Chase bank has recently put a front end check that blocks all users with Windows 7 ,8 ,8.1. They have a page that says the browsers need to be changed to ones supported, yet they ignore the version of the browser "Firefox Setup 115.31.0esr.exe" which Mozilla updates monthly for security fixes. Thus they are effectively forcing anyone that bought a computer from 10/22/2009 to 01/10/2023 14 years.

I would like to know the number of users that are using the Firefox Setup 115.31.0esr release so that I can make Chase aware of how many home users they are impacting with this front end block to logging into Chase for our checking, savings, credit cards and mortgages. With some actual numbers they may reverse this problem by simply removing the front end check of windows version before allowing user login.

Without some idea of the potential number of users being blocked from access, they may just continue to ignore us.

And now that Windows 10 is not longer a supported version of Windows, will that be next. Steven Hudson [edited email from community support forum]

Mozilla's business model of not providing actual technical support for Firefox is the reason I will look for other browsers to use. If enough users avoid Firefox, their advertising revenues will dry up, and they will either go out of business, or start caring about their users. This is a horrible, unsustainable business model. business model.

The push for more AI is absolutely asinine. Mozilla has been my first and only choice for ages because I trust them to have the best interests of their consumers at heart. This push towards more AI is going to kill the fans of Mozilla. It’s insane that they would read the room with the failures of Copilot among other things and go “yea, sign us up for that.” I understand this is a company driven by profits, but dear god this is a terrible terrible move and I expect the fallout of this decision to be swift and severe.

I left chrome and chromium browsers for firefox when it got recommended to me because the main selling point was no AI and no unnecessary bloating functions that slowed it down and that made searches accurate and reliable. Please, instead of trying to add more AI into it, work on removing what you've already implemented.

I WISH THAT FIREFOX WOULD CHANGE THE ADS THEY ALLOW. SHOWING PANTIES WITH OBSCENE STATEMENTS IS BORDERING ON PORNOGRAPHY! SPECIFICALLY WOMEN'S PANTIES WITH STATEMENTS OF CUM AND ONLY DAVID CAN ENTER HERE! CHILDREN GET INTO THESE! IF IT DOES NOT BEFORE THURSDAY I SHALL SPREAD THE WORD AND NO LONGER USE FIREFOX!

I need step by step instructions in order to make the changes that Mozilla/Firefox wants me to do. I have also been having medical issues which is affecting me mentally. Right now I am totally confused, and I don't know what to do.

Like many others, I had switched over to Firefox because it was the most secure and AI-free option out there. I was willing to accept there would be minimal AI "features" as long as I was able to disable them immediately, which I did. Pushing for more will only alienate the users and make the overall user experience worse. I am tired of checking every second picture if it's AI generated. I am tired of seeing AI generated articles. I never read the AI summaries because who knows when they'll tell me to add glue to my pizza to make the cheese stick more. We already have studies that show generative AI affects an individual's capacity for thought. I have people in my life that are being affected by it. Firefox, being the only non-Chromium based browser, is basically a beacon of normalcy in all this bullshit. Don't mess up the trust of your community by stooping so low. If we wanted AI slop we would be using Google Chrome.

Just wanted to add my voice and say that I'm seriously disappointed with the change in the company's stance regarding generative AI. I only started using firefox recently, specifically because it doesn't shove AI slop down my throat, and of course that's already changing. The literal only consolation is that it sounds like I'll be able to turn it off in settings, but that isn't good enough. At this rate the enshittification of the entire internet is looking inevitable...

I switched to Firefox on all devices for its better performance and better privacy, and of course it not having a gross amount of AI shoved into it. I work very well with this browser without AI, adding more of it will simply ruin the experience completely. Many people use Firefox because they wish to avoid AI from the start, Firefox shines thanks to this and should openly express how it won't fall into the same trap. Don't let this become every other browser.
