I really like the built-in Task Manager in Chromium based browsers (Chrome/Edge/Vivaldi): In Firefox, we have about:performance but it has some shortcomings: Not easily discoverable (Chromium has a keyboard shortcut and a menu item) Columns do not sort continuously FF uses Energy Impact while Chromium shows CPU (although this may not be a big deal) Chromium includes Network column 😍 Would love to see this kind of functionality in Firefox! ...

When a message is deleted, Thunderbird automatically selects another message from the list and opens it in the preview panel. That's super annoying because it will eventually mark the other message as read even though I wasn't intending to read it now. It might also fetch remote images (if enabled) or have other consequences. There was an extension for this long ago, but since most extensions broke with a previous Thunderbird update, there's currently no way to do it. For this and other reasons (removed several features) I'm still using the old version 60. This is really a trivial fix and there shouldn't be an extension needed for it, that will eventually break again like all extensions did at some point. PS: The combination of terms "delete" and "deselect" is impossible to search on this platform. Only the term "delete" is considered by search. ... View more

Hello, For certain reasons I would like to periodically save my emails as a file. However, if these files are already in the target folder, I get into a loop that asks me individually for each file whether it should be saved or not - if there are 100 pieces, for example, then good night. Can the option "Answer applies to all following" be installed please? Best regards Achim Hallo, aus bestimmten Gründen möchte ich zycklisch meine Emails als Datei speichern. wenn sich allerdings diese Dateien schon im Zielordner befinden, gelange ich in eine Schleife die mich zu jeder Datei einzeln fragt, ob sie gespeichert werden soll oder nicht - wenn das zum Beispiel 100 Stück sind, dann Gute Nacht. Kann da bitte die Option "Antwort gilt für alle nachfolgenden" eingebaut werden? Viele Grüße Achim ... View more

Hi there devs, So, I've been getting these pop-ups when I start firefox for the first time, asking me if I want to start up a firefox browser window when windows starts up. (After powering up my computer) Personally, I don't like when applications start up in the beginning. I like to open them when I need them. So, when there isn't an option to basically say "not ever", basically shutting down the question being asked daily right at the moment, it is a little irritating. Not seeing that option in settings. Is it something that you all put together? (If so, can you give me the option to turn the suggestion off) Or is it something that Windows thinks that I want somehow? And putting the pop-up at the top of the firefox window itself... somehow? Thanks for your time and effort. ... View more

For MANY VERSIONS OF Firefox now I have wished I could click on the TAB scrolling arrow at each end of the open tabs and have it scroll directly to each beginning+ end of the open tabs instead of holding down the arrow to scroll slowly to each end. I keep many tabs open in order to work efficiently without constantly having to open new tabs,then close 'em when done.  I wish i could click the left arrow+ be taken to the beginning of the open tabs, click the right arrow and be taken to the end of the open tabs. ...

One useful feature in Firefox would be for us to disable the link preview in the lower left corner. Often when watching videos in full screen I will often see a link preview in the lower left corner which can be very annoying as I have to exit out of fullscreen and click on something else and then enter full screen again. ...

Hello, this is a sort of followup or addition this post Add option to update and keep profile After posting, I continued searching for a good way to handle the situation when a user encounters a workstation with a Firefox installation that is older than the user's profile. I found the firefox --backgroundtask backgroundupdate command, and while it looked promising to run from a script as a part of a user logon procedure, it fell on the reason that the a default user profile needs to exist, AND that profile needs to match the current installed version (XULRunner says: "This profile was last used with a newer version of this application. Please create a new profile"). This is most unfortunate. Since the standard installer for the latest version obviously can install on top of an earlier version without this restriction, and a user then successfully can copy whatever version profile they happen to have to the system, run Firefox and use that profile, I don't really see why the updater would have such a strict requirement. A flag to run the update command much like a regular installation would be very appreciated, or maybe the installation should trigger a creation of a temporary new user profile and then switch back to the original after a successful update? Of course, it would be possible to write a script that downloads and runs the latest installer manually, but using a built in function would be more... feelgood! Best regards Alexander ... View more

I am happy to be returning to Firefox after a few years away in Google Chrome wasteland. Happy to see that the firefox new tab page has options such as number of lines of shortcuts etc. Somewhat happy to see the Pocket stories on the new tab page - my not being aware that Mozilla Corporation had acquired Pocket gives an idea of how long I had been away. But I was unhappy to see how much space was "wasted" by the Pocket "Thought-Provoking Stories"... don't get me wrong, I know how to disable the Pocket stories. But I don't necessarily want to disable the Pocket stories. And I imagine that Mozilla  would prefer that I not disable the Pocket stories, because there is at least some possibility of Mozilla earning some money from sponsored stories, etc.. However, the Pocket stories occupied one heck of a lot of space between my shortcuts and the recent activity items. And I need to access both shortcuts and recent activity a lot more often than I need to access the Pocket stories. Ultimately I ended up disabling the Pocket stories. But if there were no option to place the Pocket stories at the end of the list of New Tab Page items, I would have used that. I suspect that would have been better for me, and probably also for Mozilla cash flow. In more detail: as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-your-new-tab-page and edited via about:preferences#home - Firefox Home Content the new tab page or firefox homepage has several items that can be enabled or disabled Web Search Shortcuts Weather Recommended stories Recent activity These can be enabled or disabled individually. The number of rows dedicated to shortcuts and recent activity can be changed. But the order of these items is fixed and not changeable (unless there's an extension that I haven't found yet that does that). I would like to be able to change the order to Web Search Recent activity (1 row) Shortcuts (2 rows) Recommended stories Weather <-- for me, probably disabled Because, while I don't find the Pocket recommended stories excessively obnoxious or offensive, and I would like to give Mozilla the benefit of me clicking on sponsored links since once in a while I find them interesting, they do get in the way of me being efficient. Lacking this, at the moment I have just disabled them. Too bad,  a possible loss of income for Mozilla from sponsored links. I agree that you probably don't want to allow arbitrary reordering: if somebody accidentally moved the Web Search to the bottom, you would probably get tech support requests. But reordering the others is probably reasonable. Note also: myself I prefer to have Recent activity closer to the top than Shortcuts. That's another reordering. Emphasizing that just putting the stories at the end is the sort of stupid thing that Google Chrome A/B testing might end up providing. BTW: I am adding the "Accessibility" idea label this, because I am a user of accessibility software (speech recognition Dragon or WSR), which might very well be 1 of the reasons why I want the ability to do this sort of reordering. If I were typing or mousing it would be literally painful (yes, literally, causing pain to my bad hand/shoulder) to have to scroll past the Pocket stories to the recent activity.  And while speech recognition helps - essentially I cannot use Firefox without it - it is nevertheless slower to have to skip past a lot stuff. Overall I find that accessibility users are even more interested in an efficient user interface, with stuff arranged in an efficient way, because accessibility software almost in that variably reduces speed.                 ...

When I start TB it takes a very long time for my several calendars to be populated. I have to wait for several minutes before I can see my events for today and the rest of the week/month. This is very annoying when I am in a hurry to know if I should be doing something asap. A work around this problem would be to start with populating all the calendars for this and next month first. Chances are that users will not be in a hurry to find out about events in the past, and they will probably not even realise it takes so long for the process to be completed. ... View more

In an effort to keep safe, I find myself frequently going back through [Manage Data] & manually deleting all of the cookies I know I don't want to keep, but keeping the ones I do need, or consider "safe" (or "necessary"), so I don't have to keep login-in into these sites & keep the data needed from them to continue working smoothly (from session to session). If there was a [button-1], on [Manage Data], to say "remember these cookies" or basically, your "necessary set", you could then, with the click of another [button-2] delete all of the unnecessary cookies, blindly, whether you know what they are or not, that are not part of your "necessary set" - I manually do this all of the time. If we could automate this, that would be awesome. [button-1] could be called [Remember Safe (or Necessary) Cookies] & [button-2] could be called [Delete Unsafe (or Unnecessary) Cookies] - a definite "time saver". ... View more

A very large loophole exists in the spam filtering, whereby a user on google mail for example can send an email to you via "drive-shares-dm-noreply@google.com" and that email arrives with their own address as the "reply to" address ... BUT IF I were to say that email is junk, it is going to label the google . com email as junk, and I have no ability to isolate the reply-to address as junk, which is the only one of the two I want to label as junk ... so this needs fixing, and it makes me think that it would be a fair bet to think if this loophole exists, there is probably something similar going on with group emails and cc/bcc fields ... something to look into for sure ...

Out of most important domains and services run by Mozilla, only a few have IPv6 support active with announced AAAA DNS entries. These that do support IPv6 are: developer.mozilla.org foundation.mozilla.org donate.mozilla.org firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org archive.mozilla.org (CDN) thunderbird.net But these are legacy IPv4-only: mozilla.org relay.firefox.com firefox.com fpn.firefox.com monitor.firefox.com support.mozilla.org getpocket.com blog.mozilla.org bugzilla.mozilla.org hacks.mozilla.org mozilla.design download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net (CDN) wiki.mozilla.org discourse.mozilla.org connect.mozilla.org accounts.firefox.com basket.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org As you probably noticed, this list is considerably longer, contains some of the most important domains and these are just the ones I were able to find by following a few links on the main mozilla.org home page. There's probably a lot more, including underlying API domains that browsers and services make calls to. Please, for the sake of better internet, enable IPv6 support at least on most important, highest traffic domains and APIs your services use. ... View more
