tool bar and other buttons

I would like to have all the controls and buttons on the left side, vertically on the browser. This is where i recently put the windows tool bar on my widescreen laptop. On the right side would do, but if both are on the left it would be easy for someone to look at page from right side or you could help someone work browser from the left, as well as a bigger up and down view. Once I form the new habit I think I will like this way much better. thanks later, Ron

Title Your Mozilla Browsers

I have an idea for an add on and it is summarized as follows: I jut thought of an idea from personal experience to be added on to firefox. I think that you should be able to title each different web window you have open. I am currently writing a term paper and I have a window for music and email, a window for google books, and a window for possible sources. Each window has multiple tabs and it's just like a little filing system. It would be cool if I could click a window then click the title bar (or something else) and type a title like: 'Media' for my music/email page and such. This

Mac Firefox 3.6 behaviour with local files

I would like Mac Firefox 3.6 to use the same setting for opening local files as it uses for opening new web pages. In other words, it should open the local file in a new tab, not a new window if I have that setting enabled in Preferences > Tabs. Why have it not open directly to the local file if it is not running already, instead of opening the window on the home page, and forcing me to double-click the local file again, only to have that open in a new window? Why does this behaviour happen only in Mac Firefox and not in Windows Firefox?

newsgroups

The old Netscape (7.2 and earlier) had a newsgroup feature. I'd like to see it returned to later versions of mozilla Internet browsers.

Optional "Local Folders"

Many people, like me, don't use the "Local Folders" account for anything. At all. This page: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Local_Folders describes possible uses for "Local Folders": > # If you use an IMAP e-mail account mail is normally stored "remotely" > (on the server) rather than being downloaded and stored "locally" (on > your own computer). Local Folders provides a convenient place to store > messages locally when desired. You could use offline folders instead > but that can cause complications and you would need to switch > Thunderbird to working offline to access those fold

Improving Management of Mozilla Bookmarks

I aggregate links for a blog which puts me in front of on average hundreds of web pages daily. I use Mozilla Firefox for all my web ventures. As time goes by I'm left facing thousands of links with only very basic organization. While the name, path destination and visit date are quite useful columns and there sort functionality is helpful. It could vastly be improved with implementation of multiple priority based column sorting. For instance i could sort primarily by name and secondly by visit date. Another simple suggestion would be to implement the ability to select multiple

Thunderbird: definable external editor

It would be lovely to be able to define an external text editor for Thunderbird, and even better if the user is given access to all headers in the editor, as was done in the old console-mode newsreaders and mail user agents of yore (tin, trn, yarn, elm, pine-- among others). To understand why this would be useful, please note the line-wrap problems in my immediately preceding post, 'Automatic offline mode', which came of my attempt to reflow the last paragraph. Thanks, Jeff

Feature to display MD5sum in FF "downloads list"

A nice feature would be to allow users to display the MD5 sum of downloaded files in the "downloaded file list". (By right clicking?) Henrik

Tags (Seamonkey and Thunderbird)

Tags. I'd like them to be searchable. Like, um, keywords. The search function would have option to search by tags. :o) -- calfan (who is drooling at the possibilities of reducing 'folder overload')

IM integration in Thunderbird.

Hello all, I love Thunderbird because it can handle so many different sources - RSS, IMAP, POP, newsgroups servers.... just one thing missing - Instant messaging function. I think this would be a great addition. Even if it was available as an extension, such as Lightning, that would be great. Daniel C.

Account tag in Inbox view

Selecting Inbox in Smart Folders lists mail in all my different account's inboxes. It is possible to select a new column for Account. The accounts are however not listed, whcih I had expected. An error or a function not yet in operation? Gorm

Expiring bookmarks (temporary bookmarks)

I would like to be able to make bookmarks that expire after a set amount of time. For example, set a bookmark that will self-destruct in 7 days. Sometimes, I am looking at something, like a forum topic, and want to keep track of it for just a couple of days. After a while, that topic might become irrelevant and the bookmark will just sit there, collecting dust. Thanks, Lou

I would like Mac Tbird 3.0 to work better at loading emails

I just started using Thunderbird 3.0 RC1 on Mac OS, and I have it set to receive only email headers at first. The email messages are not loading into the window after I click the link to load the body. I have to close the window with the link and go back and double click the message again to get the body. Why is this? Is there any setting I can use to get the body to load into the same window?

Security applications

Does anyone know if Mozilla has any inclination/disinclination towards = developing security software?

Option to erase cache in firefox 3.5

I want the option to clear the cache back! This was present in earlier versions and still in firefox 3.0... In firefox 3.5, you can only clear recent history or do private browsing, which also does not memorize history. But I do not want to clear history, I want to reduce needed disk space and thus erase the cache and nothing but the cache. (I am working on a Linux system with a quota and am permanently near the upper limit. Clearing the cache usually gets me below the quota.) This was easy in previous firefox versions (two clicks) but seems to require you to do the cache clearing

The only thing about Firefox that annoys me....

Why is there not an option for a toolbar button that with a single click will download the images for the currently viewed page? This should not refresh, just fetch and fill in the missing images (avoiding duplicated download and allowing it to work with "Captcha" web pages, refresh often resets everything). Like many people in rural areas I depend on comparatively expensive Mobile Internet with a very restrictive usage policy. I also often have to use modestly powered computers ( i.e netbooks). So, 90% of my browsing is done with "Load pictures automatically" unchecked. Howe

Archive enhancement

The archive feature in TB 3.x is useful, but I would like to see it enhanced. I already filter incoming mail to various folders, e.g., one for each Yahoo! group, but some of these now contain many thousands of messages. I would like an option to archive the old messages to dated subfolders of *that* folder, rather than of the inbox itself. -=- Alan

SSL connection to Proxy Servers

Hi, It would be nice if Firefox would be able to CONNECT to Forward Proxy Servers trough an encrypted SSL channel. Browser < -SSL-> Squid Forward Proxy As fas as I know none of the browsers has that. I'm not talking about proxying https traffic but rather making all the connection to the proxy server through https. This is vital for clients authenticating to the proxy server (basic auth over SSL) as well as hiding sensitive personal information like URLs visited. I would also be nice to support (mutual?) proxy authentication with SSL client certificates. Best Regards, Gia

Songbird?

I'm not sure if this is the right newsgroup to put this in, but why isn't Songbird in the 'Projects' list at mozilla.org? It IS a Mozilla project right?

Maildir for Thunderbird

MBOX is terrible in several ways. One of the most painfull things with MBOX are incremental backups. One new Mail alters the whole MBOX file. In my case that means additional 4 GB per day. *m

Thunderbird Folder name in Reading window title

Hi Folks: Thunderbird is a lifesaver! I have used Netscape for my email client for years, and it quit working. Thunderbird took over flawlessly! Thanks to all of you who contribute. I use Microsoft Windows, currently XP Professional. I believe the behavior is the same on Vista. A suggestion. When I am looking through my Folders, the name of the folder appears in the window title. But, when I am reading a message, the Folder name is not displayed. It would be really helpful to me if the Folder name could appear in the window title when reading, as well. My reason

firefox alert window

Hello, In Firefox I have an alert window when I ask again too quickly to check the mail accounts (something like "please wait the end of the process"). This window seems to block the mail checking, before I press OK. Does it have to? Shouldn't the mail checking continue - or be done a second time after the first one ends, without blocking the process? Could a message in the status bar be enough? Thanks

Thunderbird - Separate tabs for email, rss and newsgroups.

Simple really. I have 10+ email accounts, lots of rss feeds and a huge number of newsgroup subscriptions. The All Folders sidebar is now too long and cluttered. So, with thunderbird's new tabs, how about splitting the sidebar into 3 and having each on it's own tab. You'd then have tabs for Email, Newsgroups, RSS, Calendar and Tasks.

Nested Tabs

I'm sure everyone loves having multiple tabs in one window, but how about multiple tabs within a tab? I believe we would all find such a feature to be of great utility to our web-browsing. For example, when researching on a subject, I'm sure we tend to open way too many tabs that can quickly get very disorganised. I believe that some form of nested tabs should help alleviate the problem. Hope I'm not suggesting something that has already been suggested by someone else. Please give your thoughts on this. Thanks!

Firefox 4 dumbing down?

I have been looking at the wiki.mozilla.org page at the proposed new interfaces for Firefox 4. I depend on the menu bar a lot, and would not like that to be removed. I also use the bookmarks toolbar buttons, and would not like to see those reduced to one button. On the toolbar, the reload button is not there any more. I use that quite a bit also. What is the point of gutting the interface like that anyway? Must the developers treat people like kindergarten kids who cannot understand anything that is a bit more complex?

Bookmark Toolbar glitch not fixed

Why is it that the bug with the Bookmark Toolbar not spreading the bookmarks out horizontally in Firefox 3.5 is not fixed yet? It was there in the beta versions, in FF 3.5, and is still there in FF 3.5.2. I was obliged to add an extension to get the bookmarks to appear properly, and it is still needed.

Add-Ons Windows

Hi, I noticed that Firefox uses add-ons that are not explicit installed for Firefox. How does that work? It might be that there is a system directory for add-ons, which is used by any browser, so no browser can uninstall these add-ons. Where are they? I'd wish for an option to disable the use of add-ons, that are not explicit installed to the Firefox-directory - does that already exist? Thanks, Phil

file: Protocol / URI scheme.

As many here might know, the state of the file: URI scheme in firefox leaves much to be desired. I ran into the problem trying to develop web pages, realizing I'd probably have to switch to LINUX to be able to have the pages I'm trying to write function properly both locally and over http: because of the hassle it is under Win2k (and probably WinXP and WinVista & Win7 as well). So my questions are: * When is the issue to be resolved? * Is there an addon which might be used to make file: links function properly (not just from the address bar but by clicking on links in a docum

Thunderbird in Firefox

The only thing left to do is to allow Thunderbird to open in a Firefox tab! Like Opera but better!

Drag and drop news-groups in Thunderbird

I think one should be able to drag and drop the news-groups in any order that you want in Thunderbird.

Firefox 3.5 deficiencies

I briefly tried Firefox 3.5b4, and noticed that a couple of things were missing. Why was the throbber removed? I was using that with MR Tech Toolkit to open the config window. Why is there no longer a dialog box to clear private data? Apparently there is no quick way to do that any more, and no way to have Firefox ask you first if you want to do that when it is shut down. Also, Firefox trashed my cookies every time it shut down. What is the big idea of that? I have only cookies that I want, and I want to keep those! It would be nice to have a way to clear the cache when F

Thunderbird: Label outgoing mail

Please make it possible to label outgoing mail. For example; "Awaiting reaction" or "response" And better yet, make it possible to make a reminder: If no reply on 01/01/09 then generate reminder.

Thunderbird addressbook printing

What I'd really like to be able to do is print my addressbook with only 2 fields: name and email address. I would like to be able to print this in tiny print with multiple columns such that I could fit the whole thing on one sheet of paper, possibly double sided, rather than the 50-page tome I'd print if I used the TB printing facility. I've tried exporting and converting the addressbook file in a number of ways -- the best taking a lot of steps and passing the file through several different programs and being a far bigger nuisance than it should be. Am I the only one who'd

Thunderbird: link related messages

Hello group, I would like to have the green and magenta arrows for replied and forwarded messages to be linked to the related messages. So I could directly navigate to my reply to an email. Other way round would also be nice: Having a link at a reply to the original message. What do you think? Emil "nobs" Obermayr

Add run-in boxes support in Firefox

Hello, Granted, they may not really be useful, but why still doesn't Firefox 3 support run-in boxes (http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#x11) ? It seems that they are going to work correctly even in IE 8...

spidermonkey API addition...

I'd love to see a void pointer added to the JSPropertySpec data type so that the functions denoted by "JSPropertyOp getter;" and "JSPropertyOp setter;" could easily know what they are to wrap. This would not only make creating highly generic getter/setters a snap, it would put the relationship where it belongs instead of forcing the API-user to come up with unintuitive (not to mention redundant in the face of an array of JSPropertySpec records) solutions based around tinyid. Some of the solutions I've heard suggested so far are very uncharacteristic of my experience with the spide

Improved Find-in-this-page?

I want to use "search this page" feature with regular expressions or at least something more flexible than is currently available. Maybe there is an extension which can do this, but I haven't found one yet. Anyone recommend something else to do this? thanks

Improved editor

I have used Microsoft Outlook as my default email client since day 1, I think, but left it a couple of months in favour of Mozilla Thunderbird, ago tired of the stability problems in the Outlook Profile handling, (Windows Messaging Subsystem). The move fitted well with my change from POP to IMAP. After three months of using Thunderbird I dare say that the editor (html) is not satisfactory. The paragraph handling leaves a lot to be desired for and I do hope that someone with enough skill can take this one up. Good luck Gorm

Hello everyone, first I want to say a big THANK YOU to all the people providing the public with all this great tools! You rock! Continue rocking in 2009, happy New Year!

webdav

It would be nice to have a _very_simple_ tool to build a webdav calendar server in a Apache/Linux server and make it work from personal to battlestar Galactica sized systems with a good password background, which can be tuned to work with various passwd systems.

Lightning/Sunbird overview page

It would be nice if it would be possible to select an "overview" mode where all the uncompleted tasks up to and including todays date are displayed. They should be displayed as if the tasks were copy-pasted into a word document. This makes it possible to get an overview of todays work to be completed. For example: Task (with link to edit the task): Date: Category: Description: Task (with link to edit the task): Date: Category: Description: Task (with link to edit the task): Date: C

still looking for an mail-style quote-pasting add-on

I am still looking for an add-on which can insert text from the clipboard in email-style (using a quote-marker down the left column), but which allows me to vary the quote-marker easily . This should be for both FF (paste into text fields) as well as TB (paste into emails) Background: I quite often have to insert copied text into either web-interfaces, where I want to have a mail-style quoting and also into forwarded/responses to emails, where I want to distinguish pasted text (from an external source) from what is quoted from the original email. So I want the quotes the 'reply/f

iframe template content into htnl document

As far as I understand it, the template generator creates elements within the XUL DOM Even though its possible to create HTML elements, these are within the XUL dom and therefore the content cannot be printed would it be possible for template builder to recognise wether the containing element is an IFRAME element and build an html document which can then be printed ? <iframe datasources="people.xml" ref="*" querytype="xml"> <template> // html elements </template> </iframe> It appears that all the hard work has b

Embedding metadata when downloading a file

Just posted an idea about embedding metadata in files we download with firefox (http://mholakovsky.blogspot.com/2008/11/history-of- documents.html). The main idea is to keep track where we downloaded a file. At least for image files (JPEG, TIFF) this is achievable by adding XMP (IPTC) container with the entry "xmpMM:DerivedFrom" to the file. This feature should be configurable so every user can choose to enable it. In case one arguments to never touch a original file compare how professional image applications are working. For example Adobe Lightroom is not touching the image cont
