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

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 ...

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

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

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

The “Hide/Show Sidebar” toggle with the Control ⌃ + Z hotkey on macOS is a great setting; however, I believe it would be much more useful if it collapsed the sidebar into tab icons so that we can quickly hide the tab names and allocate more free space for the webpage as needed. The “Expand sidebar on hover” setting in the sidebar settings already does that job in an elegant way; however, it often glitches and stops working as expected, or becomes stuck in the collapsed state. This usually happens over time as you switch or open more and more tabs, and it resolves automatically after reopening the Firefox app. I suspect it could be related to an animation glitch (from the expand/collapse transition) or a corrupted/cluttered memory issue that affects Firefox’s internal state. Anyway, this issue was annoying enough that I had to disable the hover setting and reduce the size of the sidebar to make it just large enough for reading the tab names, so that I don’t have to hide the sidebar every time I switch to a different tab. I believe both the “Hide/Show Sidebar” toggle button on the toolbar and the hotkey would be much more useful if they collapsed the sidebar rather than hiding it completely; hence, I wanted to share my user experience as feedback.

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

The last two updates to Thunderbird mail (on Ubuntu) have changed the effect of double-clicking on the mail card: it used to open the message in a new tab, enabling a nearer full screen view of the whole message instead of having to scroll through the preview (this preview pane is a most valuable facility).  Now, double-clicking the card brings up an automatic reply message which quotes the original in full, even when settings are set not to do this in replies. This change is silly: it is unnecessary because both the menu system and the preview message have Reply and Forward options immediately to hand the three-dot menu on the card now gives a New Message From Template option if it is wanted, and opening the message in a new tab is now a less convenient two-menu process. I hope others will find this as irritating as I do and add to the request for this change to be dropped. ... 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

So it seems that Mozi//a Connect has a moderation problem. Comments take forever to be approved, threads get hidden so people can't see them, DMing staff doesn't seem to do anything anymore, etc. My idea is creating a "verified" status for certain accounts. The verification process could go something like: User "Hey I'm a real person." Staff: "What's the capitol of Kentucky?" User: "Frankfort." verified. And verified users wouldn't get held up in in Mozi//a Connect's pending moderation system, instead going straight through. ... View more
