The week around 3/15/22 has been full of minor changes which require updates. Every time an update is installed I have to re-verify my credentials on certain websites which notice the new version of the browser.  I think Firefox is an outstanding product and thank you very much for all your hard work! ...

I'm trying to send you an email using Thunderbird but can't find a way to do it from a draft.  You need to hire someone smart for a change.  Like needing to know the current password to RESET MASTER PASSWORD!!!  Who's designing your stuff?  Even when I'm not using the Thunderbird program it prompts me for my Thunderbird Master Password.   WTH? ...

I use multiple monitors in different configurations on a Windows 10 laptop. If Firefox was last started on a monitor that is not present now, it will still open in that location and will not be accessible. In order to get to firefox, I have to use the taskbar to show the preview and then right-click and select move. Then press an arrow key to get the cursor with the window attached to it to show up on the main display. At that point I am able to drag it around and put in a usable section of the monitors. I would like Firefox to check if the coordinates it is opening at is within the desktop constraints and move to something close if not. ... View more

I use Firefox 98.0 on a Windows 10 laptop. I enjoy the print preview on Internet Explorer 11. I can easily see the flow from page to page. After [alt]F, V I can select [alt]w for full width of screen, [alt]1 for one page, [alt]2 for two pages, [alt]3 for three pages, [alt]6 for six pages, and [alt]0 for 12 pages. I use this frequently, but will have to stop in June 2022, when IE11 is disabled. ... View more

Search led me to the wrong place, and my query there for a better place did not produce an answer, but only an unending stream of irrelevant notifications. Just spent a long time trying to turn off the subscription for the topic, but can't find out how. Please make it stop. So far all of my attempts to use this system have similarly led nowhere. I'd like to see Mozilla survive, even thrive and flourish, but this seems to be a funny way to run a business model. Perhaps the root of the problem is that my own motivations are funny? On the negative and dark side? I mostly just want the freedom not to use a browser controlled by an evil corporate cancer such as Microsoft or the google. The overlap between my motivations and Mozilla's seems to be shrinking pretty steadily. ... View more

I really liked the Bookmark window, but you've seemed to take that away.  The new bookmark process seems to lack the ability to sort it.   The bookmark icons on the home page keep getting populated by advertisers of your choosing despite my efforts to "dismiss" them.   Despite being a longtime supporter of Firefox, perhaps it is time to find a more acceptable browser. ...

In the past hitting ESC caused Firefox to halt all functions.  It was very useful in situations where lag/poor site design caused clicks to perform unwanted actions.  It was also VERY useful when malicious sites start to flood the user with unwanted media, etc. Now, for some reason, if you click on something, ESC has no effect and the page continues to load no matter what.  It is almost as if ESC no longer interrupts the processes, but gets queued along with all the other actions being sent from the website. Please fix this. ... View more

if i am on a site, i should be able to open/create a text file linked to it, so i could put notes about the site, like "charges too much shipping"  "This is where i got the great kale seeds"  you could use whatever editor you have loaded anyway.  being able to pick one would be a nice bell/whistle.  files would be where the user said, like docs/firefox-notes/ and named like: http//somewebsite.com becomes somewebsite.firefox.note ...

Main page icons (frequently accessed) have been replaced with boxes just containing capital letters. The new icons are not as easily recognisable as the icons normally associated with websites. Some don't reflect the name of the website at all. For example my bank's name starts with the letter T, but its web address starts with I. There's a reason websites choose icons - it's so they're easily recognised. Would love it if Mozilla could at least make those website icons available again, at least as an option. ... View more

Firefox has a very nifty feature which allows user to create a custom search engine form any link that consists of a query. User just needs to bookmark any search result page and replace one of the query parts with "%s" and give that bookmark a keyword. For example, if I bookmark "https://www.google.com/search?q=Firefox", but replace "Firefox" with "%s" and set its keyword to "/g", I can type "/g cat" to search for "cat" in Google. This feature is extremely helpful for anyone that is working with websites that did not create their search plugins. I think that this feature needs more attention and ability to create bookmarks with multiple variables instead of only %s. This could be done by allowing user to create multiple variables in a more complex http queries and add multiple keywords for a bookmark. This could work as below. User bookmarks url: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?q=test&advanced=true&collapse_discussion=true&search_type=thread&search_page_size=30. User replaces "test" and "30" with "%s" and "%s0". User sets keywords for said bookmark: 'moz; -p; and saves. If user types in the address bar: 'moz test -p 30 it will generate the same url as in point 1. There should be a limit to the number of variables per bookmark, but it should be set to 5 and editable by about:config. In case of using more variables, they would be represented in the url as: %s, %s0, %s1, %s2, and so on.   ... View more

Font: There are many of us out there who wish that the Body/Paragraph of an Email can be formatted in the same Font. Example: I choose Tahoma. However, when I click on Bullets, or otherwise alter an Email, it turns into different/mixed Fonts rather than keeping the Font all in Tahoma. This is aggravating as can be.   Resend Email: There are many of us out there who wish that there was an automatic "Resend" option, rather than having to "Edit as new" and send out again. ...
