Is there a way for me to opt out of any new "AI" functionality/features that would otherwise be enabled by default? Like the tab suggestions and perplexity in search. Having AI shoved down my throat from every corner of the internet is kind of frustrating.

Hello Firefox Support,

Since the latest update of the Firefox browser, I have been experiencing frequent freezes. The browser becomes unresponsive when performing basic actions such as:

  • Clicking on the menu
  • Closing tabs
  • Copying or editing the URL

When this happens, the only way to recover is to close Firefox and reopen it.

Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue?

Thank you for your support.

Best regards, Mohamed Adel

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?

When I view an item on Ebay this weekend, the images are not selectable (ie., an item that has 5 images will only show the 1st one in the main window, with no zoom or clickability). Firefox is my default browser, version is 143.0.1 (current), Windows 64-bit, and no ad-block extension is activated for that tab. Opened same pages/items in Bing, and images were accessible and selectable.
