Hi Firefox team, I wanted to report an issue I ran into recently that might point to a potential vulnerability or at least a stability concern. While browsing a certain video streaming website (not official, but not malicious either), a single tab in Firefox suddenly started consuming a massive amount of RAM — to the point where my system's memory usage reached 100%. I checked Firefox’s internal Task Manager, and that one tab alone was using several gigabytes of memory, far more than any other. Shortly after, my system slowed down dramatically, and the GPU driver crashed and restarted. Eventually, Firefox and the OS recovered, but the system became nearly unusable for a while. It seemed like the tab triggered some sort of memory allocation loop, possibly using WebGL or an intensive video renderer. There was no warning, crash, or limit applied — Firefox just allowed the tab to keep growing in memory until the system reached critical levels. It felt like an unintentional denial-of-service (DoS) triggered just by visiting a page with heavy multimedia content. ### Suggestion: It would be great if Firefox had some kind of <<per-tab memory usage cap>> or at least monitoring that could: - Warn the user when a tab starts using excessive memory, - Or automatically suspend/terminate the tab if it goes beyond a safe threshold. This could help prevent one misbehaving page from affecting the entire system, especially in systems with shared GPU/RAM setups. Thanks for all the work you do — Firefox is my daily browser and I love it. Just wanted to share this in hopes it helps make it even more robust. Best regards, JASTO ... View more

With Pocket being gone and being replaced with Recommended stories, I was thinking about this concept. These Recommended stories are all initiated and in some way pushed by Mozilla. Some people might not enjoy this, so luckily it's possible to opt-out. On the other hand I sometimes find it enlightening to see articles of interest, like the holiday I am currently planning.  What if these articles are based on the users' interests/labels, wouldn't that be the best way to ‘target’ users interests? So not based on (tracking) cookies, history, open tabs, etc., but only the users' controlled interests/labels. The users will of course have the ability to add/edit/delete these interests at all time or maybe even set an expiry date, like past the holiday season. This is a good way to put the user in control. ... View more

Prioritizing the visibility of all of those checkbox settings (highlight all, match case, etc.) over the visibility of matches makes no sense. Obviously, it isn't an issue when your screen is full-sized. But it's hidden if, for whatever reason, your window is taking up less than 2/3 of the screen (i.e., split screen). Most people want to see the number of results and keep track of where they are (e.g., "2 of 278 matches"). I highly doubt people's checkbox settings regularly change, but the number of matches and how far along you are does. So logic follows that the matches should always be visible.  ... View more

Let's say I surf to website foobar.com. The site sets third party cookies for multiple other domains. The idea is, those cookies (and other data) would stored in the browser but they would be available only when URL bar is something like foobar.com (e.g. www.foobar.com). If I browsed to foobaz.org (in the URL bar) it could set the exactly same cookies for those other domains but the cookies set while in foobaz.com and foobar.com would be kept separated from each other in the browser. So, each domain in URL bar would be its own sandbox, or cookie space. Maybe it could be configurable to which domains this applies for, and maybe there could be option to include all except some by default. It would be different from indognito mode because the cookies and data could be preserved. Sites would be fooled to believe the user doesn't have tracking protection. True, it wouldn't be full tracking protection - they would know when the same user visits their site - but it would reduce the probability letting another website to reveal it as well. Of course cookies aren't the sole identification method and this wouldn't protect against those but it would add a notch more privacy. ... View more

I would like Delete to be added to the menu of a Right Click on messages in Thunderbird.  I think that used to be there, but I am sorely missing it now.   That could also allow selecting a range of messages to delete.  Why do I have to open (each) message, or then switch hands with the mouse to use the Delete key?   Cannot imagine why Delete is not in that menu now, everything else is, but Delete is what I want most of the time. ...

If -- as is probably common -- my inbox gets left to itself for a while, it fills up with an awful lot of stuff. Not necessarily junk mail, but things like receipts for purchases and subscriptions, newsletters, informative but not necessarily vital to read now (or maybe ever) emails, we all know inboxes like that. So it's useful to be able to select multiple messages for filing or deletion. The Selection column ought to help with that. It kind of does... but in comparison to many webmail interfaces, it's extremely limited. For instance, you might have 35 emails already selected and the 36th you manage to click just outside the checkbox. Even in the whitespace inside the column but outside the checkbox isn't the click you needed, as all your selections clear, instantly and irretrievably, because Thunderbird thinks "I'm being asked just to select that one message and clear the previous 35 selections." And when it's 35 messages, it's bad enough, but I've had situations where it was over 100 and I promise you I struggle not to utter Rude Words when that happens. So it's barely more useful than ctrl-click is. Why can't -- or shouldn't -- the selection tickbox be sticky? Select or deselect a single message in addition to any that may already be selected, and if a mass selection or deselection needs to be made, just use the existing top-of-column functionality. Thunderbird is great for dealing with single messages, or multiple messages that can be selected via a definable search. But where multiple messages need to have their headers looked at and assessed by a human to decide if they should be deleted or filed, it's easier and significantly less frustrating to do that in a webmail client. That seems a bit sad. ... View more

In Microsoft Edge there's a function where when you have tabs grouped and they are collapsed, you can hover over the collapsed group and then a scrollbar appears where you can select a specific tab. It's a great way of decluttering if you are working in a lot of tabs at the same time. Firefox doesn't have that function, in order to select a specific tab within a collapsed group you need to open the entire group and that opens all of the tabs. ... View more

Have been a longtime user of Mozilla and love the progress it made through the years. Would love to see the option to be able to close/delete synced tabs between mobile device and laptop, so that if some/more tabs were say opened on laptop (after being synced with phone) they could be closed via laptop (in the left sidebar you would just close the tab you do not need anymore and not go back to the phone and try and locate the tab to then close it there).  ...

OpenSearch was removed in the 2019 Firefox for Android remake and still not brought back. Just look at the steps one needs to take to add a search engine now — this is not normal. It also makes engines other than the default ones second-class citizens, without even their own icons. Tap the three-dot menu button. Tap Settings. In the General section, tap Search. Tap Add search engine. A list of additional predefined search engines will be displayed. Tap the Other radio button to add a search engine and do the following: in the Name field, enter Kagi. In the Search string to use field, enter https://kagi.com/search?q=%s  In the Search suggestion API (optional) field, enter https://kagi.com/api/autosuggest?q=%s Tap the confirmation button in the top right corner of the screen. If your browser is configured to default to private browsing, this will require you to log back in to Kagi each time your tabs are closed. To get around this, in the Search string to use field, use your session link and append &q=%s at the end. ... View more

As a very satisfied use of Thunderbird and also using the indexing software Copernic, I note that indexing Thunderbird emails takes tens of hours. Copernic states that this is because "the current Thunderbird messaging API is single thread only". If this is so (I have no expertise), an upgrade of the API would be nice so Thunderbird may work better in commercial and high-volume/high productivity environments. ... View more

Newsletter Summary Function Imagine if you could tag a folder as a "Newsletter folder" by right-clicking on it in the tree and then make the following configuration: 1. You pick an example newsletter which shows up on the screen in a new windows and now you can filter out, based on tag-level, which text is a relevant headline or not. This could be implemented with a slider or clickboxes on top or side of the window. What you picked is marked with a color in the example newsletter. You could also click and choose the first sentence in the opening as part of this headline entry. 2. You save the setting. The setting is tied to the folder. 3. You can generate a summary newsletter mail with all the headlines and date next to them by right-clicking the folder in the tree, the result is displayed in a new window. All duplicates are weeded out if you choose so.Datum sorting is also an option (understood). 4. Now you can click on a headline and the article opens up in the default browser (Alt. make default search engine to open the title of the headline, in case link is dead and you need to search the Internet for the article).
