I'm not a computer programmer, or an expert, just a user with a little bit of knowledge. I've just looked at your answer to the missing icon problem. You suggested refreshing Fire Fox. This sounds like a brilliant answer to my problem, but you missed out the crucial steps to how to do this. This isn't the first time I've felt like hurling objects at my computer after trying to follow your trouble shooting instructions.

These steps might seem obvious to your software technicians, but many of us are oblivious on how to do these simple things. Could you please pretend that we are all computer illiterate, and include the final steps in your answers. If you don't like writing the same thing over and over again, could you please just paste a link at the end on "How to Refresh Firefox."

Thanks!

PS I'm running Windows 11 on a Dell Latitude laptop, using the brand new Firefox version. (As of yesterday.)

Hi Firefox community,

I’m not your usual tech influencer or a corporate “enthusiast”—I’m just a longtime open source user who’s spent more than a few years behind the veiled curtain, watching how this world of software and possibility unfolds. I love what Mozilla does for users like me. That’s exactly why I want to raise something: I keep seeing the word “chatbot” show up for Firefox’s new AI-powered assistants (like the sidebar and what’s coming next). But let’s be honest—“chatbot” belongs to the days of robotic customer service and scripted dead-ends.

What we have now in Firefox—powered by real LLMs (Large Language Models)—is a whole different species. Calling these assistants “chatbots” just doesn’t fit. It sells short what LLM-based assistants can do: they’re powerful, context-aware, and, at times, strikingly human in their conversation. New users might miss the true magic if we stick to old language. So why not call them “AI assistants,” “LLM-powered assistants,” or just “AI” instead? It would help everyone see the progress, and show how Mozilla’s still leading, not just catching up.

I’ll leave it open for discussion, but I hope others feel this shift too. Language shapes how we see these things—and sometimes it takes a Singular Fella (or maybe two) to nudge the world past old memes. Thanks for hearing me out, and here’s to a future where our assistants, and our words, keep getting smarter.
