Firefox Community Forum

Some of the installations seem to be blocked by Microsoft if you are using a Microsoft system. If the Software being downloaded is not sold by Microsoft store, Microsoft blocks it or deforms it. During any update, Microsoft removes MusicBee and some other software not purchased from Microsoft store

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...

This falls under: Accesibility, or passswords, or privacy & security... Or, this fumbducker shosn't doe nit. Anyhow, if you've more smarts and knowledge than me, I need to solve the above mentioned problem. Many thanks.

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.

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 am so disappointing in the CEO's decision to push AI. Firefox has a very dedicated following BECAUSE it does not push AI and all the other shady things other Browsers push. Everyone I know will stop using Mozilla browsers if they continue on in implementing AI.

I have spent so many hours deleting every sneaky file, disabling every program, having all firewalls block any AI. (I really do need to switch to Linux with the amount of time I spend on this lol...)

How do we contact the higher ups? If large numbers of users emailed/heck even wrote (making a point that we will delete our Mozilla accounts if AI happens) maybe it could help? Or a petition?

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.

Since I updated my computer to windows 11, I cannot load my amazon page. I've tried to load directly from menu bar, still NG. There must be a setting I'm not understanding

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.

It is a million times easier to avoid AI on browsers that simply do not use it, or that make it a fully opt-in feature, than to use an AI browser and then need to opt out.

I have been a fan and user of firefox for many years and recommended it to many others, but if it becomes an opt-out AI browser I and many others will be leaving.

This is not only frustrating to the users who need to move, but an unfortunate step backwards for the browser that has garnered a good reputation and dedicated userbase.

How can we stop firefox from adding AI features, or at the very least make them Opt-in?

Firefox is diverting known safe sites stating they are dangerous and then redirects to http://147.45.69.3/ which in turns send you to other sites. It also happens in Chrome so they must use the same system. The sites are totally safe I use them all the time but lately get redirected and it is getting very annoying
