Microsoft Edge will always add a search engine for any site where a search is performed. To use this search engine, just add a part of the URL and press the Tab key. This removes the need to add search engines manually or via add-ons. The video below illustrates this process using DuckDuckGo.

When I am reading a very long paper, and I am looking for a specific section, I use the find in page function to look for all sections related to the keyword that I remember. However, sometimes this keyword appears many times in a short span, and I don't want to have to keep cycling through the matches one by one to find the section I'm looking for. I'd rather be able to input which instance I want by number using my keyboard. However this is not currently possible, and seems very easy to implement. Firefox

Add a button to disable "Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen" in the "View" menu on macOS, like in Google Chrome and Edge. This allows for an expanded field of view by hiding things that don't need to be seen all the time.

I really appreciate that Firefox now includes an AI Chatbot in the sidebar. It’s very convenient for quick questions while browsing.
However, the current design has a serious usability issue. You cannot send a message using Enter, which is the standard in nearly every modern chat interface. There is no keyboard shortcut to submit a message at all. The only option is to click the Send button manually with a mouse or pointer.
This breaks user expectations and disrupts natural typing flow. It is especially frustrating for people like me who rely on muscle memory after years of using tools like Slack, Discord, and even basic web forms where Enter submits your message. Calling this a "chat" but removing the most common chat behavior is misleading.
It also creates an accessibility barrier for people with motor disabilities, users who depend on keyboard-only navigation, and power users who rely on speed and efficiency. This lack of keyboard support makes the feature harder to use than it needs to be.
Please consider updating the sidebar so that Enter submits a message, and Shift + Enter creates a new line. That small change would make a huge difference in usability and accessibility.
Thanks for all your work on Firefox, and I hope this feedback helps.

Can we have a setting that automatically sorts downloads into folders depending on conditions like MIME type or file extension The rules can be like
image/*
D/Download/Pictures
application/x-bittorrent
D/Download/Torrents
video/*
D/Download/Videos
application/zip
D/Download/Compressed
application/x-msdownload
D/Download/Programs
instead of the traditional setting on every browser we have right now which is
Downloads Save files to ______________ [ ] Always ask you where to save files
This way we dont have to rely on other addons that make you do extra steps like right clicking the item, opening the context menu, and picking a folder to save it in. With Mozilla supporting this feature, its just normal download on the browser and let it sort the downloaded item after This is especially useful for downloads from sites like mega, gofile, etc. For example, if i download something from their sites, the browser can already tell what the item is based on the mime type, so it knows how to sort it without needing me to do anything. Theres also already an extension to download images without all the right clicking actions, so it's even better if the browser also knows where the files should go to

Hello,
I think there should be an option to customize the delay for expanding the sidebar with vertical tabs in Firefox. Most times when I want to change tabs, I move my mouse cursor over the sidebar, and I already know which tab it is and don't need to expand the sidebar, but I am unable to click and move my cursor away without the expanding animation starting. I think for me a 1-1.5s delay would be ideal (because sometimes I need to read tab titles), but I didn't find an option to change this.

Please provide options to disable/enable some of the features which might be used by some users but not others, these features unnecessarily occupies space in the menu redesign or shows in addresss bar... For example , I don't use reader mode function but there is no option in the UI to disable Similarly other features are 1 Reader mode 2. Translate 3.Print 4.Save as pdf 5.Passwords (many people might be using 3rd party password manager) So we need global settings in the UI to control these featues

Not sure if this qualifies as bug report or if it is a feature request to revert back the re-positioning of the pin icon on shortcuts in the New Tab Page since FF139. The new position in the top left corner of the shortcut image is more than ugly and does not have any obvious benefits over its previous position in front of the shortcut name.
Please move the pin icon back in front of the shortcut name as it has been <FF139 and as it is described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-items-on-firefox-new-tab-page

When tagging a message, it would be helpful if in addition to the little colored tag in the bottom right-hand corner, if the message in the message list could be outlined in the same red/green or other color so it would be easier to locate.

The new AI sidebar in Firefox is an exciting step toward smarter browser assistance. I’d love to see support for integrating custom AI tools or user-defined features, such as:
Connecting personal AI tools or APIs (locally hosted or cloud-based),
Creating custom sections or shortcuts, like a personal recipe database, a to-do list, or a notes panel powered by AI,
The ability to define and switch between multiple AI instances, each with its own purpose (e.g., "Coding Assistant", "Travel Planner", "Journal Chat", etc.).
This would greatly enhance the sidebar for many users—both for personal productivity and professional workflows. Especially for those who use their own automations or open-source AI tools, Firefox could become an even more adaptable and powerful tool.
Additional Suggestion: A small API or plugin system for developers to create their own sidebar features or tabs would be a huge bonus.

I hope Firefox Android can add a security feature for private tabs. When the user switches to another app or the device screen turns off, accessing private tabs again should require authentication, such as a password, fingerprint, or facial recognition, to prevent unauthorized access to private browsing content. This feature should have a toggle in the settings, allowing users to enable or disable it according to their needs.

Can we update Firefox search engine options to include Startpage? Other browsers already have this & would make it a lot easier to use on my phone.

Greeting Mozilla/Firefox team and community, As someone who values privacy, innovation, and open web tools, I’ve loved using Firefox over the years — and I’d like to offer a simple idea: Consider adding ChatGPT as a built-in search engine option in Firefox? Millions of users now rely on conversational AI to explore topics, solve problems, and spark creativity. Having ChatGPT available directly from the search bar — much like Wikipedia, Google, or DuckDuckGo — could offer Firefox users a fast, intuitive, and modern way to interact with information. This wouldn't replace traditional search, but rather complement it. Giving users the freedom to choose a generative AI option aligns with Firefox’s mission of user agency and a healthier internet. Thanks for considering it — and thanks for continuing to build a browser that puts users first. Clark Johnson

It will be great to have Adblock filter lists like Brave has.
It should make filter lists such as - Hagezi, OIDC, ublock, Adguard available for selection please.

When a user open a rss/atom link, Firefox show raw xml. Since it is a common format (like images, audio or video files), it would be great to have a nice formatting without relying on third party tools or extension.

Tab Groups are great but would be awesome if we could use:
Custom Colors
This would help immensely for colorblind or improved contrast, compensation for lighting/display issues, etc.
Currently only 5 or 6 of the 9 colors are "functionally usable" for some due to colorblindness, which is quite limiting in many cases.
Customization could be done in settings or a pop up menu, etc. for RGB triplet decimal & hex values.
More than 9 colors
To solve the space issue, could use something like an overflow/drop-down/menu button that leads to a list/grid of the additional colors (with scroll bars if there are too many for even that area).
Thanks!

It’d be cool if Night Mode on iOS could be configured to *follow* the system/device theme. that way, when a user’s device shifts to dark mode, Firefox would follow that accordingly and display all webpages in dark mode without the user having to manually turn on (or off) Night Mode. FWIW, Edge on iOS does this.
