The sidebar that shows the browsing history is a very convenient tool. However, now, after closing the window, the option is reset to the bookmarks bar. You have to select the browsing history again, which is very inconvenient. Is there any way to fix this?

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 use translation A LOT. (I'm learning a foreign language.) It would help to be able to move or resize the results window. Right now, it covers the original foreign language text. I want to compare the translation with the original text and the fixed size and position of your results window makes that a lot more difficult.

Background color for the toolbar customization screen is awful

I've looked at this page:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-firefox-controls-buttons-and-toolbars

It shows the toolbar customization page like in the attached image I've named Customize Toolbar.

In my Firefox (138.0.1 64-bit on Windows 11), it looks like what I'm showing in the attached image I've named My Customize Toolbar.

I like the background shown in the Mozilla documentation. I hate the background I've got. I didn't choose that color. I have no idea where it's coming from. I sure would like to change that disgusting color to white.

How do I do that?

Is there a way to remove the thumbtacks and rounded edges off the shortcuts in the newest version?

I love Firefox otherwise, but the thumbtacks look terrible and are distracting. I use the shortcuts dozens of times daily to open my most frequent sites.

Please remove the thumbtacks and overly rounded edges in the new version.

Is there a way to hide the thumbtacks?

The support search does not appear to support community forum questions in the "attention needed" state. Please reconsider this limitation, as these newer questions are more likely to be relevant to others arriving with the same question.

Very frustrating to search for something, have no results returned, write up the issue, and only then discover that three other people have reported the exact same problem. If "attention needed" results had appeared in the initial search, I could have found one and selected the "I have this problem, too" button, and then added any other relevant details to that discussion, keeping the conversation from scattering into multiple questions.

Incidentally, it is pretty obnoxious that there is no feedback mechanism for this forum site itself.

Hello! I really enjoy using the Firefox browser. I just wanted to suggest that you have an option to write notes in each password profile that can also be secure. My iPhone has a notes section under each password profile. I use it to write info such as my airline advantage number, the email I used with that particular website, membership numbers, etc. I'm getting up there in age, so while I'm working on simplifying my life it helps to make notes to remember stuff. Can you suggest this idea to the right people at Firefox or Mozilla? Thank you for your help and consideration. Carolyn

Note: I am using an older computer at home right now but do use a new computer at work and will be upgrading at home soon.

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 couldn't find a proper category for this. Why does Mozilla make it hard to figure out where to report a bug? And then once you find where you need to be, they force you to create an additional login (something EVERYBODY wants to do more than necessary) to actually report the bug.

Yay, just what I want to waste time doing. I was hoping I could create another useless account somewhere with a new username and password to fill up my password manager with more junk. Thanks Mozilla!

Brought to you by the UI designer who thought it would be a good idea to remove all semblance of separation or delineation between individual tabs. This guy probably defiantly refuses to shave a break in the unibrow he got teased for mercilessly in high school.

I think it would be very helpful to the general user-base to have instant intelligent access to their information in a way that is sandboxed from the website that is requesting information. The only thing keeping me using chrome is the intelligent autofill. Many websites do not autofill. This issue is also present on firefox for android. Single sign on applications have difficulties on android as well when using mozilla password manager, as it does not get its secure "unlocked" status from the android system. This results in needing to unlock the password manager on the keyboard every time, often making the user lose the text field they had their cursor on.
