I have an email account and two possible email addreses (in the same account). Both addresses are addressed to this one account. Downloading the emails make all emails be stored up in the inbox folder. I used filters and subfolders to devide emails from the one address and the other one. Now, emails are devided correctly. But I face another problem. Why isn't it possible to make the folder sending emails with another address than the normal inbox? We don't forget, I have two addresses, one inbox and one subfolder. I could imagine a check box in the server preferences to allow entering another from-email address for answering a mail being within this subfolder. ... View more

Themes are a major reason why I choose Firefox over other browsers and the addition of vertical tabs is great and very welcome! I get that vertical tabs provide more vertical screen real estate, but I really enjoy themes and was wondering if it would be possible to make the height of the theme area adjustable or taller, so more of the selected theme shows when vertical tabs is switches on? ...

Please consider adding the Bitmoji extension for Firefox. I don't trust the third party extensions I've been able to find. I guess this requires coordinating with the Bitmoji folks. Thanks! ... View more

Really like the sidebar implementation.  That said, it obviously changes how you interact with FF.  With my two day testing I have a request. I have several extensions that add their own sidebars.   They also sometimes add icons to the address bar and to the toolbar (and often via a right-click menu).   Several provide 3 or more different ways to access them in the main FF UI.    There is only the overflow menu as a mechanism to choose the presentation of one - all others are not optional. This isn't anything new other than Vertical sidebars are now visible and accessed all the time.   I want the ability to decide what is on the sidebar just like I can decide which extensions are on the toolbar.  You can literally have sidebars that open sidebars that open sidebars.  (try enabling the sidebar.  Now right-click on the customize sidebar.  Now launch a sidebar extension.  I have one extension that then provides launching *another* sidebar.   Some extensions make sense next to the addressbar - some in the sidebar. In the sidebar "Customize sidebar" sidebar (whew!) can we please have the ability to have a sidebar overflow menu like the toolbar?   Or the ability to hide extension sidebar icons from the main sidebar list?  Or best would be the ability to disable sidebar integration by extension. The simplest way seems:   I always have the ability to open sidebar extensions via the customize sidebar sidebar.   Just add a checkbox next to the individual extensions so I can choose their presentation exactly the same way I can with the Firefox native ones "AI chatbot, History, Bookmarks...etc"   ...

It would be great to have a new option setting that Thunderbird for Android (K-9) start every time with an email account overview and the count of unread emails. By clicking one of the accounts it should close the overview and open the email account that was clicked. By swiping back the account overview should come back. So another email account could be clicked. Why this would be great: If you have a lot of email accounts actually you first start with one email account open, then you have to open the sidebar by clicking hamburger menu button, than to click another account and after that you have to close account overview sidebar and now you be able to repeat with next account... this is very time consuming. Long time ago K-9 had this and for a lot of people this was a very unique and helpful feature to choose K-9 out of other Android email apps. To bring bring this back as an optional behaviour of thunderbird would make a lot of people happy for sure. ... View more

After using the new tab sidebar for a while I have found that the X (close tab) button is annoyingly easy to accidentally click when attempting to switch tabs, especially when a volume button is covering part of the tab icon. Could there be an option to hide the close button. I can still close tabs by middle-clicking on the icons or using a keyboard shortcut. ... View more

  It would improve both discoverability and usability. 1. Discoverability: These features, despite being older than every web browser available today, seem relatively unknown. Unfortunate because it alleviates two problems I think are probably common:    ▶ First: I grew up with myspace and like things to look how I want    ▶ Second: accessibility    ▶ The secret third one: a mix of one and two with built in dark mode that is superior to chromiums invert colors version and any third party extension dark mode. 2. Usability: Since I started complaining about this problem, then discovering Firefox already solved it, then posting how awesome a feature it is, it does seem like (from my terminally online first hand experience) more websites have started preferring the slightly different settings Firefox uses instead of other browsers - but still some that are in between or have a dark mode/high quality accessibility settings built in, or just generally don't work well with the Firefox override (like when filling in forms, configuring display settings for other websites (like this post, for example), etc). Thus, while not super common, I do find myself needing to turn the override off and on somewhat often, and it is tedious to switch tabs and would be much easier if the settings were in the sidebar. I have tried to poke around in the code to see if it was something a non-coder could figure out with the help of an AI but soon learned it was not gonna happen that way lol - but despite that it does seem like something that would be a quick thing for someone who does know what they are doing. Maybe. mostly unrelated but I can't help myself so I gotta mention it: not sure whats up with the settings page spelling it colours before and now colors but thats... interesting... also not sure whats up with the firefox colors extension but I am slightly more than slightly amused the implementation of the windows OS theming on the default Firefox theme is slightly better than what either chrome or edge has lol ...

Search keyword shortcut, e.g. `!g apples` in the address bar to search for "apples" on Google is useful, but it's saved in places.sqlite along with other data like browsing history. I use multiple profiles and would like them to have the same keyword shortcut definitions, but copying over places.sqlite across profiles does not make sense because it would also sync browsing history. The keyword shortcuts (and bookmarks) should be decoupled from browsing history--the latter is clearly specific to a profile but the former is useful across multiple profiles. Perhaps keyword shortcuts being tied to the bookmark feature adds another level of complexity--IMO it doesn't make sense the two are tied either as one doesn't necessarily want a bookmark but still want to be able to visit a site using a keyword shortcuts.   I've been searching for an extension that implements the keyword shortcut feature of Firefox but have not found one that offers this. ...

Hey Firefox Team, A lot of Thai users use Firefox, and most of us use English barely. It’d be great not to rely on Google Translate anymore. Since Vietnamese and Indonesian are already supported (we all are in Southeast Asia). It would be great to see it support Thai as well 🙂 ... View more

The new sidebar is only useful to me if it's expanded because the favicons are often the same for tabs and thus I need to see the tab title. Unfortunately, sometimes the sidebar gets collapsed and has to be expanded again. A setting to always have it exapanded (or to maintain a minimum size) would be good. ... View more

This is something that is just cosmetic, but coming from the now defunct Mail and Calendar app in Windows 10/11, I liked how that app could display a graphic of the user's choice in the reading pane when starting up, and when no message was selected in any of the inboxes, instead of just a blank block of space. I don't know if there is any extension that does this (I could not find anything). I can replicate the image on start by changing the default URL in the settings, but it is gone after selecting a message. (Edit for grammar) ... View more

If scrolling to the top of the Browser til the top pulls down a animated arrow shaped circle spinning a 360, at that exact moment the Browser should refresh. A whole new initiative for bridging the gap between mobile aesthetics and mobile app design & and what we are able to develop for our desktops should be surprisingly similar to the feature above!!! To a new future for Mozilla design!!! ... View more

Dear Thunderbird Team, I am a regular user of Thunderbird and greatly appreciate its features and reliability as an email client. However, I’ve noticed that there is no built-in option to set Thunderbird to start automatically when my computer boots up. Currently, users like me have to manually configure this through operating system settings (e.g., Windows startup folder or macOS login items), which can be inconvenient and less intuitive, especially for those less familiar with technical workarounds. I’d like to suggest adding a simple toggle option in Thunderbird’s settings, such as “Start Thunderbird automatically on computer boot,” to make this process easier. This feature would offer several benefits: Convenience: Users could access their emails immediately without manually launching the app each time. Consistency: Many other applications, including email clients, offer this option, aligning with user expectations. User Control: It would empower users to decide whether they want Thunderbird to auto-start based on their needs. I understand there might be concerns about performance or security with auto-starting an application. To address this, the feature could be optional (disabled by default), allowing users to enable it only if desired. Implementation could involve integrating with standard OS startup mechanisms, which seems feasible given Thunderbird’s cross-platform support. This small addition could significantly enhance the user experience, making Thunderbird even more user-friendly. I hope you’ll consider this suggestion, and I’d be happy to see it discussed or voted on by the community. Thank you for your time and for continually improving Thunderbird! Best regards, Oasis Tian ... View more

Once a tab group is made, its mobility is extremely limited. Groups themselves cannot be moved, and we can only move individual tabs from the group's left to the group's right, but not visa versa without adding the tab to the group. ... View more

I think it would be interesting being able to open new tabs in inverse order. I mean: 1) When using horizontal tabs:     - Show the "Open a new tab" icon at the left of the opened tabs     - Open the new tabs (when clicking that icon) at the left of the rest of the opened tabs 2) When using vertical tabs:     - Show the "New tab" element above the opened tabs     - Open the new tabs (when clicking that element) above of the rest of the opened tabs ...

Imagine you have really really slow internet or are downloading a somewhat big file from a rate limited host with no resume or your region has unreliable power and there are constant power failures. And then imagine you use Chrome. The incomplete files are stored as randon named files with .crx_something file extension. And you won't be under the assumption that the file is actaally a fully downloaded file when looking at it in the future. Now imagine you're using firefox. There's 0 kb files with full file names. Except it's not a full file. It's a file that was being downloaded from a unrealiable server and was cut off or maybe there was a power failure and you have this file that looks like a normal file, but is 0 kb. So, I suggest using Chrome's approach of not using original file name when downloading a file and only set the name after the file is fully downloaded. I am such a guy with such unrealiable power and internet and I constantly have to deal with this. ... View more

Hello, I just enabled the new Firefox 136’s vertical tabs and it’s already great to be able to use it natively. I was wondering though if it would be possible to have bigger icons in the future? I saw tab width and spacing being discussed but not really icon size in the "collapsed" view. My motivation is that the websites’ favicons do not fill the whole rounded square and I find it a bit of a shame to have empty space instead of just filling it with the favicon. Here is what is I currently see with the default "System theme", for a selected tab and a non-selected tab: Thank you for implementing vertical tabs and thank you for your time! ... View more
