Firefox Community Forum

I have the source set to open in the editor. When I start Firefox with a blank editor open and open the source, the source is not displayed in the editor. What could be the cause?

I use Microsoft Office 10 Outlook (version 14) for my email. In the past , if I did "file, email link" from Firefox, it would open my MS Office Outlook... As of today , "mailto" now wants to use Gmail or Outlook (web version), and I can see no options to use MS Office Outlook.

Help !!

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.

These features are, at best, unwanted by me, forever. Is there any way to ensure they remain disabled and no future features that use it get auto-enabled?

Thanks!

With Firefox 144, there is unasked for/unwanted AI introduced. How do I ensure that all AI is completely disabled in my browser? I found a link describing some settings, but want to confirm this will disable ALL AI in the browser. I don't want it, don't trust the privacy/security holes yet to be found and would prefer it was not included in Firefox to begin with. The list I've found is:

• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.enabled", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.menu", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.page", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.shortcuts", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.chat.sidebar", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.enable", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.linkPreview.optin", false);
• user_pref("browser.ml.modelHubRootUrl", "");

Will this do it? What about:

browser.ml.chat.nimbus

Do I need to clear that field to ensure I don't get some auto opt-in in the future as more and more of this "stuff" is put into the browser?

Why not leave Firefox as a security/privacy conscious browser and put out a separate AI browser (FirefoxML?) for those that are not as concerned. How does Mozilla ensure that no information is leaked through AI from sessions for professionals that must protect physician/patient, attorney/client information or other legally confidential information?

Currently trying to find a solution to my firefox browser not responding to the errors in my text. Spell checkign seems to be unavailable on all pages.

I am on the latest Version 144.0.2 (64-bit), have box checked "Check Your Spelling" and have the langauge selected to UK GB English.

Also tried about:config in address bar. Then checked layout.spellcheckDefault and the results are default 2, true and true. I adjusted this number from 1 as directed on a previous help ticket.

Can anyone assist me?

I’m can not get fire fox to be my main not default on my Apple macOS High Sierra i5 ‘I spoke to ur colleague earlier and said that because it’s old it will still work in firefox ——basically it’s an older version and now where it used to say google or chrome it doesn’t say fire fix it says directory utility please help

I do not want AI summary windows popping up, or previewing links, or any AI features in the browser. All AI should be opt in not opt out, yet here I am forced to dig through a config file instead of having an easily accessible setting.

And Mozilla management probably wonder why people dislike them. Hint: this sort of garbage.

I have tried disabling AI settings in about:config such as

• browser.ml.chat.enabled == False
• browser.ml.chat.menu == False
• browser.ml.chat.page == False

However I have continued to see an AI summary window, seemingly at random, sometimes with a long click and sometimes when mousing over text.

I want to be clear to whoever has implemented this; this is invasive, wasteful and frustrating.

I want a single option under settings to disable all AI features. Forcing this on users is a terrible idea and an excellent way to lose market share.

Hello,

I use an online text-based website frequently at work, Firefox is my chosen browser for many reasons. One problem I am facing is that when I go to make text bold using the shortcut Ctrl+B, the bookmark bar appears on the side of my screen.

How can I disable this, as it does get in my way frequently, having to close the bar before I continue.

Trying to use the PWA features. Firefox 144.0 and windows 11.

Clicking the "Add to task bar" button, which makes the PWA window, but if I close the windows it removes the PWA app.

If I manually pin the PWA app to the taskbar, it just becomes a generic firefox bookmark. It seems i'm also not getting a windows pop up related to this when looking at video guides.

Unsure whats blocking it if any has seen before

I just wrote and it w as scrubbed, that I have FIRED Chrome Fired Edge, and fired every web p;latform that replaced a 90% functional text matching system with a 2% functional AI system with the cognitive abilities of a slower than average goldfish. So I need the ability to turn off every new feature you offer or I will and I AM POSITIVE MANY AMERICANS AND MUCH OF HUMANITY WILL CANCEL THE TECHNOLOGY COMPLETELY. We don't need it it falls into Entertainment and it is not the only choice. There are still books campfires fishing making models collecting minerals sports humanitarian ojectives honesty and Truth available in real life. Stop shoving us backwards why are you shoving a pathetically incapable technology in our faces? is it so you can offer a convenient implant that will SOLVE EVERYTHING????

started a new profile, imported bookmarks, the about:config settings won't die. I've deleted the user and prefs.js data etc. but all the dumb changes I made before switching users just make their way back no matter how many new profiles I create. I have standard Firefox, with Nightly and Private versions installed. Win 11 25H2 whatever its called now.. please help.

Hello,

I wanted to ask if there’s a way to configure the setting for "Store data in permanent storage" (or "Daten im dauerhaften Speicher speichern" in German) to always block/disable ALWAYS via Group Policy or Registry Editor.

As we are a small company, I would like to apply this setting for all Active Directory users.

Thank you

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi,

I have deactivated the option smooth scrolling, but even so it is still working, it seems the button is not working. Restart of computer and browser didn't help.
