Hi Folks,

The previous Firefox "Share" menu was very helpful. It presented a number of options for sharing a website. I used it all the time to send websites via email. It was very simple — click on "Share", select "Email" from the drop-down menu, and a new email would open in Thunderbird with the title of the website in the subject area and a link to the website in the text area. Very handy.

But now (I assume as a result of a Firefox update) to get to "Email" I have to go to the "Share" drop-down menu and click on "Airdrop, Messages and More..." (see attached) and then select "Mail" in a small window that appears (see attached). Clicking on "Mail" opens a new email in Thunderbird but unlike previously, the new email has nothing in the "Subject" area (although thankfully, as with the previous "Share" process, the text window does show a link to the website being shared (see attached).

This doesn't make sense to me. The previous "Share" was a quick and easy one-step process, and now it's a more cumbersome two-step process, but the real annoyance is that the subject box of the new email is blank, so one has to go through the process of copying the name of the website or the news headline or whatever, and then pasting it into the new email's subject box. All this seems to be retrogressive. Is there a reason or reasons for the "Share" process to have been changed? And might Mozilla be persuaded to change it back?

Thanks for considering my plea! :)

Hellos,

I updated Firefox version on Android to 157.0. I saw in the changelog that Firefox now uses the standard Android share screen instead of the custom one we had before.

The issue is that I cannot find the feature to send tabs to my other devices. Which is the one sharing option I often use when I tap on share.

I attached a screenshot of me trying to share a link/tab.

What am I missing here? how can I share with other devices om my Mozilla account?

Regards

With the new change to the default Android Share menu, there is supposed to still be the Send Tab to Device option: https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/android/156.0/releasenotes/#:~:text=Android%20sharing,screen

On my Vivo Android phone, there is now only the default share menu with nothing else.

Please return share tab to device with one click from icon. I don't like to click on icon share and search tam share to device and look for device to share. It's too complicated. Thanks

I am a first time user to Firefox. I want to communicate with someone about a project.the process i took was that I downloaded Firefox on my Laptop, gone to sheet and opened it up in Fire Fox, all god so far. Now my question is how do I speak to him about this issue so that he can see the code and direct me further from that point on.Fire Fox appears to have no 2nd screen or split screen for me to do this

share.mozilla.com doesn't work for me when I select "Share" and honestly I don't think anyone gives an airborne intercourse what I bookmark. I just want it and its annoying green "New" box out of the menu, but I can't find a place in Settings to turn it off. An about:config setting, if anyone's found one yet, would be appreciated as well.

Thanks, Brandi Weed

I have Proton Mail and I use Firefox, I used to be able to simply copy a link in Firefox that I wanted to share with someone by emailing them the link in Proton Mail. Then that simple process no longer worked.

However I recently discovered there were two shortcuts I could access in Firefox to copy the link and then open up a new email and click a paste icon in Proton mail and the email link would be pasted in the email.

Now that does not work! What gives and how can I do this process that used to be so completely simple???

Many web pages provide an email icon to send an article to a non subscriber. When I try to do this Firefox wants me to open New Outlook. I use Classic Outlook and don't want to use the new version. How do I fix this?

Simple: just wanting to forward a news article to a friend, but I have to go through all this mess first !! I am running out of time, and may just quit. So frustrating.

Hello,

I am trying to share a tab by right click it and choosing share.

I am clicking on my name when choosing who to share with; There's a small gmail icon next to it and it is also written (you).

I press send and never get any email.

How do I set this up to work?

Thanks
