Hello, As a Manifest V3 refugee I'm coming from Edge and I really like the changes I see Firefox has made over the years. At our company we started using Firefox by default for new installs instead of Edge for a few weeks now. There are a few features that we definitely miss, namely:

  • Copy Link Text on right click. It's a very helpful feature on Edge. It copies the text that's link formatted because I don't need to open the link I just want to copy the text. Yes holding ALT works, but it's not as convenient.
  • Split Tabs. Split screen is great, but UI elements take up space. It would be nice if it were managed by the browser. That way even going full screen with F11 gets me a clear view of both sites.
  • I also miss the ability to use Bitwarden (or any password manager extension) alongside my browser password manager. I use each for different purposes, and disabling the built-in password manager because an extension is installed means I only have to use Bitwarden. I have it set up in a way that Bitwarden is for secure password that need biometrics, and my browser password manager is for less important passwords (internal tools mostly).

I'm sure more things will come up in the future as I'm using Firefox on both desktop and mobile. And I am really liking it compared to all the browsers I used for both platforms.

This long standing bug has been driving me crazy on Firefox android

I posted a temporary fix using violentmonkey in the comments

Is there a way we can have this tested by someone on the team? This seems to have fixed it on my end but I'd rather not have to use an add-on to fix this.

There doesn't seem to be an "Other " or "Additional Options" category, so if Settings isn't in the correct category, please tell me where to post this. TIA

I want to be able to create multiple default 'pinned" tabs that will appear every time I open up a new window. Is that possible? If so, how? Again, TIA

Before the last update, I’m using version 157.0 now, it was possible to simply move a complete Firefox tab using drag-and-drop. I frequently used this feature in a multi-monitor setup. While it is still possible via a right-click and the "Move Tab" option, that takes more effort than simply clicking and dragging.

Is that just switched off and hidden in some options, and really no longer possible?

Thank you,

Firefox on Android still partially has tab groups enabled when you turn off the setting under Tabs -> Tab Grouping. The setting removes the header element in the tab view, but if you drag and move a tab to rearrange, it still shows the nesting animation over another tab and if you drop the tab it still shows the grouping UI. I don't want tab groups turned on. Is there a way to make sure this bug is resolved/seen?

I often use the process manager to find open tabs, since only the front one in each open window shows up in the Window drop-down menu. (And I sure wish those windows would read as the WEBSITE and not the specific page name, as it often gives no help in knowing what website it is)

However, sometimes, like just now, it won't show one or more open tabs! Why? Today I was looking for my Google Voice Messages page, and did not see it anywhere in the list. I thought, maybe I had closed it, but when I manually scrolled through all my open windows, I found it on one of them! Can we not count on the process manager to show us all open tabs?

When I try to drag tabs to reorder them, while I'm dragging it, it shows a small transparent preview at my mouse cursor. After about 1 second of dragging it, my Mac enters mission control as if i pressed the F3 key. When i let go, it opens the tab i dragged into a separate window. This happens even when i haven't dragged the tab out of the toolbar.

I have multiple (20-100) tabs open. I choose for example 40 tabs and send them to my Firefox desktop.

Sometime ago there was a option to close those 40 tabs after the sending. Now you can't close multiple tabs in anyway. You can close one tab at a time, or all tabs.

What's the reason for this?
