Прошу припинити підтримку Firefox на Android 8/9.

Ці версії ОС більше не підтримуються та не отримують оновлень безпеки. Надання підтримки старим версіям створює ризики для користувачів (шкідливе ПЗ, викрадення даних, експлойти).

Це питання безпеки та відповідальності розробника, а не сумісності.

Was prompted to download a program to Firefox before I paid my phone bill. I did not recognize the web address or name that was shown, and the account number from which recent payment was deducted did match any accounts I hold or held in the past. I cancelled the action immediately, without downloading, but am still concerned. I found nothing on the internet about this, just got a summation chat AI response that stated the phone company had no download/extension for Firefox. Has anyone had any experience like this or could someone shed some light on this?

see what appears when I open firefox as an uploaded image: has anyone else had this appear... can not find a way to report what in my view is fraud...'AI' said no new terms,conditions,privacy by firefox, mozilla since spring so is it a 'page overlay' as 'AI' said? also I can not find a way that will open to report to mozilla, can some one forward to report fraud?

If there only one question I get an answer to that would be: how can I delete it and block it forever?

We don't need any more "AI Browsers"

Many of us have AI and its features forced down our devices, apps and browsers without the option to opt-out or make a choice, and this makes them run slow and inefficiently becoming unreliable with the additional bloated memory and software.

Firefox claims they're always looking out to protect the privacy and data of their users, but with implementing AI we have the right to doubt this move and consider giving up on Firefox altogether for a more secure, browsing alternative.

Firefox used to be known as a browser you can trust in competition with others to bring an accessible and reliable browsing experience, listening to their customers feedback but as it turns out that'll no longer the case if the new CEO plans to clog it with unnecessary AI features.

I truly hope they see our feedback and pushback because this decision is not an upgrade but a disappointing downgrade.

It's absolutely bonkers that the only major browser that anti ai ppl use is caving to the dangerous fad of ai garbage. Not only is it putting user privacy and security on the line, it also gives up the biggest thing people choose Firefox over Chrome for. We don't want to be spied on to feed algorithms that funnel our data into greedy companies to make them bigger profits. We want a reliable, safe browser that doesn't sell our data to the highest bidder. Removing that edge is ridiculous and actively enrages the userbase; we will just jump ship and move to a better browser that doesn't use ai.

I don't think any security and privacy aware browser user is using Firefox for access to privacy violating AI. This was the only browser that was still secure and functional and now apparently that's all getting trashed? No one wants AI. Your userbase is using Firefox because it isn't rotted through with AI. So why is Mozilla betraying us all to add AI? Sell outs.

I have a warning underneath my bookmark ribbon that says, "The security sandbox is disabled. Your configuration is unsupported and less secure." What is the security sandbox and what configuration is needed so that it supports the security sandbox. What happens if this security sandbox is disabled while I'm running Firefox?

I'm running Firefox v146.0.1

I had switched to Firefox some time ago because of the privacy-invading AI that Google and Microsoft were implementing at the time, and it appeared Mozilla had their consumers' interests in mind when it came to privacy and performance. I suppose even they are willing to shoot themselves in the foot with the market failure that is generative AI, despite the recent reports about Copilot's abysmal sales proving that this maneuver is incredibly short-sighted.

Not only are these AI "features" enabled by default upon updating, the options to disable each of them are all hidden away in the about:config page. On top of that, having these options enabled leads to worse performance overall, and the breach of privacy inherent to these features is quite worrisome as well.

The best step now is to remove these features completely. If Mozilla won't remove them, they should at least have them disabled by default, making them opt-in as opposed to the opt-out situation currently in place. Perhaps they could be listed as proper options somewhere in about:preferences so that people don't have to comb through the about:config list?

I know I would appreciate not having to switch browsers again, and I'm sure plenty of users would like to have their privacy respected as well. We don't want to see this browser become as terrible to use as other big-name brands. If Mozilla keep pushing these invasive features, we will find something else to use.

I realise any privacy or user control statements made by Mozilla are really a farce. One, there's no meaningful way to protect user privacy these days, not on the web. Trying would be a more accurate term. Two, the CEO is in control of the product design and he's banking on customer loyalty, betting on an outcome where people will just continue to use the product regardless of how bad the new AI features are or how much they contradict the company's supposed ethos. And it'll probably work for a spell, but here's the thing: free clones of Firefox already exist, and customer loyalty only goes so far. It won't be terribly convenient, but if I continue to see Mozilla adopt AI in its updates, I'll just switch over to something else.

So the main reason I use Firefox instead of Google or other browsers is because it specifically *doesn’t* have AI features, since AI storing my information is a privacy/security risk that I am not interested in taking. Firefox is one of the only browsers out there that isn’t annoyingly pushing for AI to be integrated into every single aspect of the service. I’m not interested. I don’t want it. Mozilla, you’re wasting your time and money integrating features that your users DO NOT WANT. Please allow users to press one button to disable machine learning features instead of burying the switches in about:config. I don’t want AI on my browser.

I know some underpayed tech or a volunteer who's not getting paid at all is going to read this and not the CEO but my hope is I'm not only one complaining and that if enough people complain your new CEO will realize that the reason most people who use Firefox do is because it's the browser that respects their privacy and security the most. Adding "AI" slop into it will only contribute to bloat and privacy loss, and a lot of people will likely move on to another browser thats faster, more reliable, and less insecure. Don't try to compete with Chrome by becoming Chrome please.
