Reverted to nightly due to missing the tabs and the extra steps to go to open windows is just a painful "hassle", so it's more an accessibility thing due to my chronic challenges in whole of my body. I would've stayed with plain Firefox but the tab function was removed from the "super secret" settings menu.. I also have a hit and miss on default functionality in FF nightly and I tried to find a feature request form so I don't have to fill up support requests but unfortunately I got directed here. I also like to note that in the "choose a category" list there's no feature request option or an option I can choose for default usage, app related, function related, name it. I choose Download and save because one thing has todo with the use of an external downloader (1DM+) and a feature that can be found in every browsed called "Copy text of link".
So FF Nightly constantly asking me which downloader to use. Why? It's clear I like to use an external downloader and it's counterproductive to answer that question with every download I want to do. These both questions seem to be feature request so I will write it in a way I know because past customers needed to do it that way.
Both feature request are mend for FireFox Nightly Android edition due to lack of tab support in the default FF edition loads of people usr.
Feature request 1: Select a default external downloader and fix this choice as default.
What is the scenario and or use case?
In FF and FF Nightly you can enable the use of 3rd party downloaders. After enabling this feature FF asks which downloader to use in the event downloadable content is selected within the browser. In this use case 1DM+ (bought through Google Playstore) is installed and used. This works as expected with a big but.
What do you need or want to have changed and why?
Every time I select downloadable content FF Nightly asks me which downloader to use. In this use case it's 1DM+ and the FF internal downloader that get presented as options. I like to use my 3rd party downloader indefinitely, so not the FF internal downloader, for all my downloads thus making the repeating question, which downloader to use, counterproductive and unnecessary.
The solution lies in "selection functionality" that holds the external downloader as default without questioning what downloader to use after confirming the default downloader.
Feature request 2: Copy link text.
What is the scenario and/or the use case?
FF Nightly hasn't got the option, while long pressing the text of the link, to simply copy plain text used for the link. If the linkaddress is www.abcde12345.abc and the link text is "press here to get to abcde12345" it's "press here to ....." I want to copy. Chromebased browsers have this option, even other browser give me this functionality so it seems to be common functionality that's missing in FF.
What do you need or want to have changed and why?
I need this functionality to give the downloadable file it's logical name because the linktext involves its logical name and the filename of the downloadable file has a totally different naming convention. I paste the copied link text and for example change the filename that's been given to the file from "Bank_123565_XYZ_20251208_1115.pdf" into "Bankstatement AmaWallCost 20251208.pdf". Link texts are in most cases much more logical than generated filenames. FF let me do lots of things with links, images or any other components on the webpage. I can share it, download it, but simply copy the link text is missing. The solution is to add the functionality called "Copy link text" into the menu that pops up when I long press a component, say a link.
Unfortunately it's pretty hard for me to produce screenshots on Android due to accessibility challenges. Therefore I hope my text and requests are as clear as possible. Maybe there are possibilities but all of my questions and the use of tabs have accessibility reasons. It must be apparent why I choose for FF, extensions, privacy. I came back from Brave browser and hoped FF standard had an option to revert back to tabs on screen and not doing 3 or 4 extra steps to get to a certain webpage I've already opened. It really isn't accessibility friendly, that new webpage collection menu with tabs being in an extra list. Swiping from left to right or vice versa doesn't hurts as much as going to top right, look into a list moving up and down and do this every time I need to switch tabs. It's counterproductive as Ibcan arrange most used tabs next to each other to copy info or whatever. Normally it would take some time for me to feel the unnecessary movements but you can get quite busy while parting from a partner.
If there are possibilities, thanks a million for that. If not and these feature need to be assessed and hopefully implemented, thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Marty
