero access unless you explicitly enable them each time - Downloads don't even get listed in the download pane - Firefox doesn't ask if you want to save passwords - When closing the window, you can choose to keep/delete the downloaded files and created bookmarks from this session ...

I would find very helpfull one solution (I believe this should be quite simple?). In Account settings/Identity/ there in an option to select: 1. Signature text OR 2. Instead of that attach signature from file (text, HTML or picture): I would like to use BOTH at the same time. For example:  1. Signature text (Best regards, name, title, e-mail, phone nummber...) 2. AND  attach signature from file (logo, QR kode... or when is holiday season Christmas card...) Can this options be available at the same time? ... View more

Hello Firefox Team, For years, I have wished Firefox would allow users to explicitly choose which genres or categories appear in their recommended stories. That option has never existed, but under the previous layout the feed still felt reasonably balanced. Even without direct controls, the mix of topics did not feel dominated by any single category. With the current layout, that balance seems to be gone. Sports content is now far more prominent and much more “in your face.” Between dedicated sections for the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, soccer, a general Sports section, and sports stories also appearing in “Popular Today,” it often feels like close to half of the entire feed is sports-related, with the other half covering everything else. That is a dramatic shift in emphasis compared to how the feed used to feel. Since the new layout became available, I have consistently (ie, everyday) used the thumbs-down and dismiss options on sports articles and sections (to the point that I clear entire sections of the available articles). After several months of doing this, I have seen no visible reduction in volume, frequency, or placement of sports content. The experience has remained essentially unchanged. This makes it difficult to believe that these controls meaningfully influence the recommendations. At this point, there are really only two ways this can be addressed in a way that feels respectful of user preferences: Either: Firefox provides direct category-level controls, allowing users to explicitly enable or disable topics such as sports, technology, politics, culture, or science. Or: Firefox significantly reduces the overall volume and prominence of sports-related content so that it does not dominate the feed. Right now, the feed feels less like a personalized recommendation system and more like a heavily sports-centered content channel with some other topics mixed in. That is a major change from how Firefox’s New Tab experience used to feel. If personalization controls are presented to users, they should lead to visible and reliable changes in what is shown. Otherwise, they create the impression of choice without delivering actual control. ... View more

Instead of forcing AI stuff down your users throats, just put it into an add-on that users can install on the browser if they want it. If it's as great as you seem to believe, then what's the problem with making it opt-in by default instead of having to opt-out? ... View more

On small vertical screens (so not speaking on tablets), homescreen items would be easier to reach if they were anchored to the bottom of the screen rather than the top. Most notably, the site shortcuts and the private browsing toggle. The private browsing toggle button should be moved to the left of the address bar, where the home button normally is. That's a really convenient double-tap to start a private session and makes it so there's always a button there, improving visual consistency. The homepage widgets should probably just have their order reversed, with shortcuts on the bottom. This makes it easier to access your shortcuts, and you'd scroll up instead of down to reach the out-of-view content. ... View more

When I search history, it shows the pages in random order. There is no way to tell which page was the last one I visited. This is especially annoying with forum and story sites where you want to track the last last page of a discussion or chapter of a story you read. ... View more

First, thank you for all you do. I've been using Mozilla products for over 20 years and they have been great overall. Here is an issue I have noticed, I have a lot of old emails. The problem is that I don't access them very often but they make my Thunderbird profile quite large. I would like to be able to move those emails out of my profile but have the ability in TB to access them occasionally on demand from inside TB. I do not want to have to open a completely different profile. I'm probably not expressing this well. Here is an example. In my TB profile in Local Folders there is an Archives folder. In Archives I have subfolders by year, 2010, 2011, 2012 and so on. I do not need those old emails stored in my active TB profile. I may not access them even once a year, but I would like to keep them. I would like to be able to move them to a NAS connected by SMB via mapped drive or preferably UNC, but have some sort of link to them from within my active TB profile. Maybe "Archives-Stored" or "Archives-Deep"? When I click on that new Archives-Stored or Deep only then would it connect to the NAS (or other stored location, an extra HDD in system for storage 😧 or E:) and display those emails. This could be restated as "outside of current profile archive storage with access from current profile". Some might lable this as Deep Archives, or Cold Storage. I can't imagine that I am the only Thunderbird user who stores old email and thus has a large profile. Ultimately, reducing profile size might make the TB interface faster? if profile size decreased would it not help the overall experience? I know it would be nice to have a smaller profile for nightly backups. My idea is similar to "Archive to a different disk" https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/archive-to-different-disc/idi-p/16280 I hope you might consider implementing this idea in some form. Thank you again. #Thunderbird ... View more

Add an option to the tab context menu that lets users copy the direct URL of the tab without switching to it. This would make it faster and more convenient to share or save links from background tabs, especially when multiple tabs are open, by avoiding the extra step of activating the tab just to access its address bar.     ...

Firefox users often switch back and forth between multiple tabs. When many tabs are open—especially several from the same website—it can be difficult to visually identify which tab was used most recently. Currently, Firefox only distinguishes the active tab from inactive tabs, providing no indication of recent tab usage. Proposed Feature Add optional gradient-based highlighting to represent tab recency: The active tab uses the most prominent highlight One or two previously active tabs display intermediate colors in a gradient Older inactive tabs keep the default appearance The gradient reflects recency of use, not tab order. Benefits Faster visual recognition of recently used tabs Reduced cognitive load during frequent tab switching Improved navigation efficiency without adding new UI elements Configuration & Accessibility Enable/disable Number of recently highlighted tabs Theme-aware and high-contrast compatible colors Must respect accessibility guidelines, including color-blind-friendly palettes Motivation Firefox emphasizes user choice, accessibility, and productivity. Subtle visual feedback for recent tab usage aligns with these principles while preserving a clean and customizable interface. ... View more

The auto-hiding header in full screen is a fantastic feature which I absolutely adore, but it's such a convincing replica of the window frame UI that I expect it to behave the same when I double-click on a blank space in the tab bar, and keep finding myself surprised until I realize that I'm actually in full screen mode and not maximized. I would like to propose that double-clicking empty space on the top bar in full screen mode perform the same function as pressing the restore button (green button on MacOS) does, for more consistent ergonomics. ...

NVIDIA Video Super Resolution (VSR) is a great feature that enhances the quality of streamed videos through AI-based upscaling. However, its current integration in Firefox presents significant usability limitations. At the moment, enabling or disabling VSR requires changing hidden preferences in about:config and restarting the browser. This makes the feature cumbersome to control and effectively unusable in many real-world scenarios. VSR often activates automatically even when it is not desired, leading to: unnecessary GPU usage, with multiple videos getting upscaled even at the same time, which can deprive the GPU of resources that could be used elsewhere; increased power consumption (especially on laptops); higher system temperatures and fan noise; In Chromium-based browsers, this issue is mitigated by a convenient in-video toggle, similar to the Picture-in-Picture button, which allows users to enable or disable VSR instantly on a per-video basis. I propose adding a visible, user-accessible toggle directly on video players in Firefox, allowing users to enable or disable VSR in real time, without having to go through the tedious process of changing flags in about:config and, most of all, avoiding browser restarts. This would also help with thermals and energy consumption, of course. At the moment, I feel like NVIDIA VSR is genuinely practical feature that is hindered by a hidden, all-or-nothing setting. ...

I'm starting a new thread because the other ideas don't seem to be the same as mine. I love Opera's tab grouping feature: when I click on a link in a tab, a group of tabs is automatically created. This allows me to keep all my work well organised and divided up. ... View more

In Opera, if two tabs with the same URL are opened, they are marked with a blue line when you hover your mouse over one of the two tabs. This is very useful because it allows you to identify whether you have opened two tabs that are actually the same. ... View more

When I use the AI chatbot keyboard shortcut, it opens the selected chatbot in the sidebar, which is way faster than switching tabs for quick tasks like paraphrasing and summarizing. The main issue is that it doesn’t autofocus the input box, so I still have to click into the text field before I can type or paste. That breaks the keyboard-only flow. I’d love a small update where pressing the shortcut (for example Cmd+X) not only opens the sidebar chatbot (Gemini or ChatGPT), but also places the cursor directly in the input field so I can start typing right away. This small quality-of-life change would make the feature much more usable for people like me who rely heavily on keyboard shortcuts. I also really like that it’s AI-agnostic and lets me use my own subscription. Thank you, Firefox team!  ... View more

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
