My suggestion is quite simple but will help users make their browsers feel more personal. It's having a built-in speeddial in the startpage instead of most visited websites. A speeddial similar that of Vivaldi, Opera or Yandex.
Id rather have this baked into the browser and not as a type of add-on.
I don't know where i should submit feedback on Firefox as it just brings me here.

Hello,
On Mac OS, I'd like to be able to run more than one Thunderbird installation at a time (so many benefits here): For example, I've installed Thunderbird and SunMonkey - both can be open/closed independently and do not interfere with each other's profiles or instances.
Ideally: Don't know if this is wishful thinking but perhaps there is an existing out-of-the box solution already out there - e.g. by just turning on a switch or clicking on a button during an installation - don't know how hard this would be to implement but I'm sure it would be a great feature.
If there's no ideal solution, is there a simple and crash-proof way to do this? I've used a bash-script to run old FF and FF Quantum installations/instances simultaneously (and independently) but there are problems with bash scripts as mentioned in the first comment of this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/6urikd/is_running_two_tb_at_once_viable_and_safe/
Is there a way to modify the installation (maybe a light-touch/superficial fork? - don't know how to do this) so that MacOS thinks the second installation is a separate software app? You know, like how Firefox Developer Edition and Firefox can be run simultaneously and independently of each other and MacOS treats them as separate web browser apps. I would also change the logo at this stage to avoid confusion.
Would I be able to install TB-Enterprise and regular TB and run instances simultaneously/independently?
I'm not a programmer but have managed a bash script from scratch before so happy to try some solutions.
Thanks in advance.

When Firefox loads up it calls out to sites, how do I stop that?

I'm using Firefox 68.0, 64 bit, on Win 10 Pro.
When I load up Firefox it takes a while (with a lot of disk activity) to load up. Maybe a minute or so at present, (it was longer until I manually cleared out extravagant amounts of data stored by sites that shouldn't have it).
When looking at the Manage Data functionality under the Privacy settings today, I saw that a large number of sites has their "last used" time marked as "3 minutes ago" which corresponded to the time Firefox was started up.
I looked through the sites involved. Over a hundred of them. Mostly sites that I haven't used for a long time, and not sites that the open pages have any links to (in other words these are not legitimate pre-fetches).
I manually selected the appropriate sites and removed cookies and data.
What is happening?
What default site setting/s can I use to prevent this sort of thing in future (on start-up)?
How do I programmatically access the "Manage Data" functionality? (I'd like to check sites what have gotten onto Firefox, how many cookies they have, how much data space they occupy, when last accessed, and remove their data should I wish. I don't want to do this repeatedly every few days, by hand.)
I've attached an image of the Manage Data screen taken about an hour after Firefox started, to illustrate.
Thanks.

I haven't been able to receive email on one of my Gmail accounts (I have three). It just stopped today. When IMAP/POPping, it just says there's no messages to download (no error messages) but in the Gmail Inbox online there are some.
Not sure where to begin. With the hundreds of emails I receive daily, I'd hate to have to close this profile and start over again.

I have 6 websites that automatically add the sites to my bookmarks, even when I am not on the site. I went there once and somehow they are populating my bookmarks with 100s of each site. Also, my folders are being duplicated. The attached image shows a sample of my bookmarks. When I set my mouse on the down arrow to scroll to the end, it takes 115 seconds to roll to the end at about 3 seconds per 40-line page scrolled. Current rough estimate is over 1600 bookmark/folder items. I went thru the editing 2 weeks ago, removing all unwanted bookmarks & folders.

It was a strange thing, listening to Army Secretary Mark Esper’s confirmation hearing on Tuesday.

Hi, I'm encountering a lot of lag in Firefox. Websites are loading incredibly slow, mostly after the information actually loads. I'm looking for an option to disconnect access to the internet for a webpage.
For example, Linkedin is the main contributor of this lag. It loads the visual webpage I see, then it loads a lot of information in the background. Until it finishes this background loading, I can't select any text. I'm looking for the option to stop this background loading. Something "stronger" than the button in the top left, where the refresh button is. I want to stop the webpage from being able to access the internet, is this possible?

The USBank Payment Confirmation page has a print button. Using the print button used to print looking the same as the online screen, up until about the beginning of June, now it prints two lines for each online screen (ex: "Fees: No Fee" prints Fees: on one line and No Fee on the next line). Using IE instead of Firefox prints just fine. Also 70% or 100% printing makes no difference. Scaling is automatic.

The "ghost" caret also appears when I'm pressing left or right arrow keys to move the caret. It seems to be white, even when the real caret is black on white background. It is easily seen when a text field background is a dark color. It appears for about one frame, my screen refresh rate is 60Hz.
It doesn't seem to be a "fake" caret or merely a graphical element. When I'm editing a field of text, eg. in Google Docs, I've occasionally started editing or selecting text one character to the right. Like as if in that split second I just happened to send the keystroke when the ghost caret appeared. But because it was so brief, it is near impossible to replicate.
I've tried Firefox in safe-mode and there was no ghost caret. So I removed all add-ons/extensions, but the ghost caret still appears even if I have no extensions installed, which is why it's so baffling. I've refreshed and re-installed Firefox, both didn't work.
This "ghosting" only happens in Firefox, not in IE nor Chrome.
I used a screen capturing software and recorded this problem, then extracted a frame from the video to show the real caret and ghost caret side by side. Hope this better illustrates what I'm seeing. I have Dark Reader activated so the ghost caret can be easily seen. If Dark Reader isn't activated, it would be impossible to see due to the white background.
I do most of my work on cloud based platforms so this ghosting is very annoying and distracting. Or worse, could it be a keylogger or malicious program causing this?
Please help, Thank you!

Hi there The most recent update for #Firefox has a "bug fix" (1565315) for which the access to details are denied. That's peculiar for an open source project. The bug is about Russian users having their default search engine changed. Is this just a geolock? VPN didn't work. I like to be able to view the details of any update I'm installing, for obvious privacy reasons. When will these details be made available so I can update? Thanks.
