How do I search x-rated or violent content with the Firefox browser without Google safe search puritans blocking my every attempt to do so. I don't what I've done or how to change it. I am just going around in circles of frustration. Good lord it's like I'm back into the puritanical dark age. PLEASE HELP.

I have an app on my tablet that requires permissions, but the app doesn't specify which permissions it needs or how to set those permissions. How do I find what permissions the app needs and how do I set them?

Thanks.

I have set my account to "Don't delete any messages", because I frequently want to reread a deleted message in my Trash folder. However, when I go into my Trash folder to search for a deleted message, I am finding that messages older than a certain date have disappeared, although I've done nothing to permanently delete them. For example, today everything older than May 3 is gone. What can I do to prevent this?

thanks, CW

Can we quit with bringing in AI?

Holy hell, this is an awful idea. Firefox has been like, the most widely-supported and accessible competitor to Chrome that hasn't started pawning off data willy-nilly, and now your investor-pickled brain is deciding to add the Unethical Slop Generator built in? Fuck off. Pull anything, and you're losing customers.

Please don't fucking add more AI bullshit into the browser version of firefox im begging. I swtiched to firefox instead of chrome because you guys had LESS issues but now you're adding MORE issues. I'm gonna switch to something else if you do this. AI is not gonna help you in the long run. Bye.

I was upset to learn that Firefox is moving toward the implementation of more AI features. I use Firefox on mobile and desktop, as well as on my personal devices and on my work devices for web development. I chose Firefox over its competitors because of its user-first policies and dedication to an open and free internet - this move toward AI goes directly against this. I hope this message will help to convince the decision makers at Mozilla that their users DON'T want AI and specifically choose them as one of the only non-AI browsers out there!

I think you should consider launching your new CEO out of a canon, metaphorically speaking.

If people wanted AI slop shoved in their faces, they'd go use a crappy chromium browser, which is where that stuff lives. We use Firefox because we don't want any of that crap in our browsing experience. "As long as you can trust it" - who does this guy think he is? You can't 'trust' AI, it's not a person, it's a tool (implement) used by tools (inept idiot).

You also can't trust corporations that pivot to AI, either. If you want to double down on anything relating to AI, then double down on keeping Firefox AI slop free, and ensuring that you are the browser for those that need refuge from this crap.

I remember when Firefox really was a nonprofit that survived on donations from its users, rather than just another corporate shill for companies and LLMs.

Be better. You disappoint me.

I moved to Firefox because it wasn't obsessed with AI like the other browsers. If you continue with this evil plan, you will lose customers and that it both a promise and threat. Your CEO has said it's AI you can trust, ignoring all the other concerns people have with AI, like:

Water Usage Copyright breaches Hallucinations Loss of Quality Privacy breaches Storage and use of personal data, including search results and browsing Influence of racist and misogynist content from the internet on machine learning Environmental impact of the data servers to host AI A severe lack of regulations and protections regarding the above


Do NOT make this an AI browser. Your new CEO knows nothing of your market and audience and it will be your downfall.
