Every time I login on my computer, there is already an open Firefox webpage with a dialog box asking me if I want Firefox to be my primary default browser. Once I click "Set a Default Browse", a Microsoft Edge webpage appears giving me a list of choices of Microsoft application to select to be my browser. Firefox is not on the list. There is also a dialog box that appears on the lower right corner of the screen showing me the steps on how to make Firefox my default browser. The choices are "Show Me How" and "No Thanks". When I click the "Show me how", I am taken to Firefox setting, once I click the "Make Default" I am taken back to the list of Microsoft applications to choose as my browser. The bottom line is I cannot make Firefox my default browser anymore. In fact, I am not even sure if I am sending this message to Firefox or Mozilla. This is the URL that I see on this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/firefox/form.

Would you please check and correct the problem. I cannot make Firefox my default browser. Would you check if Firefox is my default browser.

Where is the configuration setting that enables javascript. Consumer Reports requires that the application be enabled to participate in a webinar I want to attend

I don't know about you, but I loathe the recent push by the majority of tech companies to integrate the wasteful and environmentally harmful technology that is Generative AI into every corner of the digital landscape. I am especially disappointed in Firefox following the Gen AI hype and inserting it into our experiences as a default without considering the massive amount of users who are not interested in this tech for morons, those who want nothing to do with said tech, or people like myself who f***ing hate it. I am aware that you can shut off AI features by using Firefox's advanced configuration, so I'm wondering if such an option already exists for this coming rollout feature.

I for one believe Firefox should give its users the option to preemptively opt out of rollout features for things involving Gen AI which many, like me, are in vocal opposition against.

The settings page is vaguely providing an option to turn off this feature. I don't care what you want to call it, be it AI/ML/chatbot, it's not related to browsing the internet and I don't want it. I don't want it to consume ANY resources of my computer, I don't want it to exist in my computer unless I EXPLICITLY use it, I don't want to be FORCED to go and search everything in about:config page to get it completely (probably) deactivated. Provide a button that DOES deactivate and hide (without running it in the background either) the whole AI/ML/chatbot integration. I don't want to use it, again, I don't want it being shoved in my face or my computer against my will. Firefox IS a web browser. Otherwise, let's stop making any kind of websites (eshops, newspapers, social media and other) since they will not be browsed by people that want to browse the web, since the web browser decided to put AI in front of everything to consume everyone's content and dictate their own design, alignments caused by bias disagreements etc etc.

I was planning to start using the AI chatbot sidebar finally, tried out all of the free options available and settled on HuggingChat. The very next day, HuggingChat ceased operations. I don't really like the other preset options, but I have a couple of other models that I would be interested in trying out. Is there some way to add a different model than the five preset or am I just out of luck?

Is there any way I can prevent Mozilla from installing/enabling more AI features on my Firefox browser in the future?

I do not want AI running on my machine. I do not want AI integration in my browser. I understand I will still run into AI in the wilds of the internet, but I especially do not want these features enabled ON MY OWN MACHINE in an update without me specifically opting into them. Installing and enabling this without user opt-in communicates clear disrespect to the users.

I did a cursory search here for similar questions and Mozilla staff appear to be stating there will be no AI in Firefox unless the user specifically enables it, and it is as simple as disabling them via settings if "accidentally" enabled. This was not my experience, and it is alarming to see false information provided to users .

I have found other sources indicating the following must be set to false in about:config in order to disable browser-side AI/AI integration: browser.ml.chat.enabled browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge browser.ml.chat.shortcuts browser.ml.chat.shortcuts.custom browser.ml.chat.sidebar browser.ml.checkForMemory browser.ml.enable browser.ml.linkPreview.shift

Is that all of them, will these disable ALL of the AI in Firefox?

Are there any other settings I need to set to false to ensure no AI is either running on my machine or the browser is not integrating AI functionality from third parties?

Is there any way to ensure Mozilla doesn't force AI features to be enabled without my say-so (again)?

Are there any privacy-minded browsers comparable to Firefox that DO respect their users with regards to forcing AI on them? It may be time to jump ship.

Hello! I use Chrome and Edge browser and after this i install FireFox, but i dont see my favourite function like “install as app” if you release it in ur browser, can u say me where i can get it? If not, please do it, more and more people use this function and like it, after u do it, u can get new auditory, Thx, Maxim ❤️

Hi all,

I’ve been experimenting with Firefox’s new AI chat integration and adding custom prompts via `about:config` using `browser.ml.chat.prompts.#`.

Right now, prompt values are static JSON strings, like:

```json {"label":"Answer","id":"answer","value":"Answer selected question"} ```

This works great for fixed text, but there’s no way to dynamically include useful context like the **current page URL**.

For example, I’d like to create a prompt like:

```json {"label":"Summarize w/ URL","id":"summarize_with_url","value":"Summarize this selection. Page URL: {{url}}"} ```

…but currently, `{{url}}` (or similar placeholders) isn’t supported, and the AI chat doesn’t automatically pull the page URL as context.

This means I either have to manually copy/paste the URL or use a separate bookmarklet workaround, which breaks the smooth workflow.

• • Feature request:**

• Add support for variables like `{{url}}`, `{{title}}`, or `{{selection}}` in `browser.ml.chat.prompts`.
• This would make prompts far more powerful and let AI chat automatically reference page context.

Has anyone found a hidden about:config trick for this, or can this be added to Firefox’s roadmap?

Thanks!

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

Mozilla changed the longstanding "Copy Link Address" hotkey from "A" to "L" in Firefox 88.

They have decided to not consider reverting this change, even though "L" is far less accessible than "A" and brings it out of sync with accessibility keys across other browsers.

Reference: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1701324

Firefox broke copy link address right click context menu hotkey "A" again in Firefox 142 by adding "Ask an AI Chatbot" and this time I'm not sure I can get around it with an extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/link-copy/

Can this context menu option be made optional or something please?

This is both a settings issue, and a privacy and security issue. I want to disable the google lens context menu item to protect my security and privacy from constant AI monitoring. I've almost accidentally clicked the new option before and I don't want to send photos or images to google's AI unless I specifically intend to do so.

I feel like Mozilla is interfering with people's privacy more and more, taking away features from their users, adding features we don't want, butting in and telling us how our browsers should work. This is starting to become absurd. Now you've added AI into the browser that can control how your tabs are displayed and named even, a setting I found while trying to disable Google Lens.

There's a couple other settings I need to figure out how to disable too, such as the context menu of translate and the ChatGPT context menu items. I just removed ChatGPT and a new AI chat bot option appeared. Just wow. What the hell Mozilla. Is your intention to just turn your browser into one big spyware?

Give me the option to disable all of this stuff you keep adding. I have a policy thats supposed to disable your auto updates too but YOU disabled that as well allowing you to install all this malware/spyware into my machine without my authorization.

I was dismayed to discover that the latest versions of Firefox (e.g. 141 on Linux) unify the search and address bars again. There does not seem to be any easy and obvious way to change this.

On my 128 esr Linux Firefox I have an address bar that does not accept search terms and a separate search bar.

How can I get this behaviour in 141?

I am unable to locate the setting Enable Link preview. I am using Firefox 142.0 on Windows 10 Home 22H2. This setting does not appear under Settings>General>Browsing. Are there other settings that are required to enable this facility?
