Safari lets you select autocomplete items and emojis, it would be cool if Firefox could get this as well.

I would love if this was implemented in Firefox, especially for the Emoji picker!

I too would love improved Touch Bar support in Firefox!

Especially for the typing suggestions! I tend to type workplace jargon a lot and macOS does a good job of predicting when I'd like to type something like FoobarFizzBuzzAbstractFactoryThingymabober again-and-again.

Typing suggestions help me be more precise in my writing, while maintaining a fast writing speed -- because acronyms/short-hand can introduce ambiguity.

I believe resolving this bug would greatly improve the productivity of many FireFox users because good writing/communication leads to less back-and-forth messages, which results in better work getting done.

Emoji picker is just a cherry on top.

Hey. Any news here? "Opened 3 years ago"
Users still cant use "typing suggestions". It is very frustrating.
This function already supported in Chrome (for years) and in Safari since touchbar was presented.

Since Apple hasn't produced touchbar macs in a while I don't think we're adding more features to touchbar support.
