Despite Tab Groups not yet being "rolled out" in Australia, I am wondering if "Container Tabs" will still be Supported (in the following ways):

1. Will Container Tabs still be able to be used effectively in concurrence with Tab Groups? 2. Is it planned that Tab Groups is being developed to replace Container Tabs? 3. If one will be able to use Container Tabs concurrently with Tab Groups, can different Container Tabs Types be split over different Tab Groups? 4. Is it planned that Tab Groups will supersede Container Tabs in terms of Protection, Privacy, etc.....? 5. Will Tab Groups be able to be put to sleep/hibernate in order that Firefox "speed/memory" is not effected?

Whilst on the subject of Tab Groups and Container Tabs: 6. Up until a few updates ago, when the mouse was hovered over a Container Tab, a dialogue box would indicate: the Tab Subject, Site Identity and Container Tab Type. Please bring back the Container Tab Type when the mouse hovers over a Container Tab..! 7. When this (Valuable) information was ceased, the only way to get similar information - namely the Container Tab Type - has been to use the: List all tabs icon {tab icon 2} at the Right hand end of the toolbar. It is a blessing that this was not changed, but still a bit of a nuisance to check them both! Why is this an issue you may well ask? - I am sure I am not the only Firefox user (Forever) - with memory decline!

Thanx

Tried Review Checker when it first came out. Liked it a lot. With the most recent Firefox update, I seem to have lost it. It doesn't come up automatically in Amazon, and I don't see a price tag on an item description page to turn it on. The Firefox Settings describes Review Checker, but I don't see a way to turn it on there, either.

I can't stand the pop-up constantly opening when I am on a new site, asking if I want to translate a page. First, I am proficient in multiple languages; second, I would not want a whole site translated, it messes with the formatting and frankly it isn't useful. I don't want to be forced to swap to Brave after all my years using firefox, but I am so agitated by the dropdown/popup and I cannot find any way to turn it off. Please, how do I disable this permanently?

Are you satisfied with the way it behaves? Do you find the tool awkward to use? Extremely sensitive to movement during capture. Tends to jump around, for lack of a better term. I just tried to copy a portion of a page, and during the in the attempt, it jumped to the bottom of the page, and there was no way to adjust back, so i have to start over.

The other day I wanted to save a full page, but both buttons would only "Save visible". No scroll.

Why is the no option to save in another format? The help article here says you can convert it afterwards.

Hasn't they been enough time to make a few small refinements.

Can you suggest an addon that will do the same jobs better?

Please help me in being able to translate Portuguese files. When I open a .pdf file in FireFox, and try to translate it from portuguese to english, the translate icon in FireFox is greyed out and doesn't work. What do I need to do to fix this?

I am trying to implement the below with fire fox containers however I am not sure how you disable the option to clear cookies per container ?

See below.

I also use this extension in order to have quick access to all of my Google Voice numbers. I created a new container for each Google Voice number I own. I then logged in to the appropriate account for each container and disabled the option to clear my cookies upon exit. Today, I can launch Firefox, select the container titled with the number I want to use, and immediately place or accept a call via my desktop. I can close the browser completely when I am done. I also changed the icon and name to reflect this purpose. This has been most beneficial when I have been on a call with a financial institution and they want to call me back at a specific number which they have on file. Opening the browser and being immediately ready is better than connecting to Google Voice; opening my password manager; inserting my credentials; providing 2FA; accessing the account; allowing my microphone; and accepting the call. My device is encrypted and protected with a strong password in the event it is stolen.

I would like to use a custom provider for the integrated AI sidebar.

My provider is Azure and I do have an endpoint for chat and it requires authentication with API key.

Is it possible to set the API endpoint as provider and provide somehow the API key to Firefox to use it for authentication?

P.S. the API key needs to be provided with the `api-key` header or the `Bearer` token if using OAuth.

Thank you.

I do not understand. I reinstalled my Slimbook OS. After reboot, seems like the user account for linux is created after the reboot. But anyways, I signed in Firefox, got my extensions, passwords, and also my Multi-Account Containers saved containers.

I upgraded system and rebooted and Slimbook OS created a new account. So, I had to login to Firefox again and do the same. But this time, got extensions, passwords but not the Containers. What the heck ?!

What's wrong here ? I really would like my containers back.

Someone please help me.

I think is so nice this idea to put the IA assistance for research and study for college and programming for me. A have a question if is possible add another IA like: Copilot (Microsoft) or Deepseek.

First, thanks for introducing this feature [which is not the same as whole page translation]. It fills the gap created when, years ago, Mozilla disabled a translation plug-in. IMHO it's not ready for prime time, because:

1. When I highlight a word or phrase then r-click and Translate, this feature offers to translate From English, To English. Don't need software to do that. Even if, on same web page, I set source language to Italian, when I try to translate another section, the tool defaults to no-op same language. For many years other translation tools have been fairly good at detecting source language. Do I really have to download languages for ONline translation (as in "Set your language and site translation preferences and manage languages downloaded for offline translation.")? Anyway, without language detection the tool loses much of its value.

2. Even once you make the effort to set source language, the translation is often wrong, sometimes simply repeating the selection.

So, nice idea, yes you say "Beta" but it feels more like "Alpha."

I'm not sure if this is already built-in or if there's a way to add such a custom keybinding. Another translation extension I have used has ctrl-alt-t as a shortcut for toggling it.

Dear all! Since a few weeks, FF on my laptop decided not to further offer the screenshot tool (scissors in box-icon). It still works on my desktop. However, work is 80 % via laptop so I desperately need it back! What to do? Thanks, INGO

Hi 🦊,

I love the new integration with AI chatbots in the Firefox sidebar—such an awesome feature! 🙌

However, I’ve run into an inconvenience: the logins happen in the default browser context, which causes conflicts between different accounts. For example, I use my personal Google account for OpenAI and my company Google account for Gemini, and I don’t want them to share the same context.

It would be amazing if I could assign a container to each chatbot, just like I can when opening a new tab. Even grouping all AI chatbot logins into a dedicated container or context—separate from the generic one—would go a long way toward solving this.

Thanks for the great work and for considering this!
