Pitch: at the top of the page, where all tabs are displayed, it should be possible to right click a tab and minimize it. Execution: When minimizing a tab, it turns into a small 1:1 square. When switching to that tab, it truns back normal for the duration you are on it. you can also add an animation, to make it pop or move all minimized tabs together. Background: When working, I open a tab to set a timer. And if I open 5 more tabs, it gets a bit crowded. Minimizing a tab allows for more space for the other tabs, while also hiding the non relevant tabs in the background. Example: Picture this, you start your work session with a timer (like me) and an addtional youtube tab for your 5 hour music mix. On top of that you fire up your favourite zoom meeting and start constructing a moodboard with the team on your online planning platform. through the many tabs, you have to look 2 times, to see where the online planning tab is and where the ones are, that are uninteresting. At the moment, the best way possible is to push everything to the left. But thats still the 4th tab (which is almost in the middle of the screen if you dont have a wide screen monitor). By making tabe minimizable to 1:1, those 3 background tabs would take up less that half a tab. Thx for reading! ... View more

I'm personally a heavy tab user but have always wondered why there is almost no support for tab grouping or customization in the native tab bar in Firefox. I think making it able to group like Google Chrome does for example or at least giving more access for extensions and add-ons would significantly improve the UI in that regard. ... View more

You already added a close button to the "list tabs". It is necessary, now, a close button to the "search tabs" items listed.

From the previous post on Crowdicity: I would like to see vertical tabs baked in. MS Edge now has it out of the box! I currently use addons for this - but there's no way to disable the top tab bar, which duplicates the tabs and takes up space. Vertical tabs (with top bar disabled) would free up more space for web content, which is (usually) vertical. Most screens are widescreen (RIP ThinkPad 4:3 ratios), so the less browser UI at the top/bottom, the more content we can view. The original post received 154 votes and as such was the 3rd highest voted post in the "General" category. ... View more

I like the "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order" setting. Until recently I assumed that would be the default in all browsers, for the same reason Alt-Tab does the same thing with different running programs. (It should always be easiest to switch to things you were recently working on.) But I do not like the thumbnails, I want it to switch between tabs the same way it does when not using this setting. It slows me down to have to squint at thumbnails. So please provide the option to keep the "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order" setting, but switch between tabs as usual instead of showing thumbnails. At least in Linux and Windows, I am not familiar with Mac, it appears to use Command+Option+Right Arrow instead so someone can comment if this makes sense for Mac as well. Thanks for your consideration. ... View more

Idea regardingFirefox   Currently, the behavior of Firefox while in fullscreen means that as you click X on a tab to close it, it hides the navbar and fullscreens your current webpage, requiring you to move your mouse back up to the top of the screen to show the tabs once again and to close another tab. To reproduce this, open a webpage (cannot be the about:newtab, e.g. google.com will suffice) and open many more new tabs, staying in your webpage (in my example, google.com) go fullscreen and click the Xs of the new tabs. Often you'll see your navbar disappear in an annoying manner. A solution would be to make sure that the cursor is outside of the area occupied by the navbar before resuming standard fullscreen and hiding the navbar. ... View more

As the title says. I like the fact that I can completely hide the sidebar, but that also means that I don't really click on the tabs anymore, I use keyboard shortcuts to create new tabs, navigate between tabs, and close tabs. However, in the event that I want to actually see my tabs in the sidebar, I am forced to move my cursor to the sidebar button on the top left, which like breaks my flow. Thus, in my opinion, having a shortcut for showing/hiding the vertical tabs when the "Show and hide sidebar" option is selected could be really useful here. ... View more

Hi team! I've been checking out your browser, and it's got a lot of potential. But there are a couple of things holding it back on Android First off, let's talk about importing and exporting. It's a pain that we can't do this on mobile. Could you please add an HTML-based import/export feature? That'd be a game-changer. Secondly, we need full extension access on Android. Why limit us to a smaller selection? Let's bring the full power of extensions to our phones. By addressing these two points, you can really elevate the Android experience and make Firefox the go-to browser for privacy-conscious mobile users. ... View more

I noticed that vertical tabs is finally coming and am currently using Firefox Nightly. A big thank you first of all for making this happen as it was the biggest blocker to coming back to firefox.

In Firefox Android, I often have multiple tabs open. When I scroll up and down to navigate through the tabs, I sometimes accidentally close a tab. Probably because I was swiping diagonally up. I have a few seconds to click the undo button that pops up. I've never intentionally used this gesture since I click the x button to close a tab. Please add an option to disable the side swipe gesture. ... View more

Firefox isn't with useful tool, which is tabs suspender, it saves of much hardware consume and doesn't allow your PC stay slowness and/or your own internet, because tabs can consume internet and recourses in background without you use it, so that's important and should be in all popular browsers including Firefox. I recommend they base on auto tab discard and possibly performance tool (by Microsoft Edge), because auto tab discard extension is really complete and very useful, mainly it saves where you stop on certain time video and performance tool saves much your recourses on your computer and is very efficient:   ...

Having usability issues with the Compact Tabs due to audio icons The new Compact toolbar is nice as it reduces the vertical occupied space, but I've found myself mentally paused in moments because of the change to how audio playing tabs are visualized now. As you can see, Compact mode replaces the site icon's, which are very strong visual map indicator for my brain when I glance over them. I continue to get tabs "lost" in my mind map because the icon being replaced with the audio/mute one. In "normal" toolbar config this isn't an issue, as it just says on a second line "playing" and only replaces the icon when hovering over the tab. To sum up some of the user experience issues with this for me: The site icon being replaced makes it harder to identify Tabs, i.e. which tab is which site. Hindering my flow. The audio/mute icon don't stand out as a Tab playing audio. In part due to it replacing the site icon, so I can easily confuse it as just a another website icon. Side issue: The mute and unmuted icons are hard to distinguish. So the above issue doesn't just impact audio playing tabs, but any tab I have muted. What have I done at the moment? I could use the regular toolbar instead of compact, but I prefer the smaller sizing of compact! So after some searching I stumbled on this. I used userChrome.css code I found on Reddit in a comment by user loxia_01 https://www.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS/comments/1gfjh5y/comment/lujfvom/ .tab-icon-stack[indicator-replaces-favicon] { grid-template-areas: "a s"; & > :is(.tab-icon-image, .tab-icon-overlay) { opacity: 1 !important; } & > .tab-icon-overlay { grid-area: s; border: none !important; background-size: 100% !important; background-color: transparent !important; fill: color-mix(in srgb, currentcolor 75%, transparent) !important; &:hover { background-color: color-mix(in srgb, currentcolor 15%, transparent) !important; fill: color-mix(in srgb, currentcolor 95%, transparent) !important; } } } My idea? Make this a native change of Firefox compact toolbar. Replacing the icon I think just sacrifices too much. Either have it as an option, or separate the icons. Either next to the site icon or left of the X close tab. Just not as the default I'd say. ... View more

Currently, on macOS, when you reach the top of the screen with a browser opened in a full window, the top bar with three window buttons ("Close Window", "Collapse Window" and "Exit Full Screen") drops down and the browser's top bar (with tabs, URL, bookmarks, etc.) shifts. This can become very annoying very quickly. Chrome has implemented an elegant solution by moving the tabs to the left to create space for these three window buttons. Now, nothing shifts when you reach the top of the screen (of main screen with the notch), and this extra space is so small that it isn't nearly as annoying as the shifting. Please 🙂 ... View more
