I pay for Firefox to be PRIVATE, not AI INTEGRATED
I genuinely don’t know where else to post this so it gets seen. I have been a devout user of Firefox for years. I love this browser. I love its dedication to privacy and functionality. I love how it has kept true to its concept and customers in the face of tech crazes like NFTs and AI integrations. I am such a hardcore proseletyzer of Firefox that I started paying for Mozilla VPN to support Firefox!!
So when I see that the new CEO, Anthony Enzor-DeMeo, is “doubling down” on AI integrations for Firefox, I AM LIVID. AI is NOT private. AI is NOT secure. And AI is TERRIBLE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
AI causes slower speed and longer load times. I have seen this in all my job’s internet workings (they insist on using browsers with AI integrations) and have felt a quiet relief that I get to come home to my good, simple browser.
AI is not private. It tracks and stores data in order to give suggestions “better for you”. And with the right prompts, anyone can pull that data.
Y’all really all read that one story of AI deleting the company’s ENTIRE DATABASE AND COMPUTER PROGRAMMING because it “panicked” and decided “ah yes, this is the techware we want to hand over all our customers to”??
I am so deeply disappointed by Mozilla’s betrayal of its customer base.
If Mozilla moves forward with AI integrations, I will pull out of using Firefox and I will stop giving Mozilla my money. Mozilla should not have hired a CEO who goes so adamantly against everything Mozilla as a company stands for.
And to the CEO Anthony: I hope you step in something wet in only your socks, every single day, until you either come to your senses or someone better replaces you as CEO of Mozilla.

Absolutely. Firefox has been a safe haven for me in a sea of bloatware. We as users should organize some message to them that we won't stick around if they integrate things like that.
EXACTLY!!! I came to the forums to write similar. I am glad there are many others on the same page. I was thinking (organize a message or petition?) Does anybody know how to contact higher ups? I would be happy to write letters as well. We need a LOT of people for it to make an impact.
I've put a lot of work into configuring and addons to make Waterfox the perfect browser for me. I moved because it wasn't AI and sneaksneaky like other browsers.
I will switch browsers if they implement AI.
I think mentioning this is important in any messages.
I think its important educating some people about Chromium browsers. I've seen SO many posts on Anti AI FB groups saying 'if they implement AI I'll switch to Vivaldi.' That would make us sound silly.
I am going to look for a list of non-Chromium alternatives that do not use AI, so I can list all of the options when I email or write them.
Thank you for your feedback, we really do appreciate it
Please be assured that Firefox will always remain a browser built around user control. That includes AI with increased user controls being made available in the first quarter of 2026. Choice matters and demonstrating our commitment to choice is how we build and maintain trust.

"AI is being integrated whether our users detest it as a concept or not" isn't the most confidence-building response to read, honestly. "Firefox will not be integrating AI" is the only thing any of us want to hear, period.
I think a lot of us would support a plan to cancel subscriptions simultaneously to make this point.
Improved user controls to disable AI in Firefox settings is planned for a future version of Firefox.
As for where to leave feedback, the people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or developers. When a Mozilla employee responds, you'll see the Mozilla staff label next to their name.
To leave feedback for Mozilla developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Share ideas and feedback…. Alternatively, you can use this link. Your feedback is collected by a team that reads it and gathers data on the most common issues. For example, see this recent Mozilla Connect thread.
