Please I want to remove Ai from Firefox Mozila permanently on Windows 11 for all users/profiles:

I tried a lot of workarounds but they are unsuccessfully: I tried to create extensions (Hide Gemini, AI Google Overview), but they do not work for all users; only profile-based extensions are supported. I tried to use preferences using internal settings on Firefox, but it does not apply to all users. I tried using a script on PowerShell for all users merging internal preferences, but it does not work I copied the local and roaming settings from Firefox to the Default profile, but it was unsuccessful.

I also tried to remove "All" from the search page, but I moved the seach to go to the tab "Web" only.

Thank you for any help and feedbacks. --Rod

I have attached an image of the setting panel that used to have options for the home screen of Firefox. There are no wallpapers to choose from and the Home screen is barren.

I'm using Firefox in a kiosk-mode application, on a Raspberry Pi based system, started from a bash script like this:

# Clear history etc. to prevent problems if unit is not perfectly shut down rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v -r /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/*.default-esr rm -v -r /home/pi/.cache/mozilla/firefox/*.default rm -v /home/pi/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini

sleep 2

/usr/bin/firefox-esr --kiosk -url http://127.0.0.1

However on booting I get a banner from Mozilla along the top of the screen saying: "Firefox automatically sends some data to Mozilla so that we can improve your experience [Choose what I share]"

This is not acceptable in kiosk mode, as it would give users access to the configuration as well as being a visual annoyance. How can we disable this?

I don't want to change the way my browser is now working, especially by some unknown AI system. Tell me how to stop or delete the new unwanted option.

I left Win Edge last year because they do the same " I(MPROVEMENTS" that I did not want. Shame on Mozilla for doing the same thing!

I used once entering about about:config to enable DOT setting in my android phone but have not yet completed network.trr.uri.Later on, tried to do it but cannot access using about:config any more. Please advise, as your recent online instruction allow windows laptop to set automatically using security and privacy to go to Https setting to enable it. Not so, for android devices, even using chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtmi, it does not go directly to enable Https setting. Any recent updates to do it. I understand that the restrictions are good to prevent most users and not developers to adjust the defaults. But why not making simpler only for most users to tweak or enable DOT setting, just like brave. Thank you for your understanding and attention. Regards Francis

Latest update changed it so that URLs are not shown in the address bar unless a button is clicked. How to restore URLs being shown by default?

Please note: below question is similar but not the same. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1493782

so in the top right there is "Finish setup", i have marked all things, beside "Import previous browser"... the problem is.... what previous browser?... it is a fresh installed system, i have no file to import, and for whatever reason i can not skip it, which doesn't make sense... cuz firefox works without those imports... so why do i get forced to import them... i do not have anything... the annyoing part it... when i click on it, firefox says something "couldn't find files"... which sould be a deead giveaway that i don't have any, it it just should move one... i tired to disable it in about:config, i tried to edit ~/.mozilla, did not work... i just have that super annyoing text at the top, where i have zero change of removing.... why don't you just add a "skip button"... is taht to much to ask?

Translation feature is not working here: https://yoyaku.ariake-ferry.com/ReservationSelectDay.aspx

Even though it is working perfectly fine on their homepage. Hopefully Mozilla can fix this.

In the mean time: how can I *force* the translation feature to appear?

Why it disappeared? It was always there. I am logged in Pocket and tried to restart Firefox. Maybe it has to something do with recently added AI side panel? It seems that since then my Pocket icon is missing. Browser version: 140.0.2 (64-bit) OS: Linux Mint MATE 21.3 (Virginia) Kernel: 5.15.0-143-generic

Like the title says.

I used to have a Pocket icon. Yes, I know it's going away.

I'd like to use the TenTabs icon. Where is it?

And if you tell me it's on the "Customize Toolbar", I can tell you that, no, it is not.

Help?
