It's not mentioned in comment 0, but Limi intended for people to nominate bugs for tracking in the comments; he and the UX team will add them to the dependency list if they feel that the bug is of sufficient value and quality. (Removing recent addition of bug 17754)

I'm finding valid issues in cuts-control to add into Project QX(Bug 1244854). Let's try to fix them and make thing happen. At the same time, I'll close invalid issues.
Can you please add to the list of bugs blocking this bug? Bug 1390490 - "middle" or command-clicking on link opens new "pop up" window, instead of opening link in new tab

Summary: Paper cuts: Being in Control → [meta] Paper cuts: Being in Control

So much control over the browser was lost in 2017 with introduction of WebExtensions.
We need session management API and some related projects to be completed (some bugs are marked as closed):

Depends on: 1553260, Session_managers, 1378651, 1381922, 1404626, 1373490, mult_sessions_API, mult_sessions1, 1235231, tab-unloading, 1450382, 1475240, 1226546, 1333837, 1320585, 1215064

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372650 is missing (badly) here.

Related to the summary, and to give you an impression from a long term Firefox user to this general topic: not being able to restore the last session correctly for about 13 years now results in a deep love-hate relationship, that average users typically solve by moving away (given they don't have a strong enough masochistic streak).

The only reason to stick with Firefox is, that the alternatives are even more evil.

Now imagine, how big the gain could be to make those frustrated users happy campers again!

Could you add this https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1485683 to the list?

Does anyone know if it's on schedule to work on "enhancements" (aka stuff they broke when changed to web extensions mainly) or if all this depends solely on the good will of random contributors?

It would be nice if they could assign people check and decide if a feature is going to be considered for implementation or not and then assign other people to do "enhancements" to try to clear features that people have been asking for years. If there is no direction and works gets depending on if a random contributor want's to work on it or not we end up with 10+ year threads like this one.
