I heard that Firefox switched CEOs and the new one wants to implement AI. Please, do not do this. The only reason I switched to Firefox was because it was the one place I could disable the AI that pops up in every search! It's also not reliable, and rarely have I ever heard of it resulting in genuine financial gain. I don't think I've ever actually heard of it having genuine financial gain.

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.

Listen, I know it's easy to fall into things that have so much hype around them, but I urge you Mozilla, please cancel your plans to integrate "AI" into your browser. You're one of the last good search engines, please, don't take yourself away from me.

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 use Mozilla specifically to avoid the AI slop Google is pushing. I am deeply disappointed with all the AI scam bloatware suddenly slowing down my devices and compromising the integrity of my devices.

The new CEO is rapidly squandering over 20 years of trust I had in this company.

Deeply disappointed

I just learned the new CEO for Firefox is really all about AI and wanting to go all out... My biggest concern, beyond AI being such an overused unreliable 'tool', is that it'll create more bloat and privacy risks, I just can't trust any program that depends on AI no not be gathering data, and Firefox was my choice browser because it's all about helping your privacy! I'm not sure what other browsers there are that DON'T force AI down their users throats but if Firefox does change its foundation that much, I'll have to go elsewhere. I'm just frustrated and hoping this will not happen.

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.

Please please please don't fill this browser with AI features.

PLEASE.

It's been so lovely coming over from Chrome.

You have a personality and a reputation here. Why do you want to tarmac over it?

My phone broke down and I had to send it in, for it to be repaired. As usual for warranty repairs the phone needed a factory reset to be sent in. Before doing that I backed up my session using Firefox sync as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/mobile/backup-recovery-and-sync/backup-data That went fine and I could access the data from my PC.

Now my phone returned, I reinstalled firefox yesterday and immediately after signing in, my backup in Sync was overwritten with a blank session. Is there any way to get the old session back?

My bookmarks have disappeared/ not transferred to my android phone, recently bought,

BUT, they have also disappeared off my computer which i have owned for more than five years.

Both are showing that I am signed into my account.

I play games via android on PC using MuMu emulator, However the text becomesdistorted/cut off and little patches of colorful static patches appear when I scroll up or down. This is a problem on EVERY emulator I tried so far. This includes Memu and bluestacks as well as MuMu. They are ALL updated and I run the emulator using 8 core 16GB ram with DirectX and medium graphic settings. I tried low graphics and high and Max graphics all same issue. I tried using Vulkan and even the lowest graphic engine and SAME issue. This started happening after one of your updates but not sure which one because I just started using emulators again after many years of looking for emulator that does not bombard u with bloody Ad's..

Would appreciate it MUCH if you can fix this issue so I can use firefox to search for apk apps and games, I WILL NOT use anything that is based of Chrome aka Chromium (also a known in MANY verisons as a VERY dangerous and destructive malware/virus) and I also found a hidden remote access plugin on PC version too.

I been a devout Mozilla firefox user since firefox version was still in single digits, aka Ver 3.6 (example, I started at around Ver 5.x or 6.x hard to remember)..

My browser has been infected with Porto sites that I have trying to remove, but they just returned through emails and web posts How do I permanently remove and block them?
