Status: New idea

Firefox has reading list in IOS version but not in desktop version so where the reading list goes when I sync my devices ?, please add reading list to desktop version to access offline to websites without using pocket, like chrome 😐

+1 for this addition. The Reading List is implemented terribly in Chromium and similar browsers, but Safari actually got it right!

I find a lot of useful stuff when wasting my time on the internet. I feel that a simple feature such as adding a second source of synced bookmarks wouldn't be too hard. Really, that's all a reading list is!

Better yet? Just give Firefox account users optional Pocket sync through an integrated account menu.

I made a quick mock-up of how it may look. As it turns out, I really like it!

I find silly this is marked as "New idea" for a feature that was already there and later removed for no apparent reason. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Reading_list and https://www.trishtech.com/2015/05/access-reading-list-in-firefox-for-desktop/

This constant inconsistency between mobile and desktop experience in Firefox makes it very difficult to stick to it and the overall platform ("hey we sync everything via your Firefox account, but certain things you can only actually do on iOS and other things you can only do on desktop!)🤦‍♂️

I love using FireFox, but I find that I keep going back to Safari on my desk top because FireFox doesn't have a reading list.

I already returned to Safari as my main browser, I keep this for some extensions that I use occasionally. but the reading list is definitely essential for me.

Looking forward to this!

I wonder why there is not "feature parity" between operating systems; if this feature is on iOS, why keep it there only?

Also, don't wanna use Pocket (why did mozilla buy them? seems waste of $ to me, sry)

Reading list and more tools.

This is simple, just copy the Chrome things. 😊

Just switched to Firefox Developer Edition (great work!) and found out that there was no reading list that syncs, so I am back in Chrome again.

One more thing that theeds to be added that I miss in FDE, in Chrome you can get help on finding the right syntax. Like if I know there is a 'justify-items: center;' and I just can't remember the justify, i can simply type center and then get a long list of options.

This should really be implemented. I just switched to Firefox from Chrome and I've been loving. The only thing that I've thought isn't great is not having a normal reading list that syncs across devices, like Chrome does. I know Pocket is the alternative, but I simply don't like it. Pleaseeeeee add this feature to Firefox, it would be so much better.

This thread has been going since 2022 and yet no reading list for FF desktop. I guess it's time to go back to Chrome which is a horrible solution.

I was very confused to find that the reading list does not sync from ios to my other firefoxes.

Jumped to Firefox a couple of days ago and thinking of switching back to chrome just to have this feature.

yes we really need this feature. Firefox integration between devices feels inconsistent and broken with small things/features like this. Most of the major browsers have this feature. Why cant desktop version have a reading list like the one in mobile app. Dont want to use pocket
