MB is telling me to put MB on Firefox! BUT, I already have MB on Firefox. Can you help me.

Thank you,

The only reason I even use Firefox is to avoid AI slop. Way to take a hammer to your own nuts, Firefox. If the new CEO intends to continue implementing AI "improvements" to the browser, I'm done.

I am unable to send tabs from my desktop devices to Firefox on my Android device.

- All devices are logged into Firefox Sync. - Sending tabs from Android to desktop works fine. - Attempting to send a tab from desktop to Android, nothing happens. Have tried with multiple different tabs from multiple desktop devices, it never makes it to my Android device. - Synced tabs works fine. I can see the open tabs on all my devices from all my other devices, and it stays up to date. - Have tried logging out of sync and logging back in. Didn't fix the issue.

Desktop devices are running Firefox v146.0.1 on Windows Android device is running v146.0.1 on Android 16 (Pixel 8 Pro)

I, among many of my peers, have spent the last few years struggling to get rid of unwanted AI in our lives and computers, scraping out information and invading our privacy like a virus. So many Firefox users chose Firefox BECAUSE it had no forced AI. We chose Firefox BECAUSE it doesn't steal our data or invade our privacy.

We have trusted Mozilla for years and heralded it as the only good browser left. We're begging you to not do this. The AI bubble will pop. Everyone is mad about this. Do not do this. Please.

Using your browser as my default and going to https://bracingviews.substack.com/p/yes-its-about-the-oil, https://jonathancook.substack.com/p/western-elites-fear-a-globalised and https://georgehazim.substack.com/p/murdochs-australian-manufacturing, regular sites where I comment often, since Thursday there's no visible button to post my comment. Never encountered that before.

Using another browser, I can comment in Jonathan Cook and George Hazim's Blog but not in Bracing Views

Firefox is already a product that works and is probably the best alternative to any of the other major browsers out there. It's a product that I've been happy to use for many, many years. So why is it being ruined by this needless push to add in "AI"? I don't want it. I don't want any part of it to touch my experience using this browser. I want either an easy way to completely turn it off so it can't suck up my data and expose my private information, or not have it be included at all. I will actively be looking for alternative browsers if these plans continue.

I am having an intermittent problem with bookmarks not loading when I open Firefox.

Is there a fix for this?

I have noticed that a lot of answers on here refer to features that no longer exist in settings.

Mini tanx,

I've used Firefox for a long time because it's been one of the few browsers that doesn't force features that harm its users onto the userbase. It's been leagues beyond the majority for that long time! The introduction of AI features over time has been a bell ringing for the loss of that thoughtful approach to aiding the users. AI in browsers has been used by malicious third parties to steal the data of anyone who visits specific sites, it's prone to misinformation when used to summarize anything, and simply doesn't add any value to the browsing experience. It gets in the way and slows it down, even! If more AI features are added, I will be finding a different browser to use.

Where sis my bookmarks go. I don't have time to screw around with hunting it down. It was here yesterday. Today it is gone. I've tried to restart, I've tried help, I've tried all the list of things but the bookmark on the header thingy has disappeared.

All of a sudden I can no longer add bookmarks to my Firefox desktop. At this point I can not even access the "Bookmark current tab." Are there settings that control the Bookmarks section. Thank you
