Despite Tab Groups not yet being "rolled out" in Australia, I am wondering if "Container Tabs" will still be Supported (in the following ways):

1. Will Container Tabs still be able to be used effectively in concurrence with Tab Groups? 2. Is it planned that Tab Groups is being developed to replace Container Tabs? 3. If one will be able to use Container Tabs concurrently with Tab Groups, can different Container Tabs Types be split over different Tab Groups? 4. Is it planned that Tab Groups will supersede Container Tabs in terms of Protection, Privacy, etc.....? 5. Will Tab Groups be able to be put to sleep/hibernate in order that Firefox "speed/memory" is not effected?

Whilst on the subject of Tab Groups and Container Tabs: 6. Up until a few updates ago, when the mouse was hovered over a Container Tab, a dialogue box would indicate: the Tab Subject, Site Identity and Container Tab Type. Please bring back the Container Tab Type when the mouse hovers over a Container Tab..! 7. When this (Valuable) information was ceased, the only way to get similar information - namely the Container Tab Type - has been to use the: List all tabs icon {tab icon 2} at the Right hand end of the toolbar. It is a blessing that this was not changed, but still a bit of a nuisance to check them both! Why is this an issue you may well ask? - I am sure I am not the only Firefox user (Forever) - with memory decline!

Thanx

How can I set a persistent preference for "pages per sheet" when printing?

After I print a page, Firefox seems to remember most of the options I chose for next time.

For example, if I print using some custom margins, Firefox will default to those same custom margins the next time I print a page. The same for duplex options - Firefox remembers that I want to print double-sided and with "Flip on short edge".

However, it doesn't remember my "pages per sheet" settings. It's annoying because I always print 2 pages per sheet, but Firefox defaults to 1. So I need to change that setting to 2 every time I print. If I forget, I wastefully use twice as much paper.

I've checked in about:config and `print.save_print_settings` is set to `true`. Like I say, most of my settings do get saved, but not "pages per sheet".

Is there anything I can do to set a persistent preference for this?

Is there a way to change the app name on the title menu bar on Macbook. "Firefox Developer Edition" is too long and takes up valuable real estate. I tried going into about:config, pulling up the browser.display.titlebar and editing the name, but doesn't change anything? Thanks for your help!

I like the new consolidated tabs feature, can an indicator be added to show when sub tabs (web page links) have received notifications? For example: I get an email but don't know it because the colored tab doesn't indicate it. So I have to open all tabs to see which ones have new notifications. I have multiple emails, messages etc... within the main tab but no way to know if a message has been sent without opening the tab.

Dear Firefox Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I would like to suggest a small but useful enhancement to the Firefox interface that I believe would improve user experience and accessibility.

Currently, in the "Customize Sidebar" section, the available tools are limited to a few items such as AI Chat, Tabs from Other Devices, History, and Bookmarks. I believe it would be very helpful to include "Downloads" as an additional sidebar tool.

This would allow users to quickly access their recent downloads without needing to go through the menu or use shortcuts. It adds convenience and aligns well with the purpose of the sidebar — offering quick access to frequently used features.

Thank you for your time and for continuously improving Firefox. I look forward to seeing future updates! Warm regards, Julabeeb a firefox user, developer, and contributor

I have a couple questions on tab groups, I'm a new ms edge refuge but this not as smooth as I would like :). I realize tab groups are oddly new for FF, but I'm trying to get setup and running into two main issues. 1. I cant seem to freely reorder the tab groups, I can move the individual book pages no problem but not the groups as a whole. I would expect to be able to left hold click drag the order of the groups just like individual tabs. 2. Tab groups don't seem to exist across clients (or maybe I'm missing the how). If I open FF on my mac I would expect to see or at least be able to reopen the same tab groups as my windows PC, not just the individual pages from history on other device. Is there a way to do this? 3. can't import tab groups from edge? You don't want to make it easy for folks to switch?

Thanks, if I missed something happy to learn.

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.

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?
