I would like to propose a new native feature for Firefox that automatically groups open tabs based on their host (domain). This feature should add an option in Firefox’s settings so that when enabled, tabs sharing the same host are consolidated into a single tab element in the native tabs bar (positioned above the address bar as usual). Feature Requirements: Automatic Grouping by Host: When multiple tabs from the same website (i.e., same host) are open, they should automatically be grouped together in the native tabs bar. The grouping should be based strictly on the host portion of the URL (e.g., all tabs from “example.com” are grouped together). Visual Indicator: Each grouped tab should display a small badge or symbol indicating the number of “subtabs” contained within the group. This visual cue must be clearly visible at all times, ensuring users are aware of how many individual tabs are combined in the group. Integrated Dropdown for Subtabs: When the grouped tab is clicked, a dropdown list (or similar UI element) should immediately open, displaying all the individual subtabs within that group. The dropdown should enable users to switch directly to the desired tab with minimal effort (ideally in just two clicks). Native UI Integration: The feature should integrate seamlessly into Firefox’s native tabs bar, preserving the standard tab placement and functionality. This implementation should enhance tab management without requiring any additional UI elements or separate toolbars. User Configurability: An option in Firefox’s settings (or preferences) should allow users to enable or disable this feature. Additional configuration options (if feasible) might include grouping based on additional criteria (e.g., subdomains) or customization of the visual indicators. Advantages Over Existing Extensions: Reduced Clicks and Streamlined Workflow: Unlike existing extensions where users often need to manually group tabs or open an additional overview via extra clicks, this native solution automates grouping and presents the subtabs with a simple two-click process. Optimized Screen Real Estate: Existing solutions sometimes rely on sidebars or additional panels that occupy valuable browser space. Integrating the feature directly into the native tabs bar ensures that maximum content area is maintained for the webpage itself. Seamless Native Integration: As a built-in feature, it benefits from full integration with Firefox’s performance and stability. Users will experience a consistent look and feel that aligns with other native UI elements, avoiding the overhead and potential inconsistencies introduced by third-party extensions. User-Friendly and Intuitive: The proposed design mimics familiar interfaces, providing a more intuitive and efficient navigation model. Improved Efficiency: With automatic grouping and a clear visual indicator of the number of subtabs, users can quickly identify and switch between related tabs, significantly enhancing tab management and reducing clutter. Benefits: Clutter Reduction: Reduces clutter on the native tabs bar when multiple tabs from the same site are open. Efficiency: Improves user experience by enabling quick and easy switching between related tabs with minimal clicks. Intuitive Navigation: Emulates the convenient behavior seen in application grouping on some operating systems, providing a familiar and efficient navigation model for users. E.g. in Linux Mint (XFCE) see the screenshot below: What do you think about this? ... View more

Hey everyone. I am currently struggling with Firefox ignoring my policies.json files It would be a lot easier to troubleshoot if the about:policies page provided more information. I think it should show a list of paths it looks at, along with with feedback about the file (whether it exists, the syntax is correct, etc.). If there is a reason policies files are ignored altogether, state what the reason is. I think it would greatly help when users have trouble applying policies. ... View more

Thunderbird recently added the option to hide Local Folders, which was great for those who never used them. I think it would be just as useful to have an option to hide the default Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses. If someone is syncing contacts via CardDAV, they probably don’t need these default address books, yet they still show up in the Address Book tab all the time. Also, if this feature gets implemented, it would make sense to hide the All Address Books when there’s only one visible address book. That way, the UI stays clean and clutter-free. ... View more

I have no idea who thought of removing it, but when you bookmark an active url, you now only have the option to change the name, location and (the quite irrelevant) tags. There is, however, no (apparent) possibility to edit the url in the same pop-up anymore. You have to save the bookmark, then open and edit afterwards #obviousrantforobviousflaws     ... View more

One of the things MS does now in File Explorer is, when a file is selected to be renamed, only the "name" portion of the file is highlighted (left of the ".") to be changed. The .extension portion is not highlighted. This is a big time saver as it reduces clicks and cursor postioning. When I save a file in the browser and need to rename it, the entire filename is highlighted, thus extra clicks and cursor positioning is required to highlight only the name portion to be changed. Please modify this functionality in Mozilla products to be consistent with the way Windows File Explorer handles it as it is a big time saver when renaming files. Thank you! ... View more

Hello, I would like to propose an improvement regarding the management of self-moderation extensions in Firefox. Currently, these extensions can be uninstalled or disabled instantly, which reduces their effectiveness, especially for those designed to limit access to undesirable content like porn website or time-wasting websites like social network. To enhance their usefulness, it would be beneficial to introduce a mechanism preventing their immediate removal. One possible solution would be to impose a 72-hour delay before a deactivation or uninstallation request takes effect. Another approach could be requiring a password, set in advance by the user, to authorize such modifications. These measures would provide effective protection against impulsive decisions and help reinforce digital discipline. Best regards, magicsmith ... View more

I love Thunderbird, but at some point a while back a message summary box between the message table and message (see image) appeared. IMHO, it is totally unnecessary and a huge waste of screen space that I'd prefer was freed up to actually see the message.  For example, as in the redacted screenshot below, very little the actual message can be seen without scrolling. This Message Summary Box is unnecessary because all the information it provides is on the message table view. As for the buttons, they all have common shortcut keys (and/or just right click to see them in a pop up) ... View more

I'm totally blind and use Thunderbird with a screen reader. I've disabled all the extra screens so that Thunderbird opens directly to my message list. However, I have to press Shift and F6 to move the keyboard focus to the list so I can start working with messages. Please fix this in a future release so this extra step isn't necessary. ...

I receive numerous spam / junk mails from many subdomains in a particular domain (subdomain.domain) from which I don't receive any legitimate messages. I would like to be able to put '.domainname' or '*.domainname'in the message filter ('from') rather than having to add every 'subdomain.domain'' in the message filter. ... View more

We use our phones with thumbs mainly and to click anything on the higher end of the screen, we have to reach out our thumb to the top which is not convenient, especially the ones with large screen. We use tab switcher frequently in the day to navigate to different opened tabs.And to click on the first few tabs, thumb has to reach out to top of the screen, to prevent this, it would be amazing if we could scroll down the first tab to the bottom of the screen as well. We already scroll in tab switcher to navigate, but only for first few tabs, scrolling alone doesn't cut it, which is not consistent and is incomplete. Hope this gets implemented in both the list and grid view.  Before: hand reaching out & tilting phone (a big disturbance in the flow & convenience), then click on the first tab. After: a swipe down, then click on the first tab. Reasoning behind this is kinda the same why people prefer bottom address bar on phones. ... View more

I'm a Mac user, and nothing in Firefox shows that I'm using Firefox. This could be seen as a small detail, but trust me, to have people asking me constantly for the browser I'm using can become annoying. Also, I want to show off that I'm a Firefox user. It would be nice to replace the drawer icon for Firefox view with the Firefox icon or let the drawer and add a small Firefox logo inside it.     ... View more

On Firefox for Android, there is a function to select among your open tab s and apply them to a "collection," which then does nothing to the appearance of all your currently open tabs. To be current with standards for 2025, these collections should also group the tabs together. Alternatively, roll out a tab group feature. There is a dire need for visual cleanliness, but currently, Firefox for Android leaves all your open tabs completely separate and spread out all over the place. Please allow a feature to put them in clumps or groups just like Google Chrome for Android. ... View more

Hi, it is been a while since Firefox  extensions have been updated after a long time that they have been released. Let me give you some examples: Bitwarden 2025.1.2 released on January 25, 2025 but on Firefox there is version 2024.12.4 released on December 27, 2024. 1Password 8.10.58 released on January 21, 2025 but on Firefox there is version 8.10.56 released on December 12, 2024. Privacy Badger 2025.1.17 released on January 14, 2025 but on Firefox there is version 2024.7.17 released on July 17, 2024. The versions match those at the time of writing. Other extensions are not updated on a regular basis. Can you make sure that the extensions are updated regularly, with at most a couple of days difference? Thank you ... View more

There are many Email Service Providers (hosted service) are looking for multi-factor or password less authentication using Oauth2.  However Thunderbird OAuth2 is limited to few known OAuth2 providers like Gmail or Outlook. There is lot of demand for security feature (MFA) due to increasing fishing attack and loosing customers to bigs sharks like Gmail and Outlook. As I understand TB is promoting K9-Thunferbird for Android and iOS will be there soon. If you like end users to adopt open source clients I feel OAuth2 support must without which there is no competition with Gmail or Outlook. ... View more
