This is both a settings issue, and a privacy and security issue. I want to disable the google lens context menu item to protect my security and privacy from constant AI monitoring. I've almost accidentally clicked the new option before and I don't want to send photos or images to google's AI unless I specifically intend to do so.

I feel like Mozilla is interfering with people's privacy more and more, taking away features from their users, adding features we don't want, butting in and telling us how our browsers should work. This is starting to become absurd. Now you've added AI into the browser that can control how your tabs are displayed and named even, a setting I found while trying to disable Google Lens.

There's a couple other settings I need to figure out how to disable too, such as the context menu of translate and the ChatGPT context menu items. I just removed ChatGPT and a new AI chat bot option appeared. Just wow. What the hell Mozilla. Is your intention to just turn your browser into one big spyware?

Give me the option to disable all of this stuff you keep adding. I have a policy thats supposed to disable your auto updates too but YOU disabled that as well allowing you to install all this malware/spyware into my machine without my authorization.

I despise ai in every use and way with a passion. Now, it gets spammed everywhere on this browser, with no apparent way to disable and/or remove that filth. I don't want to see it, ever! Why is it even on by default??? I don't want "chatbots", "Ai assistants" or any of that shit at all.

Mouse scroll wheel "effects" are driving me nuts

I admit, I don't read about updates so I don't know when Firefox did all these "enhancements"...but I'd love to know how to turn my mouse wheel BACK into a "scroll through the page" only function. I hate it auto opening links, I hate it scrolling through tabs. I suspect it of doing other "helpful" functions...and I can't even find the right words to do a search for this. The only applicable setting I found is "autoscroll"...which is turned off in my preferences...and which the browser STILL does.

All I want is for my wheel to scroll through the page...under my control. No auto-stuff. There's no setting for this in my mouse controls, as far as I've been able to determine, and it didn't used to do this. It must be in a Firefox update. Is this even possible any longer? Or am I, after decades with Firefox, going to have to change browsers? At this point, I've had far too many important operations disrupted and even fouled by this "helpful" change.

Pleeeease help?

How to change the Google account on the sidebar's Gemini chatbot

So I have two Google accounts, let's call them Antelope and Bear. Antelope is my "main" account, but I use Bear for a lot of things too, which includes Gemini. So, if I want to use the Gemini chatbot option on Firefox's sidebar, it would make the most sense to use it under my Bear account, since that way I can access my previous chats and all that. However, when I open the Gemini chatbot, it automatically logs me in as Antelope. And when I click on the account's profile picture to swap to Bear, it instead opens the Gemini site on a new tab, in which I am indeed logged in as Bear, but the sidebar remains stuck on the Antelope account. I've tried the "reload Gemini" option, restarting Firefox, and clearing the cache, but nothing works. I think I could fix it by logging out of both accounts, then logging in only as Bear, letting the sidebar "grab" that account, and then logging in as Antelope, but I wanted to know if there's an easier/cleaner way to go about it. Thank you in advance.

How do I change the email account inserted by Firefox when I click on an email link?

I have previously changed the main email address (added secondary address, swapped secondary for primary, deleted secondary) but when I click an email link in a web page to write an email to the web page business, the old deleted email account is used instead of the new one. This old address is not listed at all as far as I have seen in my Mozilla Account.

Hello!

I've noticed that certain pages on my website, facla.ro, appear differently in Firefox compared to other browsers like Edge and Chrome. Specifically, the layout of embedded content, such as Google Docs in iframes, looks distorted or has different formatting. Could this be related to screen resolution or browser rendering? Is there a way to improve compatibility and ensure consistent appearance across browsers, especially in Firefox? Any suggestions from the Mozilla community or specific settings in Firefox that could help optimize this?

Hi Mozilla,

i stumbled upon an extension called 'unhook' which allows to hide a wide selection of content from my view on youtube. This is amazing! Now I can watch my favourite channels without annoying stuff on every side. I would really appreciate to have something of this kind as a native feature in Firefox. So please consider this a suggestion right away or point me towards the place where I can suggest this feature correctly - if there is such.

Thanks a lot for Firefox!
