Most US Government organizations do not put the email address where Thunderbird expects, thus, I can not import a government certificate and encrypt email to the sender. The email address is actually kept in the Subject Alternative Name: email: field. for example: ``` X509v3 Extended Key Usage:     E-mail Protection, 1.3.6.1.4.1.311.10.3.12, 1.2.840.113583.1.1.5 X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:     email:some.one@someorg.gov X509v3 CRL Distribution Points:      Full Name: ``` A normal certificate from ssl.com or where ever you get your smime certs from, the email address is listed in the Subject and the SAN. The enhancement would allow a user to sign and encrypt emails to the 3 million US Government workforce. ... View more

Dear Mozilla Team, I write as a long-time Firefox user who deeply values the principles your browser embodies: privacy, user control, and trust. Firefox has long stood out as a refuge for users seeking an ethical, secure, and user-first alternative to mainstream browsers. That reputation is your greatest asset—but one area now risks diluting it: the current prominence of crypto-oriented features and integrations. While crypto has attracted certain enthusiasts, it remains largely untested, extremely volatile, and associated with significant security and ethical concerns. Many users—including those who prioritize privacy, transparency, and security—feel alienated or at risk, and it may inadvertently signal that Firefox is endorsing a domain widely regarded as unsafe or ethically questionable. I propose that Firefox implement an optional crypto-free mode—or a toggle to separate crypto-specific features from the core browsing experience. This would: Reinforce Firefox’s mission-driven ethos by ensuring users who prioritize security, privacy, and ethical computing feel fully supported. Provide a clear differentiator from competitors who increasingly bundle crypto into their default experiences. Strengthen brand trust and integrity at a time when market perception matters as much as functionality. Open the possibility of regaining incremental market share among enterprise, privacy-conscious, and security-minded users—segments that currently feel underserved. This initiative need not alienate existing crypto enthusiasts: the mode can be optional, clearly documented, and easy to switch. Doing so would position Firefox as proactive, principled, and uniquely attentive to user values—a rare alignment of mission and strategy.  I believe it would  (by a lot if done well with passion) enhance user trust, reinforce Mozilla’s reputation for integrity, and secure Firefox’s competitive position in the years ahead.  Firefox is eternally stuck where it is market share wise. This could perhaps easily be a way to obviously break out of that. Any clear upwards movement is self propelling in platform of Firefox's prestige & known substance (integrity plus). Sincerely,  John Penturn ... View more

I am surprised that this option doesn't already exist. Every time I log into my local library's website, Firefox asks if I want it to save my payment info. Problem is this isn't a payment card, it's just my numeric library card number. The only options are 'not now' and under a dropdown one can find a 'never remember cards' option. This is a little extreme - I don't want to never be asked about genuine credit cards again, but I am sick of being asked if I want to save my library card as a credit card. ... View more

  Aktuell werden alle Daten, die ein Add-on in storage.local speichert, beim Deinstallieren gelöscht. MDN Web Docs+1 Es gibt keinen API-Hook, mit dem ein Add-on dem Nutzer vor der Deinstallation seine Daten sichern könnte — kein „Export“-Event. WebExtensions haben keinen dedizierten Ordner mit exklusivem Lese-/Schreibzugriff, in dem persistente Dateien (z. B. Backups) abgelegt werden könnten. Das führt dazu, dass wichtige Nutzerdaten (z. B. Sitzungen, Einstellungen, Notizen) bei Deinstallation unwiederbringlich verloren gehen. Einige Debug-Einstellungen wie keepStorageOnUninstall existieren, sind aber nur für Entwickler in about:config nutzbar, nicht programmatisch für Add-ons. MDN Web Docs Daher könnte man eine API schaffen, die mindestens eines der Folgenden erlaubt: Einen Deinstallations-Callback, mit dem Add-ons Daten serialisieren und zum Speichern anbieten können, oder einen persistenten, Add-on-eigenen Ordner, in den Dateien abgespeichert werden dürfen, oder die Möglichkeit, dass der Nutzer beim Deinstallieren gefragt wird, ob er eine Datei-Sicherung vor dem Entfernen erstellen möchte. Currently, any data that an add-on stores in storage.local is deleted when uninstalled. MDN Web Docs+1 There is no API hook that an add-on could use to save the user's data before uninstalling — no "export" event. WebExtensions do not have a dedicated read/write exclusive folder where persistent files (e.g. backups) could be stored. This means that important user data (e.g. sessions, settings, notes) are irretrievably lost when uninstalled. Some debug settings like keepStorageOnUninstall exist, but are only usable for developers in about:config, not programmatically for add-ons. MDN Web Docs Therefore, one could create an API that allows at least one of the following: an uninstall callback that allows add-ons to serialize data and offer it for storage, or a persistent add-on-specific folder in which files can be saved, or the possibility of asking the user when uninstalling whether they want to create a file backup before removal.   ...

Hello, I have a suggestion: I created a couple of tab groups in Firefox so I can access them more easily whenever I want to work on something specific. However, to open them I have to go into my history and look for the last time I opened each group. (I’m not sure if there’s another way to keep them handy.) It would be very useful if I could place the tab groups in the bookmarks toolbar so I could open them with a single click. (Chrome already works this way and it’s really convenient for me.) Thank you very much and kind regards, ... View more

When I had to reimage from Win10 to Win11, I used the Firefox Sync feature to ensure that the machine name I was going to reimage had the 'Tabs from other devices' in the sidebar of my other devices - accessible and reassuringly present. It seemed to be working like a charm - once reimaged, on the new computer image I could go into the old PC name's list of tabs and bring them over as needed. Roughly 30 days after that old computer name had been online, that computer name and all of its tabs were GONE from the list of devices. No warning. No prompt. No dialog stating I have a certain number a days of access to that machine's tabs. NOTHING. Why have a feature that is going to disappoint your user base?! Use bookmarks, you might say? What if I hadn't bookmarked the tab yet? Why not keep that offline system persistent or AT LEAST warn the user of the impending deletion/removal?  ... View more

On Firefox desktop, you can pause history saving, which I find very convenient: the existing history remains, but new history is not saved. On mobile, however, this feature deletes all history when you press the “exit” button. It would be nice if the mobile feature were standardized with the desktop feature. ... View more

Here is what an auto-formatted indented list looks like in this idea submission box: Level 1 entry 1 Level 1 entry 2 Level 2 Entry 1 Level 2 Entry 2 Ouch. Looks like it's true to Thunderbird and Mozilla norm? Because Thunderbird does exactly the same without the vertical space between Level 1 and Level 2.  My desire is to see autoformatting as I do in any office suite I have tried and which makes abundant sense to me. That is with each new indent level cycle through the styles. In Thunderbird I do this manually and it's tedious and I can achieve this (note this submission box won't even accept the following HTML! so I have to quote it naked, it renders fine in Thunderbird): <ol> <li>Level 1 Entry 1</li> <li>Level 1 Entry 2</li> <ol type="I"> <li>Level 2 Entry 1</li> <li>Level 2 Entry 2</li> </ol> </ol> Ironically when I select the style manually (Format > List > List Properties) the Number Style or Bullet style is by default Automatic. Which suggests it would do something automatically, but it doesn't. I'd almost call this a bug to be honest given the naming of the default setting which engenders the very thought of automating what I am doing manually selecting the next style down for each new level. In any case I'd like to see indented lists automatically formatted as the setting claims so that each level has the next style down. It would be an even glossier feature if we could configure the order of the styles, but hey, let's not shoot for the moon. ... View more

Message Filters are a dream. A wonderful way of automatically or manually archiving loads of mails by category once read. The Unified Inbox is a dream. To see my many inboxes (and yes I watch about 20) in one list is wonderful and amazing. But the two features do not interplay. Message filters are on an account by account basis and not even easy to copy from account to account let alone run on all accounts. It would rock, IMHO if we could run message filters on the Unified Inbox! A Unified filter set! ... View more
