To highlight text it would be convenient to be able to select text then tap the highlighter tool. In other words, when text is selected, tapping the highlighter tool would simply highlight any selected text rather than activating the highlighter tool. As an aside, I have been having difficulties highlighting on touchscreen recently but there are already posts about that. ... View more

I am a new user currently in the process of switching my browser from Opera ONE to Firefox. I love the features that Opera offers, but the performance optimization with a large number of tabs, as well as the overwhelming number of bugs causing things like tab flickering or even the entire window flashing, is frustrating, and I’ve had enough. Therefore, adding the AI chat functionality to the sidebar is a great step, but it has a serious flaw. Namely, when we deselect a given icon on the sidebar, the page it opened unfortunately closes its session and starts a new one... I understand that implementing something different could cause some performance issues, but keeping the session of an opened tab alive (even for 10-15 minutes) would be a great solution. Currently, even if we write our own WebExtension for Messenger, Instagram, Facebook, Discord, etc., switching from one platform to another requires reloading the page. So, even in a situation where we had Messenger open for a few minutes and switch to Instagram for a moment, the entire page reloads, and when we go back to Messenger, we have to reload the page again and reselect the conversation. Additionally, this also affects notifications, which cannot be forcefully enabled. In the case of social media, it would be extremely useful to have them always on (meaning enabling persistent notifications in the background for tabs opened in the sidebar). This issue also applies to ChatGPT (and likely other chatbots), which, after temporarily closing the window to free up space or reply to someone on Messenger or Instagram, opens a new conversation with the bot. This is quite frustrating. If there’s any way to work around this, I’d be happy to try it. Additionally, if forum participants are interested, I will try to share my very simple extensions to provide at least partial functionality similar to what can be experienced in Opera or Vivaldi on mozilla extensions store at least until Mozilla releases official support for social media. Of course, I will only do this after reading about the legal requirements, as I currently don’t have much time for that. ... View more

Currently I'm doing research on a heap of products, and collating into an online spreadsheet. I'm wearing out the Ctrl+Tab keys flicking back and forth, copying/pasting etc! It would be awesome to "pop-out" a tab and have it "float" on top like what Picture-in-Picture does. I know you can the tab in a new window, resize it, move it etc but it still doesn't stick on-top and has borders that take up space. I've seen extensions that try to do split screen for tabs but they don't seem to work very well. Thanks! ... View more

I use the "generate password" function on a web page with one click all the time - it's very easy and convenient. But it is not uncommon for me to have to manually add passwords in advance. And that's where the convenience is lost, because I have to open a third-party password generator. One button of the generator, to the right of the password field in the add record window, would make life much easier. ... View more

This mostly makes mostsense when the feature to have multiple levels of folders have been implemented. When we have mutiple levels it makes more sense to use the upper folder settings for the default. in an structure like this: Archive/ - 2024/ - - mozilla - 2025/ - - mozilla/ it would be nice to set the visibility of Archive/2024 to off without needing to change the visibility of Archive/2024/mozilla. ...

The one killer feature Safari on a Mac has that keeps me from fully embracing Firefox is its integration with Messages for two factor security codes sent via text. In Safari, you don't have to jump over to Messages to copy and comeback to paste the code into the field. A box drops down under the field you can click on to autofill the code right there on the webpage. Does Firefox have this ability somewhere or are there plans to add it soon? I seem to have read that Apple allows third party apps to add this integration since Big Sur. ... View more

It would be great to have a new option setting that Thunderbird for Android (K-9) start every time with an email account overview and the count of unread emails. By clicking one of the accounts it should close the overview and open the email account that was clicked. By swiping back the account overview should come back. So another email account could be clicked. Why this would be great: If you have a lot of email accounts actually you first start with one email account open, then you have to open the sidebar by clicking hamburger menu button, than to click another account and after that you have to close account overview sidebar and now you be able to repeat with next account... this is very time consuming. Long time ago K-9 had this and for a lot of people this was a very unique and helpful feature to choose K-9 out of other Android email apps. To bring bring this back as an optional behaviour of thunderbird would make a lot of people happy for sure. ... View more

There are many Email Service Providers (hosted service) are looking for multi-factor or password less authentication using Oauth2.  However Thunderbird OAuth2 is limited to few known OAuth2 providers like Gmail or Outlook. There is lot of demand for security feature (MFA) due to increasing fishing attack and loosing customers to bigs sharks like Gmail and Outlook. As I understand TB is promoting K9-Thunferbird for Android and iOS will be there soon. If you like end users to adopt open source clients I feel OAuth2 support must without which there is no competition with Gmail or Outlook. ... View more

I've been using Nine email on Android devices for a few years now but would like to move to Thunderbird as this is also my Windows PC email client. The presentation of emails in the Inbox in Nine is 'cleaner' in my opinion, with the sender on the first line, the subject on the second line, and then subsequent line(s) containing the email contents. I'm not so keen on the Thunderbird approach of attaching the email contents to the subject and simply separating them with a hyphen as I find it harder to read. I've attached examples from Nine and Thunderbird to show what I mean - Nine is at the top and Tunderbird underneath. It would be great (for me anyway) if there was an option/setting to have the subject and contents presented on separate lines as Nine does. Thanks. ... View more

It would be very helpful to have an option to include subfolders when selecting folders to search in Thunderbird. For example, when searching for messages in an archive folder that preserves folder structure and is organized by year or by month, the archive folder will have potentially dozens of subfolders. It's fairly cumbersome to have to expand all of those subfolders to be able to select everything individually. Much easier to be able to simply select the top folder (e.g. the archive folder) and check an option to include subfolders in the search. ... View more

I know from reading updates and FAQ that team Thunderbird has no intention (currently) of supporting the RSS function in the mobile app. However, as someone whose most used section of TB desktop is RSS, I would like a way to sync my thunderbird feeds to mobile. Ideally, a way to import them to an existing mobile RSS reader with full synchronization across desktop and mobile. Would also love having a dedicated thunderbird RSS mobile app in the future. ...

Currently, when dragging a tab in Firefox to detach it from the main window, the new window is only created and shown once you release the mouse button. I think that having the option to make it work like in chromium browsers(this being, so as soon as you begin dragging a tab, a live floating window with that tab should immediately appear) would be pretty usefull. Comparison:   Benefits: Improved Usability: A live preview would make it easier to move tabs between windows or to a different position, as you could see in real time where the new window will appear. Would allow users to drop the tab exactly where they want it, especially useful in multi-monitor or workspace setups. Better experience: With immediate visual feedback, organizing your workspace becomes smoother. Proposal: Basically an option somewhere like in about:settings where you could choose between the current behavior and the one proposed. PD: I've been looking but only thing i've found similar to this was this post from @Llanfair : https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/chrome-style-tab-tearing/idi-p/6556 And it seems like some people didn't get idea a other noted that maybe it was a bug?But I haven't found any bug reports about it either.

I would like one! From the inbox view, when I select multiple messages, the top bar presents me with the option to "Mark as read" or to "Archive" all the selected messages in one fell swoop. The option to "Move to folder" is not presented. In fact, the only way I've discovered to file a message from the inbox view is to configure a swipe action (for example, "Left swipe") to do so. However, this swipe action *only* affects the message immediately under my thumb - it does not account for any prior selections, and therefore cannot be used to move more than one message. ...
