Forced update when automated updates were not selected
Hi, I noticed that my Firefox version has just been force-updated, on two of my computers, even though I had the automated updates unselected. I also noticed that the new version had added an opt-out option to use "AI" for my tabs which I do not want. There may be other settings that have appeared like this forcing "AI" on me and I am not going to check all of them. I will uninstall Firefox as it is no longer respecting my privacy and autonomy as a user, following the full-blown embrace of "genAI" which goes completely opposite Firefox values such as privacy, ethics, environmental responsibility and respect of their users. I might come back when Firefox goes back to being a privacy and environmentally-friendly browser.

Firefox keeps deleting the policies files. Mozilla is hijacking people's computers to force their updates, force stopping your browser from working to force these updates whenever they feel like it. In the middle of working on a dedicated server problem my fucking browser just stops and says "restart now to continue using" because those jackasses think they own your computer and can delete files on it willy nilly.
