Does the privacy related concerns regarding the 'AI chatbot' differentiate when: selected, expanded and/or opened

"Explaination:" I was wondering if the AI chatbot that I selected(no specific one) could only be 'potentially' harmful for my privacy when it is in fact opened.

The steps i take so u get what i mean:

  1. Expand sidebar
  2. 'click' on the chosen AI chatbot (ChatGPT in my case)
  3. The chatbot opens up next to the sidebar (you can now use it for sending prompts etc.)

So: If i have an AI chatbot selected, but i have neither the sidebar expanded nor opened the chatbot itself should I still have to be concerned about the same privacy concerns as when it is actually openend

clicked on small info page website icon for a snooker club and linked me to Mcafee (allegedly) whereupon lots of alerts about malicious software and viruses invading my laptop. As Defender shows everything clear I assume this is a scam. The link address is shown below as a screenshot of 'new notifications'. I uninstalled Firefox and refreshed everything. I use DuckDuckGo as search engine. Operating System is Windows 10. Any assistance to prevent these -virus alert 'notifications' popping up would be appreciated.

I tried to open settings because I need to change account passwords. As soon as I open settings Thunderbird crashes after showing the settings page for half a second. Latest Thunderbird version under latest windows 11 version. Anyone else has this problem? Restarting the PC (miracle cure for problems under windows) did not solve the problem. Anyone else has this? Anyone knows a solution?

I cannot access my accounts passwords, so the problem is rather worrisome and urgent.

The comment section on various sites is no longer displaying, The Federalist, Townhall, Pjmedia, Hotair, Redstate. All use disqus.com. Settings under privacy and security set to standard. Manage exceptions list all these, including disqus. Turned off, restarted, reloaded sites (not from bookmarks). Works on Edge but not Firefox. Do I just discontinue using Firefox and be done with this? Just checked Firefox for updates-says mine is up-to-date, version 136.0.2.

places.sqlite: this file records EVERY website I've ever visited in a db table! This despite opting out of History and flushing daily It's frustrating that FF surreptiously collects such personal info. Why record every site I visit, date-timestamps, frequency, etc.?

moz_historyvisits_dateindex ON moz_historyvisits (visit_date) moz_places_lastvisitdateindex

As test, I changed the name to places-sqlite.old to see if FF will create a new one It didn't make a new table; re-created the old one.

I need to update FF because of the expired certificates, but would like to clear these out first. Similarly, can I get rid of the icon database? My bookmarks are backed up as JSON and HTML files. I just wished they didn't contain extraneous info

Please assist or advise why Firefox seems to be slowing down my system by memory usage. I have a handful (6) of tabs open on 1 browser session and my system started slowing down so I checked my task manager and it shows that I have more than a dozen of Firefox instances open chewing up almost 90% of my memory.

Please assist or advise me on how to tweak my browser to perform better, and not to show ghost instances

I just heard the disheartening news that Mozilla just removed its long-standing promise to never sell peoples’ data…and inserted language giving themselves worldwide license to use the information entered in Firefox. Where can I find these new terms? How did I miss this?

What is the point of using Mozilla now, why bother?

Gross Stuff.
