Nightly instance getting AI "error message."

I usually use Nightly as my default browser in a Windows 11 system. Recently I started to get a new error message showing up when I try to select multiple messages in Yahoo e-mail. I select them by clicking on the first message, then holding down Shift and clicking on the last message in the range. That should turn on the selection boxes for all the messages between the two.

Now, when I press the Shift key, I get an error box right on top of where my mouse cursor is, so it interferes with me. The top of the box says "mail.yahoo.com", which is the web-site I'm signed in on. Then it has a link with the text "Login - Sign in to Yahoo". Below that is an ad for all the wonderful things I can get by signing in to Yahoo. At the bottom is an error message, "We can't generate key points for this webpage."

I tried the same action in the current General Release of Firefox, v140, and this does not happen. I suspect that this is an intrusion by some sort of AI software, but I don't know what setting might have been activated to turn this on. Does anyone have any idea how to turn it off?

Hi

Please appreciate that the Nightly version of Firefox is still under construction and may have one or two outstanding issues that our developers are working to resolve. This feels like one of those, likely to be with the tab preview feature that is looking to be rolled out in a future update to Firefox.

The tab preview feature seems to be working in v142. These messages come popping up at the mouse cursor position, and mention "key points". Also, it's always exactly the same message that comes up. It almost looks like it's an ad placed by Yahoo, asking me to log on; except I am already logged on.
