Is there an option in settings to force FireFox to stay in the locqtion within thehboomark tree? Currently when I select a bookmark after I selected a bookmark in the bookmark tree, I have sto start from the tree root. But I structured my tree according to similar topics, so I need sometimes a location in the bookmark tree quiet similar to the previously selected bookmark. It would be helpful If FireFox would remember the previosly selected location.

Desktop mode works fine, once you enable it. But if you leave the window, close the tab or let the tab suspend it defaults back to the mobile version which gets annoying fast. With that said, a feature that allows firefox to load the tab in desktop mode persistently when toggled should be implemented. Even better on a per site basis instead of globally.

I've seen several posts that ask for the same thing as this one. These go as far back as 2020 which makes me feel like they've completely forgotten about or dropped adding this feature.

And yes I've tried looking for addons to do this but I got nothing.

Send to device doesn't show device name if browser name is too long

I have 2 laptops, where I installed Firefox Developer Edition, and I have the same account both in the OSes and in the browsers.

I cannot distinguish between 2 Send to device options as the option name is so long it gets cut off (see attachment, PC account name photoshopped out, but it's very short: 6 characters)

How can I make the team at Firefox be made aware of this so that it can be fixed?

I've used Tor Browser (Firefox kernel), and the "add-ons" in that browser say "add-ons may damage the browser". Does Firefox have any safety measures for add-ons (such as running them in quarantine so that they don't damage the browser itself or other add-ons).

How to open bookmarks in current tab

So a couple days ago I got Firefox for android and looks great but. But after some time I had over 50 tabs open. I have a few bookmarks that I use frequently. So it's very easy to tab the address bar and select the bookmark that I want, browse and then rinse and repeat. The problem that I have with Firefox is that my bookmarks always open in a new tab instead of the current one.

I can't seem to find the right setting and browsing for about:config also doesn't seem to do anything.

Does anyone have some tips?

Thanks in advanced

Hello,

It seems you can sync a lot of things between devices.

However, COLLECTIONS can not be synced? One of the most interesting newer features on Firefox. Collections are way more easy to use than the old bookmarks and a real game changer on another Browser.

Will Mozilla be able to get this working? I really want to keep using Firefox for its excellent privacy features and independence!

Thanks for your help and feedback!

Hi,

Thanks for your great privacy-focused browser.

Could you add the option to disable built-in root CA? It would be helpful for us to minimize the risk of MitM attack and other security or privacy threats.

Not all CAs are trustworthy. Some are mismanaged like DigiNotar while some others are malicious like StartCom which was used to perform MitM to intercept communications to Google. However, it would be too late when such events are discovered unless we provide a way to prevent it.

As I know, there are still some CAs out there pose potential threats to security. Some even have got EV treatment.

Best Regards, Thomas Lewis

Support is difficult to use because a search inevitably yields the question, which was answered along the lines of "This option is currently being tested in the Nightly build of Firefox for Android, available from the Google Play store." with that response being dated a year or two earlier, and the thread archived. I find this difficult, as it raises the immediate question, "so what happened when it was tested in the nightly build a year and a half ago?"

Is there a way to deal with this? Is there a different approach? It seems support involves entering a query string, and then browsing all previous queries and responses that contain the specified string. Is this indeed the design of the support system? Is there any effort to improve the support system?

Can you please add more padding around the purple 'Add' button (with the star icon) for adding bookmarks on Firefox for Android?

Currently it needs to be pressed very precisely and I'm always opening the existing bookmarks (which I don't want) instead of adding a bookmark (which I do want).

Thank you.

I am writing this feedback to just show my appreciation to firefox for being the best and the safest browser. I was almost scammed in a particular site but kudos to firefox for detecting it and informed me. Firefox is the best browser ever.
