Firefox за Android Community Forum

I heard that Firefox switched CEOs and the new one wants to implement AI. Please, do not do this. The only reason I switched to Firefox was because it was the one place I could disable the AI that pops up in every search! It's also not reliable, and rarely have I ever heard of it resulting in genuine financial gain. I don't think I've ever actually heard of it having genuine financial gain.

Many of us have AI and its features forced down our devices, apps and browsers without the option to opt-out or make a choice, and this makes them run slow and inefficiently becoming unreliable with the additional bloated memory and software.

Firefox claims they're always looking out to protect the privacy and data of their users, but with implementing AI we have the right to doubt this move and consider giving up on Firefox altogether for a more secure, browsing alternative.

Firefox used to be known as a browser you can trust in competition with others to bring an accessible and reliable browsing experience, listening to their customers feedback but as it turns out that'll no longer the case if the new CEO plans to clog it with unnecessary AI features.

I truly hope they see our feedback and pushback because this decision is not an upgrade but a disappointing downgrade.

Listen, I know it's easy to fall into things that have so much hype around them, but I urge you Mozilla, please cancel your plans to integrate "AI" into your browser. You're one of the last good search engines, please, don't take yourself away from me.

It's absolutely bonkers that the only major browser that anti ai ppl use is caving to the dangerous fad of ai garbage. Not only is it putting user privacy and security on the line, it also gives up the biggest thing people choose Firefox over Chrome for. We don't want to be spied on to feed algorithms that funnel our data into greedy companies to make them bigger profits. We want a reliable, safe browser that doesn't sell our data to the highest bidder. Removing that edge is ridiculous and actively enrages the userbase; we will just jump ship and move to a better browser that doesn't use ai.

I use Mozilla specifically to avoid the AI slop Google is pushing. I am deeply disappointed with all the AI scam bloatware suddenly slowing down my devices and compromising the integrity of my devices.

The new CEO is rapidly squandering over 20 years of trust I had in this company.

Deeply disappointed

I just learned the new CEO for Firefox is really all about AI and wanting to go all out... My biggest concern, beyond AI being such an overused unreliable 'tool', is that it'll create more bloat and privacy risks, I just can't trust any program that depends on AI no not be gathering data, and Firefox was my choice browser because it's all about helping your privacy! I'm not sure what other browsers there are that DON'T force AI down their users throats but if Firefox does change its foundation that much, I'll have to go elsewhere. I'm just frustrated and hoping this will not happen.

I don't think any security and privacy aware browser user is using Firefox for access to privacy violating AI. This was the only browser that was still secure and functional and now apparently that's all getting trashed? No one wants AI. Your userbase is using Firefox because it isn't rotted through with AI. So why is Mozilla betraying us all to add AI? Sell outs.

Here's the thing, Firefox isn't preinstalled on any PC or Mac or iOS or Android. This is a userbase that already went out of our way to pivot from the default ecosystem to come to Firefox.

So if you keep pushing this "AI" on folks, they have already proven their ability and readiness to leave.

I've been with Firefox since the big Quantum refresh. I already know what other browsers I can migrate to. And I'm a hobbyist writer who has been one of the many victims of AI companies scraping my work for their models.

Reverse course on this AI push, or not only will I leave but everyone I chat with, every computer in my department at work, we're all out.

Please please please don't fill this browser with AI features.

PLEASE.

It's been so lovely coming over from Chrome.

You have a personality and a reputation here. Why do you want to tarmac over it?

My phone broke down and I had to send it in, for it to be repaired. As usual for warranty repairs the phone needed a factory reset to be sent in. Before doing that I backed up my session using Firefox sync as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/mobile/backup-recovery-and-sync/backup-data That went fine and I could access the data from my PC.

Now my phone returned, I reinstalled firefox yesterday and immediately after signing in, my backup in Sync was overwritten with a blank session. Is there any way to get the old session back?

My bookmarks have disappeared/ not transferred to my android phone, recently bought,

BUT, they have also disappeared off my computer which i have owned for more than five years.

Both are showing that I am signed into my account.

Existing Firefox Desktop user with Mozilla account (which lets me sync bookmarks across several Desktop devices.) New Firefox Android (version 143.0.2) user, logged in with Mozilla account, Desktop bookmarks are accessible now on the Android Firefox installation.

Problem: I'd like keep the folder in which my bookmarks (synced from Desktop --- the folder shows up on Android Firefox as Bookmarks > Desktop Bookmarks > Bookmarks Toolbar > (a set of folders I have on Desktop firefox containing my bookmarks) open after launching a web site from a bookmark stored there.

Observation: Currently after launching a web site from bookmark stored in the above folder, the navigation I made to reach my bookmark folder of choice is no longer open, so I need to repeat the navigation process from the start to get to my bookmark folder (that was synced from Firefox Desktop.)

Alternately: I'd like copy selected bookmarks from my (large) library of bookmarks (synced from Firefox Desktop) onto the home page of Android Firefox but do not see how to do this (I can edit the bookmark where it currently resides on the Android Firefox installation, but I don't see how to make a duplicate copy on the Android Firefox home page listing (and I don't want to delete the existing bookmark(s) on the Android Firefox installation.)

Happy to provide any clarification requested or answer any questions about this request!

Thank you.

I have a web application running in Mozilla Firefox on a handheld device (iData, Android 10).

When the Android virtual keyboard is displayed (triggered by focusing on an input field), the web application is no longer able to receive scan input from the handheld scanner.

The scanner works correctly before the virtual keyboard appears, but once the keyboard is shown, scan events are not captured by the application until the keyboard is dismissed.

This issue impacts workflows that rely on continuous barcode scanning and text input on handheld devices.

When reading Wikipedia pages such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_model_(set_theory), symbols like "∈" are rendered in a font that looks ugly. I thought this was a problem with my Xiaomi phone, but I just found out that my system browser renders the page correctly.

I want to upload screenshots but the page seems to be stuck with the prompt "Uploading "1000003213.jpg"...", so I am going to submit this first and try to add the screenshots later.
