Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Firefox

I need step by step instructions in order to make the changes that Mozilla/Firefox wants me to do. I have also been having medical issues which is affecting me mentally. Right now I am totally confused, and I don't know what to do.

I am so disappointing in the CEO's decision to push AI. Firefox has a very dedicated following BECAUSE it does not push AI and all the other shady things other Browsers push. Everyone I know will stop using Mozilla browsers if they continue on in implementing AI.

I have spent so many hours deleting every sneaky file, disabling every program, having all firewalls block any AI. (I really do need to switch to Linux with the amount of time I spend on this lol...)

How do we contact the higher ups? If large numbers of users emailed/heck even wrote (making a point that we will delete our Mozilla accounts if AI happens) maybe it could help? Or a petition?

I have been using Firefox for years and years. The only reason I still use it now is that I am currently able to disable the AI features. I do not want AI in my web browser. I heard that the new CEO wanted to integrate MORE AI into Firefox and I am against this direction! I will probably not fund Firefox development again if they do this. I do not require a reply to this thread and will probably ignore replies. If I become aware of a better way to express my opinion to the CEO, I will also do that.

I do not need or want AI. The vast majority of firefox users, many of whom transferred to get away from AI, would agree. What for, anyway? To name tab groups? How is that worth spiking the use of my CPU and power? I switched to firefox *years* ago for one reason: it runs much better than chrome and it was committed to privacy and such. I know there are options to turn off these and the other AI features but with the CEO's desire to make firefox a "modern AI browser" I fear it will only get worse. How long will it stay optional? I might as well leave now and get used to waterfox, before firefox becomes utterly enshittified and unusable.

Just wanted to add my voice and say that I'm seriously disappointed with the change in the company's stance regarding generative AI. I only started using firefox recently, specifically because it doesn't shove AI slop down my throat, and of course that's already changing. The literal only consolation is that it sounds like I'll be able to turn it off in settings, but that isn't good enough. At this rate the enshittification of the entire internet is looking inevitable...

The recent news that Anthony Enzor-DeMeo is pushing for Firefox to integrate more AI.

I have used Firefox as my primary browser for 20 years. In that time, I have consistently advocated for its use in private and public forums (albeit with very little reach), in large part because it is a browser that does what I want, works, and doesn't shove a bunch of crap I don't want in my face. I recently read Waterfox's statement making it clear that they aren't going to do this, and that's the first time in my entire adult life that I have considered switching browsers.

I was already upset that I had to go disable AI features which were, for some stupid reason, enabled by default in the most recent versions. I do not want this garbage. I know I'm not alone. It would be annoying but easily ignored if these AI features were produced as mozilla-designed plugins or extensions, but for a browser that cares about privacy and security, this move is frankly inexplicable.

Please change course. This is one of the few organizations I actually have some level of trust in; it would be nice if you didn't squander that over some fancy new toys that nobody asked for.

(And, frankly, if you're going to ask us to fill out a survey, not having a question about this big new change and movement from the company is an... interesting choice.)

I switched to Firefox on all devices for its better performance and better privacy, and of course it not having a gross amount of AI shoved into it. I work very well with this browser without AI, adding more of it will simply ruin the experience completely. Many people use Firefox because they wish to avoid AI from the start, Firefox shines thanks to this and should openly express how it won't fall into the same trap. Don't let this become every other browser.

go tell your new CEO that nobody wants AI in firefox. do this every day until it gets into his thick CEO skull, i know it might take a while because CEOs are fundamentally braindead but please, do it for us. in the meantime, i will look for another browser to use if you keep shovelling this garbage into firefox.

Like many others, I had switched over to Firefox because it was the most secure and AI-free option out there. I was willing to accept there would be minimal AI "features" as long as I was able to disable them immediately, which I did. Pushing for more will only alienate the users and make the overall user experience worse. I am tired of checking every second picture if it's AI generated. I am tired of seeing AI generated articles. I never read the AI summaries because who knows when they'll tell me to add glue to my pizza to make the cheese stick more. We already have studies that show generative AI affects an individual's capacity for thought. I have people in my life that are being affected by it. Firefox, being the only non-Chromium based browser, is basically a beacon of normalcy in all this bullshit. Don't mess up the trust of your community by stooping so low. If we wanted AI slop we would be using Google Chrome.

I left chrome and chromium browsers for firefox when it got recommended to me because the main selling point was no AI and no unnecessary bloating functions that slowed it down and that made searches accurate and reliable. Please, instead of trying to add more AI into it, work on removing what you've already implemented.

I am firmly against the application of AI into Firefox as a browser. If the supposed plans to integrate AI into Firefox come into fruition, I will not only look at installing another browser, but I will personally go to every person I know and advise they do the same. I will not support the business model of a company that puts profit above the wants and needs of its customers. I would hate to see the good name of Firefox be lost to misguided efforts to follow the AI hype to it's detriment.

I've donated to mozilla in the past because I really love this browser but I hear your new CEO is doubling down on using more AI slop. Please don't. I'm old and tired and don't want to find a new browser but I will.

The biggest reason I use Firefox is because of the lack of Generative AI "features" that both make browsing worse and destroy the environment through the ridiculous amount of resources they take to spit out worse results. Stop sneaking them in, or I - and many others - will take our business elsewhere.

I abhor the use of AI in the one browser I use because I thought it was far safer than any other browser. I have switched to Firefox because I knew it hadn't tracked my data, nor did it shove useless and unwanted features onto me without the ability to tell it no. But apparently, that has changed.

The blatant disregard for any opinion other than the CEO's in terms of including the implementation of AI tells me that Mozilla has little care for what their users want. Many people are speaking out against AI, many people here on these forums especially, and I am adding my own voice to the choir.

If the use of AI features continue to be added, I will consider simply switching browsers to one where I can at the very least patch out the AI entirely. I will be taking me, and my funding, with me, and I will not be looking back. I would hope these rising voices will be heard, and taken into consideration, before Firefox all but goes up in blazes and never reignites again.

I use Firefox and recommend it to others entirely because it's proven to be one of the browsers with the least privacy concerns and bloat. Mozilla's recent intention to make Firefox a "modern AI browser" and riddle it with unwanted software additions ruins everything users love about the browser. If this AI integration moves forward, I'll be switching from Firefox to another browser.

I've used Firefox my entire life, and completely severed ties with Chrome and Opera as privacy concerns cropped up, and have always recommended Firefox to friends and colleagues. But with the new CEO instantly backtracking on privacy concerns by pretending AI is just a buzzword that makes stockholders happy, I will be telling everyone to switch to librewolf or waterfox or zen instead. AI is glorified spyware, literally causes cancer as it poisons the water used to cool the necessary systems, and can't even tell you how many months are in the year or how many of them include a 'Y', I don't want this forced into my life for any period.
