Hello all, as the Folders panel was short of space, I just decided to get rid of the folders 'Sent', 'Draft', 'Archive', 'Notes', etc ... that clutter the space : to do this I checked as 'Favorite' each of the folders that I wanted to keep on display, and in the "Modes" menu, I unchecked "All folders", and checked instead "Favorites folders". Great ! I was really happy with the result 😎, ... but I got the disappointment at the moment I wanted to open one of the folders to access the content of the sub-folders : there was no sub-folder and no way to access the sub-folders 😭 I am probably supposed to check as favorite every and each sub-folder also, but this is beyond my reach, as I have plenty of them ! This is why I share this suggestion : upon checking as favorite a folder, consider all its sub-folders also as favorites Lucien ... View more

The new extension are a great addition to an already really cool service. And really you already had me at the Firefox container integration. And. I can live without port-forwarding I can live without a Linux CLI-tool But I really can't subscribe before you allow generating Wireguard configs that I can download and use. Its genuinely the last feature missing that would be expected of a VPN provider.  Please I'm begging you I really wanna give you my money. ... View more

Apple computers and devices extend the use of IMAP flags (normally just set or unset) to support 7 different colours of flags, using a proprietary modification of IMAP and binary 000 -> 111 settings.  This implementation is backwards compatible with non-Apple devices in that setting any colour of apple flag will just show as flagged on a non-apple device, and setting the single flag colour on a non-Apple device will just set a red colour flag on Apple.   I think it would be relatively simple to support this standard.  Microsoft Exchange/365 also has multi-coloured flags using its own proprietary standard which I expect you already support.  ...

A feature that allows you to add whatever you want to the new sidebar. The possibilities are endless - you could even have apps like calendar, notes, weather sort of like Vivaldi, or a second place to display bookmarks of your choice.  I think the "app idea" is the most useful though - so you can just click right on an icon and bring up an "app" instead of visiting the website. you can maybe add your own apps but then there are also a few "built in apps" with their own custom loading animation and everything, for the same seamless experience you get when opening an app on a smartphone. Just an idea I think would be cool and useful! ... View more

💡 Idea: Add a smart reply feature to Thunderbird that suggests automatic responses based on the content of the received email, with fully customizable templates depending on the context (work, personal, support, etc.). 🧠 How it works: When an email is opened, Thunderbird analyzes its content locally (privacy-respecting). It then suggests 2–3 pre-written replies that the user can send with a single click. Users can create and manage their own templates with simple rules, for example: If the sender is in the “work” group, suggest: "Thanks for your message, I’ll get back to you later today." If the email contains the keyword “invoice,” suggest: "Thanks for sending this over, I've received it." 🛠️ Additional Features: A template editor with condition-based logic (sender, keywords, priority, etc.). Smart variable insertion (e.g., contact’s name, date, subject…). Works across multiple accounts. Optional auto-reply with user confirmation. ✅ Benefits: Huge time-saver for professionals, nonprofits, and heavy email users. Reduces inbox anxiety and helps process routine emails faster. Especially helpful for users with writing or typing difficulties. 🔐 Privacy: All processing would happen locally, with no data sent externally — fully aligned with Thunderbird’s privacy-first philosophy. ...

💡 Idea: Improve Thunderbird’s signature system by allowing multiple, context-aware signatures per account — automatically selected based on rules or email context. 🧠 How it works: Let users create multiple signatures for each account. Add rules/conditions to apply the right signature automatically: Based on recipient domain (e.g., @company.com) Based on keywords in subject or body Based on time or day of the week Based on folder or tag (e.g., replies from a "Support" folder use a support signature) Support dynamic variables inside signatures: {{FirstName}}, {{LastName}} of recipient Current date/time Conditional phrases (e.g., “Available until 6 PM” or “On vacation until April 4”) ✅ Benefits: Great for users who manage multiple roles, clients, or identities (e.g., freelance, personal, business). Saves time and ensures more consistent and professional communication. Useful for teams needing legal disclaimers, branded footers, or different languages. 📦 Bonus features (optional but useful): Shared signature templates across accounts or teams. Cloud sync for signatures (optional). Preview signature before sending. 🔐 Privacy-friendly: All logic should run locally, with no data sent to external servers — fully aligned with Thunderbird’s privacy-first philosophy. ... View more

💡 Idea: Add a Productivity Dashboard to Thunderbird that helps users better understand and manage their email habits through smart stats and actionable insights. 🧠 How it works: This dashboard would provide a clear overview of how you interact with your inbox over time. Example features could include: ⏱️ Time spent reading and replying to emails per day/week. 📥 Average response time to incoming emails. ⏳ Unreplied emails tracker (e.g., highlight emails that haven’t been answered after X days). 🔁 Reply rate: How often you respond to certain contacts or types of emails. 🧹 Suggestions to clean up or archive low-priority threads. All analytics would be shown in a clean, visual format, with graphs, trends, and filters (per contact, label, folder…). 🛠️ Optional Features: Custom goals (e.g., “Reply to all work emails within 24h”). Focus score or inbox stress level indicator. Email batching reminders (“You replied to 20 emails — take a break!”). Exportable reports (CSV, PDF). ✅ Benefits: Helps users build better email habits and avoid burnout. Encourages timely replies and declutters inboxes. Great for professionals, support teams, or anyone with a high volume of email. Can support mental well-being by preventing overload. 🔐 Privacy: All tracking would be done locally, with zero data sharing. No behavioral data is sent anywhere — everything stays on the user’s device. ... View more

I find myself wanting to take notes in Websites. However I don´t want to create a pdf and scribble in them, but ideally I´d like to take notes in a Websites (sticky notes for example) and have them reapear when I visit the Website again. --> Firefox  would store my notes and try to display them again on the Website once it´s reloaded. --> Not exact locations but context or rough location on scrollbar would be super good enough. ...

On Firefox mobile I frequently open articles in new tabs. Quite often, the "switch" bar will obscure other page content (for example, the "next page" button on my RSS feed reader).

I also want to throw my hat into the ring. There are some things that Chrome does better than Firefox, and I will list one area where Firefox could improve in future releases. Browser History Page Mozilla should seriously consider adding this feature to Firefox because it directly addresses a significant gap in user experience. Users today expect a browser that not only protects their privacy but also offers them the tools they need to navigate their online activities effectively. Why isn't there an about:history in Firefox yet? Implementing a detailed history page that opens in a new tab, similar to Chrome, would empower users to easily track their browsing habits over time. This isn't just about convenience; it's about giving users the ability to find important information from weeks, months, or even years ago. Limiting history to just 7 days feels outdated and restrictive, especially when users often need to revisit older content for work, research, or personal reasons. Adding this feature would significantly enhance user satisfaction and loyalty, making Firefox a more appealing choice for those who value both privacy and functionality. ... View more
