This is a feature idea I had. I hope someone who works on UI design considers it.

1 - Persistent groups

I use vertical tabs, and I like the idea of tab groups, but I never use them because I don't want them to be ephemeral. As a user, if I'm going to be spending time organizing things with this feature, having tab groups disappear after closing all tabs makes me fee like I've wasted my time engaging with the feature. Tab groups have to persist until users manually delete the group. I'd like for groups to persist even if they have no tabs in them. They are categories with a name in which I would like to organize my browsing, but I'm not going to waste time organizing if I'm going to lose everything by closing tabs.

2 - Auto-grouping new & existing tabs by host name (excluding pinned tabs)

When creating a group, I would like a toggle in the group options ui (where you pick the color and name), to make the group a catch all for any tab opened with the same host name (it would auto-add new tabs with the same host, or existing ones at group creation time). As a matter of fact, when creating a tab group by dragging a single tab over another single tab, when both have the same host name, they should auto toggle on the filtering by host name.

I think this feature would get more use with either of the above changes

I've searched and I'm 99% sure there noting to do other then 3rd party extensions which I don't want to do. After recent months of ESR update, the legacy clear history menu is no longer available (I know they removed it).

Well the cookies and site data used to be separated so I could clear history and not be logged out of Microsoft email account.

Now I have to un-check cookies/site data along with site settings. I tried adding allow to the exceptions in settings but that still cleared the cookies/site data. After some research, it seems ONLY when you select delete history on close, that's the only time it respects the allow list in exceptions.

I guess this is more of a suggestion. Would be nice if the standard clear history wouldn't clear whatever website that is in the exceptions allow list for cookies/site data.

Thanks.

Firefox 153.7.0esr (also affects previous releases) on Linux When I browse websites that have images, and hover to read the title text, Firefox displays the text as white characters on a white background. The only way you can tell that the characters are displayed at all is that sometimes the white character occludes a dark spot in the background or image.

I'd like to change the text colour that Firefox uses to display these title values, so that I can read them.

Attached images:

   title is unreadable until it spills off the image and onto my desktop background

I had 1600 tabs open (foolish, I know, but 16GB RAM and have had no problem with it in the past) when the app suddenly stopped responding.

Restarted the app, all tabs were gone, replaced by my starting page. Very strange, as I have the setting to re-open previous tabs per default. Attempted to open via "recently closed windows", saw all of the tabs, but the content never loaded in - I was able to resize the window, but could not add new tabs or close existing ones with either mouse input or keyboard shortcuts.

The app became unresponsive again. Restarted the app, did the same thing, had the same issue. This time, it caused the entire computer to become unresponsive. When I started the computer again, opened FF, it was on the start page, and the option of "recently closed windows" was suddenly greyed out.

Following the online guides, it takes me to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles but there are very few json files in there and only from a few minutes ago. There is nothing in there from before the crashes

There are no Windows previous versions to restore from

1. Is there any way to recover the tabs that I have missed? 2. Why is information about tabs not stored in a non-replacing way locally? 3. Why is information about tabs not stored on the account in a better way? I am far from the only person who uses tabs as a form of storage, even if it is not optimal

Logging in to Yahoo thru Mozilla, I was advised that password was incorrect. I don't know why, same password I have used forever. I tried changing using the three voices option, was OK, but it recycles again asking for the same info. I've changed password, I think, in Mozilla, but I don't know how this affects Yahoo where I get my emails. I've created a passkey, but don't know how to activate or if I should. Help!!

When I recently upgraded to Mac OS Golden Gate on my MacBook Air (with M1 processor), everything became VERY slow and glitchy. Very akin to days of Dial Up. Apple tech support stated this is an issue with Mozilla Firefox.

Please reach out and provide solutions. I have already cleared cookies and data from Firefox with very little benefit.

Please provide clear steps I can follow as I do not have a strong tech background.

Thank you

I've used Firefox for years. I'm on Ver. 160.0. At&T just upgraded me to 1 gig fiber to the home. Edge works fine BUT Firefox take 3 minutes to find Google.com! and longer for other web sites.

I've tried the following things:

• Called AT&T Tech support and he checked the connection and default DNS and said they were fine.
• Cleared FireFox cash.
• Upgraded Firefox to the latest version.
• Changed my IPv4 DNS to 1.1.1.1 with alternate 1.0.0.1

Nothing has worked. What is Edge doing that Firefox can not do, to find web sites?

Please help... Within the last couple of FireFox (FF) updates — PDF's will no longer save to external drive. The drive is secure, not full... and have no problems saving files there — except when using print to PDF on FF.

Went into Download Subfile Under Settings:

Current Setting: Save Files to: Downloads / Ask Where to Save

Went further into subfiles: Changed Some to 'Always Ask' Is there a way to reset what the settings were? Concerned I may have changed some that should not have been changed. Changed to: 'Always Ask'

Content Set to ‘Always Ask’: AV1 Image File (AVIF) com.logitech.logioptionsplus irc ircs Microsoft Word MPEG Audio PNG Image Portable Document Format (PDF) tg WEBARCHIVE file webcal

Content Set to ‘Save File’: Extensible Markup Language (XML) Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)

Content Set to ‘Open in FireFox’: JPEG XL Image File WebP Image

Set PDF to 'Always Ask' - Did Not Resolve the Printing Problem.

Thank you for your time & assistance. Appreciated.
