On previous versions of Firefox from early to late 2010s, they were able to render fonts to unhinted greyscale outlines (DWRITE_RENDERING_MODE1_OUTLINE) when gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode is set to 6. Unfortunately, it no longer works since 2019. Please bring back the ability to use unhinted greyscale outlines when the parameter is set to 6, and also add the seventh parameter for gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode, in order to allow the ability to render DWRITE_RENDERING_MODE1_NATURAL_SYMMETRIC_DOWNSAMPLED on fonts. I hope they should be implemented in future releases of Firefox. ... View more

Well, the subject line basically says it all. When you open from the menu "Extras" -> "Activities" a new window opens. This should be a tab, for convinience - or there should be an option to choose. Best regards Heinrich ... View more

When saving messages to disk (or dragging&dropping them) it can be extremely useful to touch the date and time of the saved messages to the date and time of the original email message. This feature allows you to maintain the chronology and properly sort messages also on disk. ... View more

Currently the bookmarks sidebar has an indented tree style view. I think users may want to view bookmarks in typical file directory list style. What I mean is: Only have current level folders & bookmarks visible When navigating into a subfolder, only the contents of that subfolder become visible This exists when using the bookmarks manager pop out window, but I think having this as a viewing option would also be useful in the sidebar. I know as someone who has a ton of bookmarks I would appreciate the viewing flexibility. Thanks! ... View more

Sorry for the verbose title. I appreciate the changes from this community idea. It improved most of the jarring focus changing while organizing tab groups. # Still, there is a bit of unintuitive behavior in this scenario: Have focused tab in active Firefox window A Right click different, unfocused tab in active Firefox window A Send unfocused tab to group in inactive Firefox window B via context menu Tab focus & active window changes to sent tab in Firefox window B # Expected behavior Step 4: Focused tab and active window remains unchanged. Sent tab joins selected group. Thanks for your time! ... View more

Currently, empty lines at the end of signatures are removed. But these lines may be helpful to add some space between the signature and the quoted email, if the signature is placed above the quoted text. Without extra lines, there is almost no space between the new email and the quoted text. ... View more

When new unread mail arrives in a folder, Thunderbird turns the folder-name and unread-mails count to Blue. However, this indication does not survive a restart, so if a folder currently has new unread mail and TB is restarted (or for instance a Windows restart occurs) then the folder remains unmarked. Could the "new unread mail" status be preserved so that the indication is shown when TB restarts? I'd suggest that no "new unread mail" should remain unmarked, "new unread mail from previous sessions" be marked in one colour and "new unread mail in this session" be marked in another. My preferences would be black, turquoise and hot pink for these three states. Others would inevitably disagree, so a simple colour-select facility (possibly via config) would be desirable ...

To make the experience smoother for users of different computer generations. We would like to give users the ability to select the "Prefer hardware accelerated codecs" option in performance browser settings. The idea is simple: Firefox will first select the codecs that are confirmed to be hardware-accelerated for the user's computer. Today, Google YouTube tells browsers to use the AV1 codec with high priority. And browsers follows this, despite the fact that VP9 and AVC codecs are also available.  We can change this to ensure smooth playback across diverse hardware configurations. The goal is to ensure smooth, seamless playback for all users by effectively adapting to the specific hardware acceleration capabilities of each machine.  Let's vote to change how Firefox prioritizes codecs that will unlock the full potential of hardware acceleration for everyone. Let's change the default behavior so more people can enjoy the pleasure of using Firefox. Let's provide this opportunity to all users. ... View more

For some unknown reason, pinned vertical tabs get stacked horizontally only, packed as tightly as possible within the current side bar width. I can get them stacked vertically by reducing the side bar width, thus reducing all tabs to just the icon. There is plenty of room for a couple dozen tabs in that side bar, and users can decide whether display just the icon or also (a part of) the title/URL. A similar feature can be seen in Vivaldi browser. ... View more

Quite often you come across a page that already has a bookmark, but you want to see it within the bookmark folder hierarchy. At the moment this is quite difficult because you have to search through your bookmarks. The most intuitive way would be an option to locate the bookmark inside its folder. Similar to what you can do when searching bookmarks and opening the context menu, but in this case available directly from the bookmark icon next to the URL. --- BTW, when using FF mobile on Android, new bookmarks are always stored to the folder last used in the desktop version, without an option to change that apparently. That makes saving bookmarks on mobile quite useless, because it's nearly impossible to locate them later ... ... View more

Google lets me add operators to search for things, https://ahrefs.com/blog/google-advanced-search-operators This feature should be in the Firefox history search. If I wish to search for the word "coffee" only in the months between Feb 2023 and June 2023, between the hours of 14.00 - 16.30, on the websites "coffeelover.com" and "coffeematch.org", then I should be able to. Furthermore, after I search for content, there should be a right click option which says "show search result in full context" which will then bring me to where that search result is in the full unfiltered list of search results. This is useful in case I see something I remember seeing around the time I saw the thing I am trying to find. ... View more

I have several email accounts that share the same incoming emails.  We sort them into folders.  There are several types of emails that need sorting and they go into sub folders by year and by month.  So for example lets say that I have three types of emails and they span three years and there are 12 monthly folders in each of those years.  That would be 3X3X12 or 108 folders.  Now I need to make those 108 folders for each of 6 email accounts.   Is there a way to make just one set of folders and copy them over and over?  For example create Folder "A" and create three years within folder "A" and copy those three "Yearly" folders over into Folder "B" and "C".  Then go back to Folder "A" year one and create the 12 monthly folders.  The Copy those monthly folders over to each of the three yearly folders in folder "A".  Then copy ALL of the sub folders in folder "A" and paste them into folder "B" and so on.  Then I could repeat this process for emails accounts 1-6. Golly I hope I have explained that well enough.  I am unsure if there is a way to do this be I would love to find one. AMB. Jeff ... View more

Hi, When I click on "View recent browsing across windows and devices", the "View recent browsing across windows and devices" opens as expected. When I press the same icon again, the window stays open, which is annoying considering that the rest of the options close when I click second time on their corresponding icon. Can you make the "View recent browsing across windows and devices" close when I click on its icon twice? This behavior will be consistent with the other Firefox UI elements as well. ... View more
