Steps to reproduce: Copy an image to the clipboard using any screenshot tool (e.g., Flameshot, Gnome-screenshot) on Linux. Open a web application that allows multiple file uploads and checks for duplicate filenames (such as Google Gemini). Paste the image using Ctrl+V. The browser automatically assigns it the generic filename "image.png" (or "bild.png" in the localized Swedish version). Take a new, different screenshot to the clipboard. Paste the new image into the same input field. Expected behavior: The browser should generate a unique filename for each pasted clipboard image (for example, by appending a timestamp or a counter like image_1.png , image_2.png ). This would allow web applications to recognize them as distinct files. Actual behavior: Firefox assigns the exact same static filename ("image.png" or "bild.png") to every image pasted from the clipboard. As a result, web apps assume the user is trying to upload the same file twice. It either overwrites the first image or rejects the second one completely. This breaks the workflow for power users, making it impossible to paste multiple screenshots into the same chat prompt without manually saving them to disk first.

It is really dumb to require Firefox be started up in "Normal" mode in order to set it up to be started in "Safe" mode. What is a user suppose to do if Firefox WON'T start up in "Normal" mode? I propose that a right click option be available, over the Firefox icon, with an option in the popup menu that allows the user to start up Firefox in "Safe" mode. ... View more

People have been requesting "split view" feature of firefox browser, to split into 2 views (horizontally). Currently Google Chrome supports this feature. However, it is not enough, please make firefox support up to 4 split views which can be spited horizontally and vertically. For 2-3 splits, users can choose horizontal and vertical split; for 4 splits, users can choose horizontal, vertical or quadrant.  ... View more

I have a suggestion: Is it possible to hide the "Take Screenshot" option from the Firefox right-click menu? I always take screenshots using the Print Screen key on my keyboard, so I don't see the need to select it from the right-click menu. Also, there is an "extensions.screenshots.disabled" option in the "about:config" menu, and I found a search result that said "You can hide the 'Take Screenshot' option from Firefox," so I tried it, but it didn't work, so I don't think there's any reason to keep "extensions.screenshots.disabled" in "about:config." ...

Hello all, I've been slightly annoyed with this usability issue in Firefox for a while now. My use case is that I have tabs in the title bar disabled, and in some windows the tab sidebar is hidden. In this situation, the window does not have a drop target. In the screenshot I have attached, you can see that I am trying to drag a tab into a window, but there's nowhere to drop it. My idea to solve the problem is to make the "List all tabs" button droppable for tabs. It would be nice if dropping a tab onto the "List all tabs" button adds the tab to the end of tabs in the window. ... View more

Hello everyone, Thank you for reading this. Thunderbird is great software, and I use it with pleasure. I’m also looking forward to ThunderMail and the Pro version so I can contribute to its development. I’d like to suggest implementing a more advanced task manager than the one currently available. As a small business user, I need something simple but very effective for managing my daily routine. At the moment I use TickTick. It’s fast, inexpensive, and feature-rich, and it ticks all the boxes for me. It could be a good reference point for a future task manager in Thunderbird. I’d also be very happy to pay for this—especially if it were included in the Pro version. I also noticed that TickTick’s user interface resembles Thunderbird’s (see attached screenshot). I don’t know if that makes things easier, but it may be possible to reuse some of the existing design patterns—for example, displaying tasks in a similar way to emails—which would be a big usability win. I hope you find this idea useful, and I’d appreciate your support with a vote. Thank you again for a great piece of software. S ... View more

When you click the star to save a link you can enter a name and then select where you want to save the link, when you select the drop down it shows a window with saved locations but if you have loads of folders you have to scroll and try and find the one you want. it would be more useful to be able to expand that box by dragging the corner down, and/or being able to search for the folder you want within that window. ...

I propose a new isolated Firefox window that launches an ephemeral, immutable QEMU‑based Linux VM running only Firefox. This would allow untrusted websites to be used with greatly reduced risk, though VM escapes and network tunnel risks remain and must be mitigated. Users should be warned not to enter personal data, as the VM itself can still be temporarily compromised, and also that isolation is not perfect and only protects the host from the VM but not the VM from a compromised host. The VM would run as a separate user with no host Firefox data. For security, GPU acceleration + clipboard should be disabled, the VM and OS must be properly configured, and Wayland + Firejail (with network namespaces and NAT obfuscation) should be used for privacy and to reduce attack surface. Downloads could be limited to safe file types (MP4, JPG, TXT, etc.), require host confirmation, and be sanitized before moving to the host download folder. VM settings could be configurable in the hosts Firefox settings page. Although complex and adding bulk, this feature could be optional and would significantly enhance secure browsing. Thank you! ...

Preface   Firefox lacks in many aspects Chromium does very well regarding handling of Pen/Touch Input, Tablet PC UX. This needs to change for good. Over the past five years, annual sale of touchscreen laptops have risen from estimated 17% to 25%. Tablet PC form factor and touchscreen laptops are ever increasingly becoming more popular. Next MacBook is rumored to release with a touchscreen which could make the trend accelerate further. Firefox is not prepared. List of Issues I have Observed   - DND (Drag 'n Drop) Support Can't drag tabs, sidebar separator/divider line, downloaded items from download menu  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1692072 - Can't select text by dragging while holding down pen/stylus right click (barrel) button This is a platform behavior that's not supported by Firefox, but is supported by Chromium "Selection with pen. We also revised selection with pen by giving it more control over the selection process. Not only are we showing selection grippers whenever text is selected via pen, but also are allowing for a consistent and fast selection of content – text, objects, or ink—by dragging the pen while the barrel button is pressed." (https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2017/06/08/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-16215-pc-build-15222-mobile/) - Flick gestures can't be activated with Pen/Touch input History Back/Forward flick (swipe) gestures that are available to trackpads are not available for pen/stylus, touchscreen usage. - Pinch to zoom is not as polished as Chromium implements Pinch to zoom using touchscreen on Firefox feels as if your finger movements correspond to sliding vertical/horizontal scrollbars to move webpage instead of directly moving the content like a dragging motion (i.e. Direct Manipulation). The zoom gesture needs refinements to match Chromium implementation. I have observed that some software (e.g. Tablet Pro Zoom) which add system wide custom touchscreen gestures interfere with Firefox's zoom gesture so as to make it not function at all whilst the same doesn't happen on Chromium browser. - Some of the buttons in Screenshot UI are not clickable with Pen/Touch input   ...

Native support for the side panel feature. This feature is available in multiple browsers, including Firefox forks (Floorp, Zen), so Firefox is clearly capable of it. Example and Reasoning The current (and only known) user-made implementation is through the use of userChromeJS.  https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/second-sidebar-with-web-panels-for-firefox-userchrome-js/td-p/76815 The feature is so massively useful that it should be prioritized for native support. The user-made version is great but it has not been actively maintained for a while and leads to complex visual glitches in the latest Firefox version. Why current organization tools cannot replace its utitlity New sidebar: some panels that can be launched from the sidebar button strip behave similarly to the proposed side panel, but they are limited in options (settings, bookmarks, passwords, etc). Transforming them to a proper side panel would require more item selection, such as pinning more toolbar items (including extensions) and any websites. Such iteration also requires decoupling the current sidebar from vertical tabs so both features don't compete for space.  Split view: while both methods allow viewing multiple websites within a window, opening a website on a side panel allows you to jump between tabs while keeping the panel site open. ...

I can see that changes are made in the search function nowadays, and I want to point out that the existing search bar works wonderfully well to some of us (at least for me !). A few days ago on nightly, the same search widget as in the address bar appeared in the search bar. I tried to use it but found it very cumbersome. Hopefully a config setting exists to get the previous behaviour back. But I fear this possibility gets removed some day. Even more : using the widget, middle click doesn't work (as in opening a new tab), it just overwrites the current tab. As an example, here's something I can't seem to be able to do with the widget : perform the same search on several engines in a comfortable way. Currently I just have to type in, then middle click on every search engine I want the search done, fast and easy. On the new system it's much more tedious, at least four clicks are needed for each engine : one to cancel current engine, two to change engine, and one to start searching, phew… And if you add the middle click problem it's even worse !   So please keep the current one as an option, it works well. ...

Hi, I'd like a right click on a tab group name to lock/unlock the group so i can't remove or add a tab from it by accident. Or basically the opposite of "right clic => dissociate", "right clic => keep associated untill i say otherwise". Or the same behaviour than when you slide a tab into a group, you see the color bar, you let it go and it's added. I don't want to remove it by sliding out for 1/100th of a second... By accident i mean Firefox behaviour is really really crap, many time i click on a tab inside a group (especially the rightest one) and notice later that the tab isn't in his group anymore...  ...

When I am in the "All Address Books" View, there is no way to know, where the found contact is stored. The "All Address Books" is logically my primary go to, when I am searching for any contact information. So when I want to find out where a contact is stored I have to look in every single adress book to se where it is stored and where not. It would be nice if a field would show the adressbook the contact is stored in or if the search results would not only show the Name and email but also the adress book the contact is contained. I might want to reorganize the location where a specific contact is saved. The current state makes it merely impossible to do so. ... View more

It would be really helpful if Firefox automatically alphabetized saved website folders or maybe made them rearrangeable.  Currently the most newly created saved website folder headings appear at the bottom with the oldest appearing at the top. One has to scroll & search for existing tabs.  It's so ineffective. Itd also be nice to have sub tabs within folders. For example: Recipes. There could be sub tabs for "quick & easy" or "desserts" etc.  No one could function in their office or personal lives with actual file folders just stack randomly in one big pile. But Firefox makes us do that.  ... View more

In standard Firefox Mobile, I can see my Extensions, interact with them, etc. However when I'm in a website that I used the "Add to home screen" function for (installed web browser app) and I open a link in that, it shows a miniature menu with the "Open in Firefox", "Find in page", and "Desktop Site". Some of my extensions break the site, so I need to manually Open in Firefox to turn the extension off. I would much prefer to have the menu display the option to interact with my extensions directly. ... View more

i have some question to developers(and maybe by this way we, users - can get this features in firefox): Why is Pinch-to-Zoom on touch pad is SO DIFERENT in compare with ctrl + mouse whell up\down? After some time spenden only on laptop, I would like to have "same thing" on desktop PC - but there is no touchpad and if i try to get same thing by ctrl + mouse whell up\down - it is no same! at all. (I understand that this Pinch-to-Zoom function is hardcoded somewhere within the touchpad driver libraries or the system's own libraries for how it works with the touchpad. And, most likely, this function can't be directly exposed to the mouse interface via the API. But is it really that difficult to write a wrapper for this function around the library that would function within the browser itself? So, in the browser itself, it would be possible to choose whether to use the standard scroll wheel(ctrl + mouse whell up\down) or use the scroll wheel like Pinch-to-Zoom on a laptop touchpad. I understand that this is some kind of system library, either in the Windows or Linux operating system itself, or in the touchpad driver. But is it really that difficult to implement a wrapper for this system function within the browser? ) ... View more
