I've got a suggestion (for Firefox developers) for enabling the quick and easy saving, organizing, and restoring of tabs.

I've usually got maybe 200 or 300 tabs open --- all the time. And I always have Firefox restore them when I reboot. But they're very disorganized. Here's a suggestion for enabling the organizing of them more easily and quickly, using several features already available in Firefox.

1) use ctrl-shift-d to create a set of bookmarks with all of the tabs 2) export this set of bookmarks as HTML to a file 3) use your favorite text or HTML editor to organize the tabs 4) import this organized file into Bookmarks (with the same or a different name) 5) allow Firefox to open this new bookmark file as a new set of tabs (possibly replacing some tabs currently in use)

This seems to me a very logical, and not too difficult to implement, method of organizing a set of disorganized tabs, using a lot of Firefox infrastructure already in place. It would be a big help to me, and I suspect many others as well.

All of a sudden my Apple laptop Firefox is responding VERY slowly. It takes about 10 seconds from hitting enter to any screen response. I've tried it with and without my VPN on, and there's been no changes to my Avast security software (that I know of). I've reviewed the settings/preferences without any clue about what is happening and what I could do to minimize it. I've run a speed check which resulted in 287 down and 190 up, so it's definitely NT my network.

I'm attempting to migrate over to Firefox since Chrome has stopped supporting my ad-blocker of choice. However, I'm finding Firefox almost unusable due to the super annoying mute button that takes of half the tab. It's difficult for me to click on a tab without accidentally muting it. How can I turn off, hide, or disable the mute button (or even move it somewhere other than the tab)?

I use Firefox in Linux and Windows. On Linux I can quickly and easily go to the last tab used by typing ctrl-tab (it even allows me to go to the 5 tabs used before the last one used).

How do I do this in Firefox on Windows? Nothing I've tried seems to work.

On Debian 12 running XFCE the shutter function in the top right orner is missing. This is a option like close, minimize, maximize that allows Linux GUI to only see the title bar, so it is out of the way of other screen applications. It is represented by the caret.

Adjusting the volume of any sound or video player in Firefox also affects the browser's overall volume in the operating system, making it difficult to raise the volume without a sudden increase in volume. I've set 'media.volume_scale' to 0.1 as a temporary fix, but adjusting it frequently is a hassle. I've tested this on my laptop with Linux Mint, and the issue is there as well. A user on Discord referred to this as intended behaviour, but I find it inconsistent and impractical for Firefox to be the only software that behaves this way and would like to change it.

Here's an example.

Hello!

Is there a way to get the icons for Shortcuts on the New Tab page to update their image to show the pinned site's favicon, instead of the Firefox default icons, without manually updating all of them in the "Edit" menu for the icon?

It seems like they should update automatically, like your bookmarks in the Bookmarks menu do, when you visit the site.

I read another Discussion where they said to delete some favicon files in %AppData% > Roaming > Mozilla > Profiles , but those steps did not work for me.

Thanks!
