We're trying something new and would love your help. Features like tab groups, vertical tabs, profiles, new tab wallpapers, PWAs, and taskbar pinning weren't just ideas - they were direct responses to what you told us you wanted. Your input has helped shape where Firefox is today, and we're proud of what we've built together. We're listening, we've been listening, and we're excited to keep building a better browser together. Starting now, we're trying something new. A series of quick check-ins to hear where you're at, what's on your mind, and what you really want from Firefox. These surveys will help shape Firefox features and give you more direct ways to connect with the people building your favorite browser. Just honest questions, and space for honest answers. Help guide our next AMA with the Firefox team We're thinking about how we engage with this community, and we're planning a community AMA (Ask Me Anything) with Firefox product managers. Let's start with questions to help us plan the AMA, and a fun one at the end. What's one thing you've always wanted to ask the Firefox team? Drop it in the comments! It might get answered during our upcoming AMA. Which topics should we cover during the AMA? (Some suggestions, or you can add your own below) * New features (and why we pick them) * Other: [tell us] Which animal best represents your Firefox browsing style? * Cheetah - lightning fast * Owl - wise and methodical * [?] Squirrel - a total tab-hoarder * Dolphin - curious and always exploring * Other (tell us below!)

I regularly destroy hundreds of tabs and like exploring. Split View is lacking. I'm constantly multitasking and working with different documents at the same time, such as Canva, Google Docs, and Excel. Make the Android interface and themes more flexible. Since quarantine began, the browser has become more than just a tool. There used to be themes, by the way. I think... It was a long time ago. I would like more flexibility in the interface, which Vivaldi offers. However, it's clear that Firefox is more focused on browser development itself. That's what interests me about the browser. I've been with you for over a year, although I was here before 2017 until Chrome came between us. I have a few questions, one of which is what a typical workday looks like for you. How do you feel about feedback from Reddit? There's often a lot of negativity there, and people feel disconnected on Mozilla Connect. One frustrated user claimed that posts here don't make any noise. I remember trying to sign up for a user study, but I think they skipped me. It would be fun to see some crazy ideas. I'm concerned about the lack of Cyrillic languages in AI features, as well as the fact that many of your good ideas go unnoticed. Orbit could clearly be improved, although the sidebar developed under Ania's leadership has surpassed its functionality. That's a lot of questions, but it's nice to meet you! 5 Kudos Reply tilwiti tilwiti Contributor In response to tilwiti Options * Mark as New * Bookmark * Subscribe * Mute * * Subscribe to RSS Feed * * Permalink * Print * * Report Inappropriate Content 07-14-2025 03:48 PM I'm also interested in your expectations regarding the user base and the mysterious YouTube freezes. Fewer users means fewer sites pay attention to performance on Firefox. This is somewhat disappointing, though little has changed for me as a user. It mainly breaks on some particularly clunky sites. Thankfully, most sites appear normal or, with the help of Firefox, don't reveal their true nature. However, the graph is falling inexorably, and it's unclear how many users blocking ad blockers will bring. It's amusing to realize that using an ad blocker isn't an obvious skill. Without it, though, it's like not wearing a gas mask. On Reddit, people constantly complain about YouTube freezing. It seems like magic to me because it's never happened to me. Maybe I'm tolerant of delays, or maybe it's because I pay for it. Or maybe I'm not included in their A/B testing. Some people theorize that it's monopolistic machinations. I don't like conspiracy theories; I prefer real data. Maybe there's an extension that could log what's happening inside the YouTube page and reveal this mystery. Many people are mourning the loss of Pocket, especially Fakespot. Are they gone for good, or will they resurface in a new incarnation? It seems like a lot of people used these two acquired companies' services. Oof. Anyway, how's your summer going? It's been nothing but heat here. 1 Kudo Reply tilwiti tilwiti Contributor In response to tilwiti Options * Mark as New * Bookmark * Subscribe * Mute * * Subscribe to RSS Feed * * Permalink * Print * * Report Inappropriate Content 07-14-2025 04:01 PM Okay, and my little headache.

I really like it, but it also disables Mozilla telemetry. What percentage of your users do you estimate have telemetry disabled, and how much does this affect your decisions? Perhaps you can see this through Firefox Sync, although I won't speculate on that. Any news item that mentions telemetry or terms of service causes slight panic because the active part of the community reacts strongly to what they perceive as a reduction in freedom. I remember when people thought Firefox was selling their data wholesale because of the wording of your terms of service. That caused quite a stir. You eventually published a blog post explaining the situation, and the panic subsided. Also there was that incident with PPA. I sincerely believe releasing a comic strip a few weeks in advance, featuring the fox from the error messages, about some planned changes that could be interpreted differently, might have helped. But that's just fantasy. Or maybe not. I do like that character, though. 0 Kudos Reply Kvin Kvin Making moves Options * Mark as New * Bookmark * Subscribe * Mute * * Subscribe to RSS Feed * * Permalink * Print * * Report Inappropriate Content 07-14-2025 04:25 PM Hello, thank you for Firefox, for developing it. The most requested features like tabs grouping, vertical tabs, pwa, profiles have made our lives better) we are very grateful for it, we are happy together. I think you need to focus on 3 things, optimization, features and design Of course, we need periodic comprehensive improvements to the browser, not forgetting about small ideas that may be noticed, but the main thing we need is For the PC version Optimization: (Faster page loading), this is probably the most important thing we want, Firefox really lags behind in terms of page loading speed compared to other browsers, do you have any plans to improve the speed or does it require some seriously complex engine changes? We also need to reduce resource consumption, at least an improved sleep function for tabs to reduce the consumption of RAM. Features: Workspaces, this is a very convenient modern feature that in 1-2 clicks changes our browser, dividing the view into categories... Split Site Screen is also an important feature that is already available in all browsers, it will also allow us to compare different products, texts... Portable version for Windows, it will also be + 1 feature for security, it is similar to container programs in Linux. Design: Icons in the menu and in the context menus, let's bring back, we are more likely to navigate by icons. More rounded horizontal tabs should match the rounded vertical tabs. A new browser icon, it's been a long time since the icon was changed, let's change it. New color instead of the perennial purple. New animation of a circle or a loading line on the tabs, it will be more informative than the 3 dots animation. Mobile version. Optimization: (Fixing the problem of unloading reloading tabs), this is the most frustrating thing for us, that we don't want to launch the browser( Faster page loading, the mobile version also needs faster page loading. Features: Ability to choose your own wallpaper for a new tab, this will give us the ability to customize the browser for ourselves, we don't have enough standard wallpapers, give us freedom Grouping of tabs, thanks for grouping tabs on PC, but we also need it on phones, because it is difficult to navigate among many tabs( Workspaces, it would be nice to have also in the mobile version to divide by categories. And please let us know in advance what stages of development this or that feature is in. Thank you!

Especially for people using browser-based or cloud gaming services -- it would be amazing to know if there are upcoming features focused on stability and speed. Also, I'd love to see more integration or tips on optimizing Firefox for gaming. For example, I recently came across this guide on optimizing browsers for games like CarX Street, and it made me realize how much impact browser settings can have on gaming performance. As for the animal, I'd say I'm definitely a Owl -- I like to plan, use profiles, and keep everything super organized (most of the time!).

I'll try to keep it simple. I'm defenetly an Owl and a Dophin (I switch browsers quite often to test new features for example). I use a Browser primarly for work purposes (it covers more than 80% of my time online). Since I'm using a browser primary for work I need some productivity tools out of the box. Firefox implemented very well the vertical tabs, tab groups and PnP (it is one of the best implementations out there) however there are some things missing that will defenetly make me switch to Firefox as the ONLY browsing app. Currently I use Firefox as my secondary browser for my personal browsing and what is missing (for me at least) are these features: 1. Workspaces (as Vivaldi and Opera have implemented) 2. PnP for meetings (it is a Chromium feature for Google Meet however Opera devs implemented this feature 5 years ago and for me over the pandemic it was a life saver) 3. Sidebar (as in Vivaldi, Opera and Edge) with the possibility to add web pannels. This helps A LOT my productivity 4. Show occupied RAM for every tab 5. The ability to sync tab groups on every platform (Desktop, Android, iOS) 6. Addons on iOS (I know....I understand the difficulty but it is on my whishlist) Let's say that the first 3 are mandatory for my workflow. And now for the good part: Firefox is the ONLY browser company that has people like you, that ask its user base for feedback and as far as I'm cencerned this also is what makes browsing with Firefox the right thing to do. Thank you and keep up the great work you're doing. 1 Kudo Reply mmattq mmattq Making moves Options * Mark as New * Bookmark * Subscribe * Mute * * Subscribe to RSS Feed * * Permalink * Print * * Report Inappropriate Content 07-15-2025 07:02 AM Workspaces! Recently, I tried Vivaldi and it looks great, the UI is very smooth and polished. It's a pleasure to work in Vivaldi. The tabs look good (not like buttons), the workspaces are fantastic, and the sidebar is just a bonus. Customization options are also very good in Vivaldi. And of course workspaces in the Android version. And of course I'd love to see workspaces implemented in the Android version as well. 1 Kudo Reply jldevezas jldevezas Making moves Options * Mark as New * Bookmark * Subscribe * Mute * * Subscribe to RSS Feed * * Permalink * Print * * Report Inappropriate Content 07-15-2025 07:26 AM - edited 07-15-2025 07:32 AM I would extend tab groups to tab folders, and integrate them with bookmark folders, as special dynamic bookmark folders (a checkbox per folder would mark bookmark folders that can be opened as tab folders). This way, you add tab group/folder sync with zero effort as well, via the already existing bookmarks sync. In my opinion, this solution is better than any other that exists currently, because it lets you integrate tab groups and bookmarks, without having to turn all bookmark folders into a tab group--like Arc does for example, which I thought I liked but it really just breaks organization. Having only a select few bookmark folders be openable as tab folders would be perfect. We might even be able to open any subfolder of a dynamic folder as a tab folder. The main challenge with this, besides the obvious effort required to implement it, is handling horizontal tabs. This works fine for vertical tabs, but maybe it's a challenge for the classical horizontal setup. --- PhD in Computer Science 2 Kudos Reply SuperMatt SuperMatt Making moves Options * Mark as New * Bookmark * Subscribe * Mute * * Subscribe to RSS Feed * * Permalink * Print * * Report Inappropriate Content 07-15-2025 07:54 AM Workspaces is definitely one of the features that I feel like I'm missing, as others have said, but I also think that FireFox needs better screen sharing options. While we have the ability to share windows or the full screen, Chrome and it's various forks all have the ability to share a specific tab. In fact, I much prefer the window for picking what's shared in Chrome et al, because it allows me to directly choose in the UI, rather than having to mouse over what I want to share. These are some business forward features that I think Firefox needs to start focusing on, and I think Enterprise is what Firefox needs to be thinking about more than anything. 1 Kudo Reply Phoenix_F Phoenix_F Making moves Options * Mark as New * Bookmark * Subscribe * Mute * * Subscribe to RSS Feed * * Permalink * Print * * Report Inappropriate Content 07-15-2025 07:55 AM - edited 07-15-2025 07:56 AM Hello Firefox team, An owl! I will like to see better optimization! i mean less resource usage in part of the browser, i have a mid range desktop PC which there works pretty well and i don't have many problems but i tested out Firefox in low-mid low end computers,laptops, Android mobile devices and is almost unusable, i would like to see a performance,stability,optimization pass in all platforms, also more focus in the mobile apps (Android, iOS) which they still are missing features like, extension support, ad block in iOS and site Isolation,Tab groups, better UI design in the android version. I think that for now the browser have all the standard features that a modern browser should have, at least in desktop, the only thing that is missing is Split View, but for the rest is pretty solid and enough, you should now focus in the Gecko engine,web page performance and less resource usage, Thanks for this amazing browser!. 1 Kudo Reply tilwiti tilwiti Contributor Options * Mark as New * Bookmark * Subscribe * Mute * * Subscribe to RSS Feed * * Permalink * Print * * Report Inappropriate Content 07-15-2025 08:26 AM https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1leajp7/ what_firefox_needs_to_compete_in_2025_and_beyond/ 2 Kudos Reply Jon Community Manager Jon Community Manager In response to tilwiti Options * Mark as New * Bookmark * Subscribe * Mute * * Subscribe to RSS Feed * * Permalink * Print * * Report Inappropriate Content 07-15-2025 08:39 AM Oh awesome, we'll take a look at that thread too! 1 Kudo Reply tilwiti tilwiti Contributor In response to Jon Options * Mark as New * Bookmark * Subscribe * Mute * * Subscribe to RSS Feed * * Permalink * Print * * Report Inappropriate Content 07-15-2025 09:43 AM Yes, some threads that were supposed to be here ended up on Reddit by some twist of fate.

You've always been negative about ad blocking, but Brave and Librewolf have built-in ad filtering plugins. It's also important to say that it must be Adguard, don't use ublock. Because Adguard has more languages, includes a lot of ad filtering rules, and has a detailed introduction, the user experience is higher than that of ublock. ublock contains fewer ad filtering rules, and I don't know the usefulness of ad filtering rules, so there is no corresponding introduction. 1 Kudo Reply anthrem anthrem Making moves In response to wutongtaiwan Options * Mark as New * Bookmark * Subscribe * Mute * * Subscribe to RSS Feed * * Permalink * Print * * Report Inappropriate Content 07-15-2025 11:08 AM All due respect, Adguard has an extension that is quite functional.

Some of the shortcuts on firefox are ridiculous and seriously slows me down. Also, having keyboard shortcuts to activate extensions like chrome does would be nice. Right now, I literally have an autohotkey script running to remap keyboard shortcuts. 2) I didn't think I'd miss it, but Google lens. I'd love to see some kind of built in OCR and image search function. There's probably an extension that does this, but none as smooth as on Chrome. 3) I honestly don't like the 'library' panel. I'd much prefer if it was just a tab like in chrome. 4) Some way to make the size of the UI larger. I feel like the bookmarks are harder to read on firefox. 5) For some reason, video call quality is far worse on firefox than chrome. When I have a meeting on google meet, the audio from my mic on firefox is much more garbled. 6) (this is kind of a pet peeve) activating picture-in-picture focuses on the popout window, so I can't combo keyboard shortcuts (e.g. put this video in picture-in-picture and go to another tab) 1 Kudo Reply fraggedy_andy fraggedy_andy Making moves Options * Mark as New * Bookmark * Subscribe * Mute * * Subscribe to RSS Feed * * Permalink * Print * * Report Inappropriate Content 07-15-2025 03:01 PM What you all really need to work on is messaging.

I'm still not sure I understand why you're getting into AI other than the fact that other companies are working on it and I'm really not sure if you're implementing a more privacy-friendly and open sourced AI that doesn't gobble energy and data or if I should find another alternative browser that's not using AI. Communicate better and help me to understand. And don't just drop it on a blog, there should be videos, messaging, something to let people know that the info is out there and where it is. I'd like to see some security improvements with sandboxing, especially in Android. I prefer Firefox as my browser, but I've been reading up on security in Gecko and it seems that it's weaker than Chromium/Blink. If this isn't true, I'd love to find out. I think you also dropped the ball on Mastodon. You went in to give users a shot at an open source social media experience and it feels like you just shut it down before giving it a fair shake. How is it that Vivaldi can run their own server and do well but you crashed out, depriving users a fair go and removing an avenue to communicate directly with your users? I'll add the split screen idea is a good one and one I've used quite a bit in Vivaldi and Zen Browser.

Stability just seems to be a lower priority. Plus, Firefox has fallen behind on Dev tools, and Chrome based browsers turn out to have much better memory and cpu profiling tools. I'm very sad about this, and dragged my feet on the switch for 2 years. But it just feels like to fix the decline, Firefox needs to really fix the performance and dev tools problems. 1 Kudo Reply zed1 zed1 Making moves In response to decarbonise Options * Mark as New * Bookmark * Subscribe * Mute * * Subscribe to RSS Feed * * Permalink * Print * * Report Inappropriate Content 07-15-2025 07:44 PM - edited 07-15-2025 07:45 PM If you're a dev you're gonna be using Chrome dev tools no matter what. I don't think there's a way around that. The memory usage is an issue. I keep my MacBook Air plugged in running 24/7 with multiple browser windows each with a different set of tabs, usually 20-40 tabs across all windows, part of this is dashboards for local apps, others are project researches, etc.. Well after a few days those tabs are taking up >12GB RAM on my 16GB RAM MacBook Air and I'm going into Swap for another 8GB+. So just sitting idle with a bunch of tabs open for a few weeks and now my MBA is juggling upwards of 24GB memory on 16GB RAM. And yes, it's noticeable, when the system is swapping this hard everything lags to hell and back. Because of Firefox, and ONLY Firefox, I recently upgraded my MacBook Air to a 32GB RAM model. That cost me over $2000. All because Firefox uses tons of memory. 0 Kudos Reply Load more replies [icon_anony] [ ] Post Reply [icon_anony] Preview Exit Preview [Preview] [ ] never-displayed You must be signed in to add attachments never-displayed Additional options Products [ ] You do not have permission to remove this product association.
