Hi all!   I'd like to have the same resize behavior in Thunderbird as in Outlook. When the Thunderbird window is not maximized and I arrange the panes: list of messages and message preview pane, they look OK and optimized. But after I maximize the window, the size of both panes are fixed and big gap appears in between them. Outlook has the smart approach to resize the message preview pane, so the window real estate is used optimal.    The best is to see the images of both programs.   1.  Thunderbird not maximized 2. Thunderbird maximized - big gap, preview pane narrow and fixed width    3. Outlook - not maximized 4. Outook maximized - preview pane widened to fit         ... View more

As a regular user of Thunderbird, I receive emails from my bank that contain payment confirmation documents as PDF attachments. Now, to further process each attachment (forward, save, etc.) I need to click on its icon and wait till the preview loads in a separate window. Then I need to close the window, before I can proceed with the processing, remembering its contents first. Proposed Feature I propose a feature that allows for a automatic preview of PDF attachments directly within the email message window, either at the end of the message preview pane, or in a sidebar for wide screens. I guess that this feature should be limited to emails received from trusted senders. For me, a sender can be assumed trusted if they are included in my address book. ... View more

In Chrome, when using the memory tab, we can find leaks very easily by taking a snapshot, doing another task, going back to the original state, and then forcing garbage collection and taking another snapshot. On Firefox, there seems to be no such button, and we are forced to either navigate to about:memory or use an external plugin. Adding a "force garbage collection" button to the memory tab would significantly improve QoL. ... View more

Firefox Text to Speech capability is severely lacking compared to Microsoft Edge. Text to Speech should be moved outside of Reader View. Higher-quality voice offerings than Microsoft Edge should be offered, perhaps AI generated. ... View more

When downloading an AppImage or an ELF binary (e.g. a .run file) and trying to run it from the Downloads drop-down, it shows this dialog box (Linux Mint here, but the dialog box is owned by the Firefox process): However, a .run or AppImage file is an application in itself. Usually, you'd chmod +x it and run the file itself. It doesn't make sense to use another program to run it when the file itself is runnable. There are many ways to fix this issue, including having a pre-set list of "usually runnable" file extensions or detecting ELF headers or shebangs and suggesting chmodding (with proper security notices) then running delegating the resposibility of launching the file to the distro/OS underneath, if it provides such mechanism. Unfortunately, xdg-open doesn't know about .run files for instance. [easiest] when clicking on the downloaded file, start the file manager with the downloaded file highlighted, and let the user continue from there What's for sure is that the above dialog box serves no purpose. ...

Please, add a changelog to the Firefox beta & nightly versions updates on the Android play store, they might not be written as good as the normal updates but just updating and getting some mystery feature or possibly security update is quite annoying and limits feedback. ... View more

You should be able to set any website with a search function as your default search engine like you can in Chrome instead of being confined to the small list of search engines that Firefox provides you. ... View more

Currently, I don't see the "X" button to close a tab when I hover over a tab. I don't see why I should have to select a tab in order to see the "X" button to close it. I also don't want to right click on a tab to get to the context menu to close a tab. I'm pretty savvy with keyboard shortcuts like Cmd+W and Option+Cmd+Left/Right, but if I can have another path to do what I want via trackpad/mouse I will take it. ... View more

Often a reply-all to a thread goes off topic. It's a good idea to change the subject line to indicate that. It can also be useful to send a new message to a group of email addresses by replying-all to a previous email to them and clearing the body. Currently, TBird keeps all of these in the original thread. I propose that changing the subject should start a new thread. This could replace the current behavior, or alternatively be a configuration choice for the user. I support @Flapjack's proposal for more extensive control, and suggest giving it a thumbs-up too. But this would get some of the functionality and be simpler to implement. ... View more

We get S/MIME user certificates for functional addresses (e.g. support@example.com) from a commercial provider that do not contain a Common Name, but just E-Mail in the DN and in the SAN. When rolling over to a new certificate, you have at least two of them in your Mozilla cert-store. If you have several functional addresses configured in your TB, it is impossible to find the correct certificate to change to, without seeing that e-mail-address (for those certificates without a CN). That means your only solution is to click yourself through every valid certificate in your list, until you find the right one. To avoid this senseless task, the table of "your certificates" should also display the e-mail from the SAN. Windows provides a workaround for the same problem in Outlook, by allowing you to set a "display name" for each of your user certificates in certmgr. ... View more

This allows me to keep a browser window on top of all others if I have marked a given tab/window and it is active when the window loses focus. In that drop-down menu, we would have the "Keep on top" option (which should be boolean). This can be useful and make some workflows or work-conditions more efficient and pleasant. ... View more

Adding password protected Firefox containers would be a good idea as the cookies are protected before entering the correct password when accessing a container. However, the Firefox should manage a way to also enable access to the plugins which needs the container access. Maybe a separate section in the settings would be a good idea to enable specific container access to certain plugins which needs them to work as it should.  ... View more

If I receive a file attachment, I would like to transfer it directly to Virustotal.com, either via Thunderbird's API or by right-clicking -> Send to Virustoal. The file could be cached in a "to be examined" folder on the hard drive and then transferred to Virustotal. In principle, everyone could use their own account API key for Virustotal. API reference https://docs.virustotal.com/reference/overview If Process Explorer can send all processes to Virustotal, then you could certainly also send email attachments to Virustotal. ...

I consider myself a Firefox Power User. I have over 8000 bookmarks in hundreds of folders. We need more tools for our Bookmarks Menus and Toolbars. First on my Wish List would be Font options, so a bookmarks font could be Bold, Underlined, Colored, or All of the above. Next would be a better way of editing. For example, being able to use a spreadsheet to edit our menus of Bookmarks to reorganize, sort, find duplicates, apply formatting, etc., using all of the tools a spreadsheet program offers. The more options available to Browser Power Users for managing bookmarks, the more of them will switch to FireFox!!! Thanks! ... View more

EXTENSION: Only one function; Highlight links. Many articles are containing links. Many times the links are difficult to find, pick out, distinguish from standard text. Solution:     Install extension (EXTENSION: Only one function; Highlight links.). Pin to toolbar. Use when results are desired. Imagine how it will function:     Thin clear blue shade over all of the page --- EXCEPT FOR THE PARTS THAT ARE LINKS. MAYBE EVEN SPARKLES OF SILVER AND GOLD FLOATING AROUND INSIDE OF THE SQUARES THAT CONTAIN LINKS. Perhaps that can or could be a settings option with many choices such as (No BS, just says LINK.), (Looks like red glass.), (Arrow traveling across the zone.), (Recommended:     SPARKLES OF SILVER AND GOLD FLOATING AROUND INSIDE OF THE SQUARES THAT CONTAIN LINKS.). ...
