&gt; More streamlined menus that reduce visual clutter and prioritize top user actions so you can get to the important things quicker.<p>Why not just copy and improve Vivaldi and allow users to easily rename&#x2F;move&#x2F;delete the menus? You wouldn&#x27;t know what a specific user&#x27;s top actions are

Vertical tabs are coming back, finally... I still miss this tree tab extension I was using maybe 7 years ago.

The thing I would love to see the most is full shortcut management.<p>1. Configure which shortcuts override web page shortcuts. (Ex: Can&#x27;t open history on Google Docs)<p>2. Customize shortcuts arbitrarily (add&#x2F;remove&#x2F;remap defaults). Bonus points for vim-style shortcuts being possible.<p>3. Shortcuts for JS&#x2F;bookmarkets.

Great news. FFs UI has been falling behind the other browsers lately and vertical tabs is something I really like.<p>Good that they also want to include tab groups so there’s hope this will work like Tree Style Tabs. That extension is probably the gold standard when it comes to tab organization.

Vertical&#x2F;Grouped tabs would be major. All I want after that is a way to switch profiles from the browser like literally any other browser does.

How about making Firefox compatible with Tab Mix Plus again? As in, open up the API again?<p>I consider TBP to be the second most important extension that I could possibly install, right after uBlock, but getting it to work correctly is a bit of a slog due to how tabs have been isolated and restricted from the API.<p>It’s not hyperbole that my entire usage of FF rests upon the functionality of TBP.

Firefox has a way of organizing bookmarks on its Android version known as Collections. It works really well and I wish they would bring it to their iOS and desktop versions. Bookmark management needs to evolve.

What would dramatically increase my user experience is <i>removing</i> the absolutely pointless keyboard shortcuts from the browser. For example, nobody needs ctrl-s to download the html source of a page. (It’s especially annoying for users like me because it’s reflexive to type ctrl-s when editing large blocks of text.)

Native vertical tabs. About time! I hope they can match Sidebery’s functionality.

Really happy that they are finally improving multi-profile support

Funneling money and resources away from Firefox and towards C-suite&#x27;s pet projects?<p>&gt;&quot;More streamlined menus that reduce visual clutter and prioritize top user actions so you can get to the important things quicker.&quot;<p>Oh, so towards making Firefox actively worse, got it.
