I would like Thunderbird to warn if any attachments are open in a new message before sending an e-mail.  This would avoid accidentally sending opened attachments that were modified, but not saved.   When I send an e-mail with attachments at work, I often make corrections or changes to an attached document or spreadsheet before sending the e-mail.  However I regularly get caught out when I finish off the e-mail and click send, only to realise an attachment I made changes to is still open.  When I try to close it, I get the dreaded "Save changes before closing?", indicating I sent the e-mail with the unmodified attachment, which means I have to send a follow-up e-mail with the revised attachment. ...

With the recent push in promoting the Mozilla Firefox VPN I thought I would give it a try. The first issue I had was that I could not find any mention of it in the menu. I had to search the settings page to find it and then turn it on. It said the next step was to click the button in the top right corner called "VPN" - but that button didn't exist. I restarted Firefox and looked in all of the menus and even the "about:config" page to check that "browser.ipProtection.enabled" was true - which it was. There is no help at all from the Mozilla site. I am in the UK so knew it was supported here. The Fix: It turns out I had to right click on the toolbar and choose "Customise toolbar" in order to drag the "VPN" button onto my toolbar so it would appear. Now it works great. Perhaps these instructions should be written somewhere as there is still no menu item for VPN or help on the settings page. Without that button added to the toolbar there appears to be no way to turn the VPN on or off. ... View more

Hello! I use Firefox View frequently (particularly the Open tabs panel) and find it useful. However, I think it could be better. In particular, I think that Firefox View could support /session management/. I use an extension called Tab Session Manager to save windows/tabs that I am not actively using, to get them out of memory / no longer taking up windows on my computer. It lets me save windows/tabs in named groups for different things: for example, a group can be like, Wikipedia articles I have open for researching something. I find this very handy, but the UX of being a separate extension means I do not use it as much as I would like. I would like to suggest that Firefox View adds a new "Saved sessions" tab, and supports saving tabs / windows to sessions, either from Firefox View itself, or both from Firefox View and the tabbar. I think this would be a useful feature to have integrated into the browser. ... View more

When filling out PDF forms in Firefox, pressing Ctrl+S saves the original PDF without the entered form data. However, when closing the PDF tab, Firefox asks whether I want to save the changes, and that version correctly includes the filled-in fields. This behavior is confusing because Ctrl+S is universally understood as "save the current document as it is now." Chrome and other PDF viewers save the current state of the form when using Ctrl+S, so Firefox's behavior is unexpected. Unfortunately, I trusted that Ctrl+S had saved my work. After saving, I rebooted my computer, and when I reopened the PDF, all my entered data was gone. I had to fill in the entire form again. I specifically chose Firefox because I value privacy, so I would expect common workflows such as saving a filled PDF to behave consistently and intuitively. It would be much less confusing if Ctrl+S saved the current state of the PDF, including all filled form fields, or at least displayed a warning that it does not. Kind regards from a first day firefox user. ... View more

Hi Firefox Team, I just wanted to say that the new football score widget is amazing. It’s a really convenient way to keep up with matches without having to open multiple websites or apps. I was wondering if there is any possibility of adding customization options in the future. For example, allowing users to choose: Specific teams they want to follow Favorite leagues (such as La Liga, Premier League, etc.) Multiple teams from different leagues As a FC Barcelona fan, I would love to have Barcelona and La Liga scores displayed by default. It would also be great to follow a team from La Liga and another from the Premier League at the same time, so the widget could keep me updated on both. I think a personalized “Favorite Teams & Leagues” section would make the feature even more useful and engaging for football fans around the world. Thanks for the great work on Firefox and for continuing to add thoughtful features like this! ... View more

Firefox View is very useful! I find myself on the "Open tabs" page quite often. However, Firefox View does not allow drag-and-dropping tabs between windows, which limits its usefulness. There is a right-click menu with a "Move tab" option, but the only options there are moving a tab to a new window or to the end of the current window -- no support for moving tabs anywhere within the current window, or for moving them to a new window. This "Move tab" menu is actually just the same as on the standard tab sidebar. So my request is more specifically: can you all add support for drag-and-dropping tabs in Firefox View? I would like the ability to drag-and-drop them within the current window, and drag-and-drop them to new windows. Thanks! ... View more

Heya! I think the new sports widget is fantastic! However I wish it had more customisability, with the option of following more sports like Rugby, Cricket, etc. Also, I think a way to implement custom schedules/games would go really far! Something along the lines of an API so we change scores, times and teams would work or something as simple as a way to import/read a calender to show times and upcoming games would also work quite nicely. Thank you! ♥ ... View more

When I right-click a tab group in the horizontal tabs bar or the vertical tabs sidebar, I get the "Manage tab group" context menu. I don't get that when I do the same in the "List all tabs" drop-down menu. What I see when I right-click a tab group in the tab list drop-down is a context menu with 3 choices: "Move Group to This Window", "Move Group to New Window", and "Delete Group". I was looking in particular to save and close the group when I realized I'm not getting the context menu I was expecting. I get how we ended up having both "List all tabs" and the vertical tabs sidebar, if it looks like the two features shadow each other somewhat if you have vertical tabs enabled. It would be nice though to align these tab groups access points, for consistency. ... View more

Thunderbird is one of the best email clients. It is ad-free and privacy-focused.  However, starting with version 153, there is a "Sign in to Thundermail" option in the menu. I use Thunderbird to handle all my email accounts, including the one provided by my institution. I do not use Thundermail. I wish there were a way to hide this. I understand Thunderbird needs some sources of income, and ads from Mozilla might be expected. However, as a promotion (an ad in some sense) by Thunderbird, it should be optional to dismiss or turn off.     ... View more

When what I type is an exact (or exact-prefix) match for a bookmark's title, that bookmark should be the top suggestion — above frecency-ranked history and search suggestions — so I can just press Enter. Example: I have a bookmark titled YT → https://www.youtube.com. Typing YT should make YouTube the #1 result and autofill it, every time, without me having to assign a separate keyword. Today: Bookmark autofill is frecency-ranked, so a low-frecency but exact-titled bookmark often loses the top slot to history or suggested sites. The bookmark-keyword feature solves this but requires per-bookmark manual setup, which most users never discover. Request: Treat an exact/prefix title match on a bookmark as a strong ranking signal that promotes it to the top heuristic result automatically — the same convenience keywords give, but without manual configuration. Optionally gate it behind a pref (e.g. browser.urlbar.suggest.bookmarkExactMatchFirst) for those who prefer current behavior. ... View more

Hi Mozilla, I think it would be a QOL improvement to keep the "reopen closed tab" option in the right click menu in the same place regardless of whether users right click on a tab or in the empty space beside tabs. Currently, this option is located at the very bottom of the right click menu when right clicking on any tab, and it's bottom of the second section effectively in the very center of the right click menu. ...

Currently, Firefox displays a media playback UI/overlay on Windows (such as in the taskbar/thumbnail preview), showing track info and playback controls. Disabling it also disables media control. Suggestion: Provide an option to completely hide/disable this media display interface, while retaining full functionality of hardware media keys (Play, Pause, Next, Previous track) on the keyboard. Why this is useful: Cleaner UI: Removes unnecessary visual clutter from the Windows taskbar and previews for users who prefer a minimalist setup. Seamless background control: Allows users to control audio playback in Firefox using standard hardware media keys without needing to switch to or open the browser window, and without interacting with an unwanted on-screen overlay. ...

Dear fellow newsletter readers, This one is about newsletters and the phenomena of repetitive article entries... Proposals for improvement: 1. Make it possible to trigger the run of a filter timed on weekdays and AM/PM - local time! Some sites like to send out newsletters so many times per week and day that it eventually becomes riddiculous and they do not allow the user to choose timing nor are they interested in feedback. 2. Analysis and synthesis of a newsletter folder. Basically the reader picks out all headlines with links from all the newsletters in a folder, the tool remove the duplicates, send them for AI-analysis to create a theme-list and then lists the themes along a timeline. You pick the interesting themes (checkbox) and open all the relevant articles, if you wish to at once or send the chosen themes to an AI for summarization. Eg, After analysis...say 50 different themes are listed along the timeline, "AI and Anthropic" is one of the them, you can now pick that theme and choose either to open all the relevant articles or send the relevant articles to analysis for summarization (AI tool of choice or preset). Threat: -Integrity, make certain folders "Newsletter-folders" - hence the tool would only work for these folders. -Flooding the AI machines with newsletters from stores/vendors (100 products)...maybe some warning beforehand. Thank you for you time! Happy Holidays! ... View more

On the New Tab page featuring Kit, it would be awesome to make his nose clickable! ​There’s a viral video where clicking on Kit’s nose plays a cute sound effect and animates his ears (boop!). Even though it was just motion design, users absolutely loved it. ​Please add a little clickable boop easter egg for Kit on the wallpaper! It will bring a smile to millions of users every day!  ...

Automatically show-expand/hide-collapse on mouseover for all drop-down menus, including vertical tabs. For example, vertical tabs, will only display the default icon, and when you hover over them, it expands and displays the text. The same goes for all other drop-down menus, such as the list of all tabs, the "show sidebar" button, and others. ... View more
