In the Firefox link context menu, when right-clicking a link, menu items can normally be selected via keyboard shortcuts (underlined letters). Since the last update, two items share the letter K, which prevents direct selection, pressing K now cycles between them and requires Enter to confirm. There are enough unused letters to assign each item a unique one. ... View more

Hi! It would be great that the toolbar of the PDF viewer in Firefox were customisable. I would like to be able to decide which features (and their icons) were visible on the bar and which others were collapsed. Currently, it is imposible to change the distribution of the tools on the bar... or I do not know how to do it. Thank you very much. ... View more

Note to reader: For clarity, I will omit "tool" from "bookmarks toolbar" to distinguish it from "toolbar" I like to be able to have no tabs visible. This makes my browser feel more efficient and less distracting. By turning on vertical tabs, I can hide the sidebar completely to produce my desired outcome: space efficiency. However, the optimization achieved by turning vertical tabs on is reduced by two problems: 1. The toolbar becomes more cluttered 2. Switching tabs is slow On my first point: Turning on vertical tabs adds two mandatory icons to the toolbar. One of them is an unremovable blank space (can be moved but I don't use any blank spaces so I would like to remove it). The other is the sidebars button, which I do not want to use, because there is already keyboard shortcut for it. I do not use the overflow menu either, so if I hide the sidebars button in the overflow menu, it still takes just as much space (and requires an extra click to open). In addition, the blank space cannot be moved to the overflow menu or removed. If I try to remove the sidebars button from the toolbar, my tabs are no longer vertical. My solution for this first problem: Treat sidebars like bookmarks. Firefox understands that its users know the shortcut for turning the bookmarks bar on and off, so it doesn't require the bookmarks bar button to appear on the toolbar. In the hamburger-style application menu, there is a whole sub-menu for bookmarks. Removing the bookmarks bar button from the toolbar does not make the bookmarks bar persistent unless the user adds the button back. The bookmarks sub-menu in the application menu has a way to manage bookmarks, show the bookmarks bar, and more. Add a sub-menu titled "Sidebars" to the application menu in the same category as Bookmarks, History, etc. and give it corresponding options (turn sidebar on/off, turn on vertical tabs, manage sidebar app integrations). If a user wanted to turn on or off the sidebar, they would be able to do so through the application menu, and if they wanted vertical tabs without having the sidebars button visible on the toolbar, they could remove it without vertical tabs turning off. And make the random spacer removable (if it was even intentional).   On my second point: Tab switching is hard to do when you can't see what you're switching to. There is a helpful button called "list all tabs" that can be added to the toolbar, but it is not as intuitive as you would expect. I do like how middle clicking, scrolling, dragging, and other tab operations all work like for horizontal tabs (and how they all work when I hold left click to press the button). However, list all tabs button does not allow me to hover over a tab and see the preview I normally get from the sidebar or horizontal tab bar. Also, when I hold left click to select the list, it behaves the same way as when I do a short click, which means I can't quickly check my tabs without having to click off or press escape after. I would love a faster way to check on and select tabs with this button. My solution for this second problem: Make a preview of the tab appear when hovering over it from the button like you can from the regular tab bar and sidebar. Ideally, this preview would be to the right of the list, not right of (or under) the cursor, to prevent the preview from hiding other tabs or 'backing the cursor into a corner.' Also, allow the tab list to only stay open for as long as the user is holding down left click if they opened it that way. If a user held left click to open the tab list and left their cursor hovered over a tab, they would be able to switch to that tab by letting go of left click. Conversely, if the user held left click to open the tab list and left their cursor on a tab delete button or page space, the tab list would simply close when they let go of left click. The ability to close a tab from the tab list button via click release on the "x" button could be dictated by a setting (I don't have the usage data so who am I to say if it should be on or off by default; I personally only use middle click). Also, having the ability to scroll up or down with the cursor hovering over the button to scroll through tabs would be AMAZING. I am on regular old Firefox  144.0, Windows 11. Thank you so much! ...

It would be a good idea to show the count of new junk emails. In box emails have a count of all the new emails; I believe junk should also have a count.  Sometimes users so not look at the junk folder to see if there are new emails and may miss an email that is important.  If there is a new email count then it will prompt the user to check if the new email is true junk. The user could delete, respond, or move it as needed. ... View more

It could be made so that if you press Shift+Enter or Ctrl+Enter a search term into the search bar, it uses a different engine. For example, I like using perplexity for my search engine because it gives me direct answers. Still, I could also be looking for something specific, and I'd want to use Google, then I have to take my hands off my keyboard, carefully hit the tiny drop-down menu, and switch engines, AND switch back afterwards. It's just too much of a hassle.  ... View more

Currently, the page preview thumbnails in the sidebar of the built-in PDF viewer are fixed in size. For users working with documents where visual identification of pages is important, such as presentations or visually rich reports, the small size of the thumbnails can make it difficult to quickly find a specific page. This proposal is to add the ability for users to increase the size of these page preview thumbnails.     ... View more

When using tab grouping in Firefox, all groups stay open at once. This leads to clutter and unnecessary memory use when switching between different contexts. It would be very useful to have a native option that automatically closes or suspends tabs in other groups when a new tab group is opened. Example use case: I have several tab groups for different projects — “Work,” “Research,” and “Personal.” When I open the “Work” group, I want Firefox to automatically collapse the other groups. This keeps my workspace clean and focused. Benefits: Keeps the tab bar clean and organized Saves memory and CPU resources Helps focus by reducing distractions from other projects ... View more

As I understand it, some AI image generators embed watermarks to show that the image was generated by AI. With the amount of AI being generated and with many social media platforms not moderating their content, isn't it time that the browsers start implementing tests for these watermarks and overlaying a symbol or watermark over the image or in some other way show that it was generated, in order to protect viewers from false information and propaganda. ...
