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.

I noticed recently, that you cannot copy and paste with the right click mouse buttons and seems to want me to use the Cntrl C and Cntrl V. Is there some way to re enable that on the mouse? It works in every other application except firefox, and I would prefer to use the mouse, as I am the most comfortable with that.

"List All Tabs" button reappears after being removed when switching tab groups

Hello,

I’m using Firefox together with the "Simple Tab Groups" extension. When I remove the "List All Tabs" button from the toolbar (right-click → “Remove from Toolbar”), it disappears as expected. However, after switching between tab groups in Simple Tab Groups, the button automatically reappears on the toolbar.

Is there a way to completely prevent this button from returning, even in such cases? I would like it to remain removed permanently until I manually restore it.

If there is currently no way to achieve this, is it something that could be expected in future browser updates?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards, Dmitrii

How to stop firefox from prompting me with this pop up (see attachment). I already removed the whatsapp app from firefox, it's still not working as it used to be which is to start whatsapp conversation directly in the web. It's annoying because the app is so easy to install but hard to remove. Firefox should do something about this.

How can I pass the full url to the AI prompt?

I've found out that you can create custom prompts for the AI sidebar with the configuration `browser.ml.chat.prompts.*`. Usually, this is done with the selection text. However, I'd like to pass the URL instead. I could use `%url%`, but that does not include parameters after `?` and hence does not work for Youtube.

Is there any variable that I can use to pass the full URL including parameters of the URL?
