It's possible that I misread the documentation, but I looked for a response to this question for 20 minutes, and I couldn't find a 100% clear answer about my question when it comes to Firefox for Android.

Say I install an extension on Firefox for Android, that requires permission just for a specific website (e.g. let's say, for example, it's an add-on for blocking automated translations on youtube, with permission scope restricted to youtube only). Later, the extension automatically updates itself (as apparently, it's not possible to disable automated updates for extensions on Firefox for Android). The update now includes a larger permission scope, for example permissions for some other websites, or even the permission to "Access your data for all websites".

My questions are:

Is this scenario possible? If so, will I be notified of the changes in permission scope? Would I be able to block the update in this case?

Thank you.

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?

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.

I am so tired of everything getting some half baked language learning model shoved into it where it doesn't need anything. This browser used to be the safe alternative that won't sell your data. Its the main reason i switched to it. Now our data is being fed to a stupid AI.

I already turned off everything relating to it. But I shouldn't have had to. This sucks.

In the instructions says if you want to pair the device is to open Firefox on Android, press the "3 dots button" and click Ready to Scan button, but if I do that there is no such option there at all.

I am doing this signed-in into my Mozilla account.

Thanks in advance, Tadej Peršič from Slovenia 🇸🇮

I've got a very annoying bug in Firefox for Android. A lot of times it registers a tap as a pull from the top which results in a page refresh. This happens for example when I try to open hamburger menu's on websites.

I've added the app version details for more information.

Could you please have a look at this bug?

Poor *Cache* management is the main issue for me for starting... The *fevicons(app icons)* got disappeared after clearing cache and fetching fevicons is also hit & miss... The tabs frequently reloads even after only few minutes of inactivity or after opening other app for something like opening WhatsApp for reading message, then it get reloaded and progress get lost in critical things like filling forms...

• Shortcuts* menu on Homepage is limited to 16 and unallocated icons got filled with history, why!

Toolbar should be more thin and URI bar should be more broad, *Reader Mode* icon should be shifted to main menu... Dark mode for websites should apply without reloading tabs... Download manager is still poor, the queued items sticks to the notification panel and can't be removed even after pausing, it is only removing by deleting it...

Sync has been mostly usable the past 2 yrs and now all my data is randomly gone. I had a android and desktop syncing and nothing else. Are there backups or previous versions of saved data? This right here is what I feared for so many years.... Where's my data? Don't send me generic answers. Is there a backup on a server or not? If so give it up

STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP page reloads after losing and regaining focus! This bug makes it impossible to use FF for any tasks that require external authentication and is simply incredibly annoying!

i chose firefox for the customization and privacy features. you built this browser's user base on your dedication to protecting our data, time to follow up. how will you protect user privacy when LLMs and generative AI feed endlessly on our data? why boast customization and then add a feature that cannot be modified or turned off in a simple, accessible manner? i fear for the safety of my data and privacy with the addition of AI features. if this integration is not cancelled, i will be deleting firefox.
