Develop a Mozilla base app for Firefox.
See developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/apps. These are installable on Firefox OS, and via the Firefox web browser. These may be mobile only or for Firefox as well. Firefox OS apps can still be installed via the Firefox browser and are similar to Google Chrome apps. If written for HTML5, the code should be virtually identical for Chrome and Firefox.

Darken sliders on magnum theme
From a visual Hierarchy thought process, the sliders/scrollbars on magnum theme should be darker so that the eyes are directed towards the feeds and posts rather than the scrollbars.
1 voteWe’ll put this design suggestion under consideration.

Allow automatic embedding for all video players when posting to Facebook
At this time you do not support automatic embedding for all video players which make some pages unplayable on facebook in secure mode (HTTPS)
1 voteThanks for the clarification. We’ll look at the possibility of better video embedding within the restrictions of the Facebook API.

I would really love to be able to assign my team members tweets and Facebook updates that they WRITE up, not respond to..
I would like to assign my team members to write up Facebook posts and Twitter updates. And get emails when they complete them so I can schedule them.
1 voteThis is a great suggestion for team management.

I would pay alot more if there is lifetime purchase rather then $6 a month.
I love the app but upgrading to pro I was discouraged to sign a $6 subscription. I rather prefere to pay more as time fee.

Connect to other LinkedIn users directly from HootSuite
I would like a member of my team to be able to connect to other LinkedIn users on my behalf, without me having to give out my account password.
1 voteInteresting idea! We’ll see if this is possible through the LinkedIn API. Thanks!

Really need a pop-up window like Tweetdeck has, or I miss posts. Window should have full functionality (ability to edit/RT on the fly)
Twitter ruined Tweetdeck when they bought it, so I started using Hootsuite. I'd dump tweetdeck completely if Hootsuite offerred a pop-up window, with optional sounder. I could edit/RT, follow and block from the old version of Tweetdeck but not the new. I'd dump Tweetdeck if Hootsuite offerred this function.

Hi there! To clarify, when you get a new tweet, you’d like to have a new window pop up that you could respond to the tweet directly in? Thanks for the feedback!

More Filters for the Assignments view
I recommend adding more Filters to the Assignments view so that you can see a"Master view" of all Team Members' Assignments for all Social Networks. Right now, you have to select one Social Network at a time and this is tedious if you have a lot of Social Networks to manage.
1 voteThis would be a great feature for Assignments.

Posts from Hootsuite to Wordpress currently shows up as a 'Standard fomat' post, even though I have as a default a 'Link' format for all new
Posts from Hootsuite to Wordpress currently shows up as a 'Standard fomat' post, even though I have as a default a 'Link' format for all new posts. Can you have the post follow the default setting? Standard format does no look right, the title is shortened, and it’s just not the way I want the post to appear.

Hi there! Is this for the self hosted WordPress app, or for the native WordPress.com integration?

Hi Jeremy! Is this when posting from the web dashboard to a WordPress.com blog, or through the self hosted blog WordPress app?

Ability to manage permissions at a stream-level
Much like managing users permission level, add the ability to manage permissions for each stream in a Hootsuite account.
1 voteThis would be a wonderful enhancement to our Team functions.

Allow "Limited" team members to be able to Retweet from other accounts within the same organization
So, if account A tweets something out, someone with Limited access to account B can retweet it. You could do an RT-style retweet, and have that be authorized, but you can't do a web retweet
1 voteWe’ll consider extending Limited permissions further.

Sort Events by Event Dates
The Events Stream for Facebook does not seem to sort the events by the date of the event and then separate those that have been answered from those that are answered.
1 voteThis is a great suggestion.

Allow the compose area to fit in single-column view.
I keep hootsuite on the right side of my desktop with just the home feed column exposed. This is similar to the single-column view I used in Tweetdeck. Everything works except composing a message. I have to widen my window to see the entire compose area and the submit button. It would be great if these shrank to fit if the window is reduced to one column wide.
1 voteWould like to further examine the use case scenarios for this suggestion.

Include links in Facebook Insights : Daily Page Activity
The majority of posts I do on Facebook include links. When I use the analytics for daily page activity you only report photos, videos, and wall posts. Facebook distinguishes links as a type of post so why is this not measured? Thank you for your consideration.
1 voteWe hope to further enhance Facebook analytics.

Favorite button
The favorite button should be lit yellow when they are a favorite. If I want to select/deselect them then it should do so and show status. The right favorite across the profile in my Colima should reflect stays. Especially fav column. Right no it is unreliable,
1 voteWe’re always looking at ways to extend Twitter functionality.

Disable the possibility to send tweets that exceed 140 characters.
If you disable the possibility to send tweets that exceed 140 characters you prevents messages being posted that are only partly visible. It is easy to miss the counter and send a message that is too long. Especially when you use Hootsuite for both Facebook and Twitter.
1 voteGreat idea! We’ll look at making this an option for users in the future.

Move the login button closer to top center of screen
I have a mini-notebook with a tiny screen. For some reason, I cannot see the login button when I visit hootsuite.com home page. I think it is because the screen resolution cuts off the far right and far left of the screen. If you could move the login box closer to the center top of the page, then I could login from my eee pc.
