new things that a modern 2025 firefox needs

Start Firefox, open four tabs, separate them into four, and place them in a specific position on one of the monitors, all separately. How can I ensure that the next time I restart the system, when I start that Firefox profile, they all open in that position and separated? Artificial intelligence says that it would be impossible for Firefox to do something like this, as its native problem does not allow it to do so.

For now, I have set up a macro to do it automatically, but that takes time. I would like it to happen automatically when I start up.

Another thing, it would be nice if Firefox allowed you to zoom in on a specific area of the screen, and then be able to minimize the screen manually as much as possible, leaving only the zoomed-in part visible. Unfortunately, I've been doing this through inspect and deleting things on the page, but it would be great if they added it.

On the first one, I'm not aware of any built-in feature to move a window to a different desktop. That sounds like something which would be the first step to making it automatic, or at least available to add-ons. (Chrome extensions can use the "system.display" API to query information on display sizes, but for Firefox, an extension would need to be trained by the user to understand the size/order of the attached displays.)

On the second one, Firefox has a Reader view which simplifies recognized types of page layouts. It sounds like there should be a more general version of that which lets you choose the section you want focused rather than trying to apply a predefined playbook. There might be an add-on for it?

Mozilla has a product suggestion site at https://connect.mozilla.org/. If you have time, I think it would be a good idea to post these two requests there (in separate threads) to get into the current feedback stream. Use the "Ideas" section of the site (at https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/idb-p/ideas).
