Why a browser needs AI? I don't want this, turn this off, completely.

The settings page is vaguely providing an option to turn off this feature. I don't care what you want to call it, be it AI/ML/chatbot, it's not related to browsing the internet and I don't want it. I don't want it to consume ANY resources of my computer, I don't want it to exist in my computer unless I EXPLICITLY use it, I don't want to be FORCED to go and search everything in about:config page to get it completely (probably) deactivated. Provide a button that DOES deactivate and hide (without running it in the background either) the whole AI/ML/chatbot integration. I don't want to use it, again, I don't want it being shoved in my face or my computer against my will. Firefox IS a web browser. Otherwise, let's stop making any kind of websites (eshops, newspapers, social media and other) since they will not be browsed by people that want to browse the web, since the web browser decided to put AI in front of everything to consume everyone's content and dictate their own design, alignments caused by bias disagreements etc etc.

Firefox crashing when switching input language

Hello,

I've been having this problem recently on Windows 11 with Firefox, where switching my input language to japanese (ALT + SHIFT keys) causes the browser to crash immediately. This happens about half to one third of the times I do it. It didn't happen before and I'm rather confused.

Searching on Google brought up a few similar experiences, such as this one, but the suggested fix (switching intl.tsf.enable to false on the about:config page) didn't work for me.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you very much in advance 😊

I did not click to allow it through the firefall. The firefox I was using was connecting to the internet fine. (Despite the pop up saying it was blocked on both private and public networks.)

I can guess the video player app is being used in some kind of attack.

Btw I googled this and saw others complaining about it but basically no info.

I have two computers. I logged into my account on each. However now the bookmarks are different on each computer. Completely rearranged. Also, the banking window had it's own logins and passwords, but now they are all intermixed. I just want it to work the way it did before.
