The AI enhancements kill battery by more than triple idle CPU consumption, It gets rectified by blocking them but at every restart the Firefox has them again activated!!! If it does not get corrected soon I will have to switch browser

I'm using Firefox from the official Ubuntu repository (packages.mozilla.org). I have used the (very cool) "translate page" feature successfully, but for some reason it doesn't seem to work on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/NL:Basisregistratie_Adressen_en_Gebouwen which I'd like translated to English. Even though Firefox thinks the page was translated, only one of the headings seems to be in English.

I would like to understand how to troubleshoot this and help you improve this great feature. Thank you in advance.

Good afternoon!

Translation (AI) is not working. There is no pop-up window, no icon in the address bar. I made the settings according to the instructions, reinstalled Firefox (152.0.4 (64-bit)).

Can you tell me how to fix the situation?

PS: I have attached screenshots.

Question: Can we see the "Web" feature choice placed as the second option instead of "All" in the menu bar when we search? I understand Ai is here. I don't what Ai's opinion constantly coming up in my search engine. I want to read for myself. Ai is the first selection for web choice in terms of searching information on the in the browser. But I would like to the option to just search the "Web" without Ai. I would like for the "Web" choice not be a somewhat hidden feature way down the list as though it's not longer available. Is there anyway to change that so that is not the first option?

Thank you

Firefox promised us an gen ai kill switch. But theres this new ai summary feature that is not automatically disabled when i press the kill switch. Could you fix this, so that when i press the disable ai button all gen ai features are disabled! Even the ai summaries feature. Could you also not hide or try to sneak in any more ai features! Nobody needs ai features, it's actively making us all dumber. Thank you.

When using the official Firefox AI sidebar integration configured with Gemini, the user authentication status is not persistently maintained. Every time the sidebar is minimized/closed, or when switching within the sidebar interface (such as clicking away to view Chat History and returning), the session state is destroyed. The sidebar immediately defaults back to a generic splash page prompting the user to "Sign In" again, effectively breaking the seamless chat experience.

Please give nore details on how chatbots in the sidebar work. Work with free versions? Same limits as chatbot plans. For example. Explain in human-understandable tech language how this works.

I would like to use Firefox with a search that uses an AI bot, similar to how Brave uses Leo. Leo does not ask me to sign in every time, like Perplexity does when I select it as the Firefox search engine. Also, when I do a search, Perplexity always causes the Google sign in option, which I hate. So, I continue to use Brave/Leo, because I use the AI/Leo capability a lot, but would prefer Firefox and something.

Suggestions?

Thank you
