if Mozilla continues on its path of adding new AI features into Firefox, i am going to switch browsers. I stopped using chrome, i can stop using Firefox too. Nobody using Firefox needs more AI features. Nobody using Firefox needs a "modern AI browser", as there's already about 10 browsers filled to the brim with AI slopware. this is an extremely disappointing turn for Mozilla to take and I'm hoping they realize their mistakes before it's too late.

I think you should consider launching your new CEO out of a canon, metaphorically speaking.

If people wanted AI slop shoved in their faces, they'd go use a crappy chromium browser, which is where that stuff lives. We use Firefox because we don't want any of that crap in our browsing experience. "As long as you can trust it" - who does this guy think he is? You can't 'trust' AI, it's not a person, it's a tool (implement) used by tools (inept idiot).

You also can't trust corporations that pivot to AI, either. If you want to double down on anything relating to AI, then double down on keeping Firefox AI slop free, and ensuring that you are the browser for those that need refuge from this crap.

I remember when Firefox really was a nonprofit that survived on donations from its users, rather than just another corporate shill for companies and LLMs.

Be better. You disappoint me.

Firefox's new CEO plans to turn the platform into unusable AI slop

I've been using Firefox for over a decade, but I'm switching to a different platform now. Firefox's CEO, Anthony Enzor-DeMeo, appears to approve of garbage-quality AI summaries and a general lack of a thought process from the users themselves. Sure, he mentions that AI should be a choice, which includes being able to turn it off, but guess what: if I want a choice of AI, then I'd rather choose to turn it on in the first place. I'm not tolerating slop on my browser. I uninstalled it from Windows, and I will sure as hell will rid of it here, too.

Read the room. The general public hasn't been supporting Copilot, so god knows why they'd happily embrace this garbage infesting their Internet browsers, as well. Good bye, and good riddance.

Mozilla's business model of not providing actual technical support for Firefox is the reason I will look for other browsers to use. If enough users avoid Firefox, their advertising revenues will dry up, and they will either go out of business, or start caring about their users. This is a horrible, unsustainable business model. business model.

Firefox has been the most mainstream "good guy" browser for a long time, but it's no system's default. People use Firefox deliberately -- installing it by choice. We have other options (like LibreWolf) waiting for us, and we'll leave with one of them as soon as it's the better option. Save your money, save your customer base, save the environment, and don't try and shove another useless AI down our throats.

I'm here to AVOID AI, not to have more of it shoveled onto my plate, and I know I am not the only person who prefers Firefox for that reason. Integrating more AI features is only going to drive away the people who use this browser.

Plea to CEO — STOP the garbage AI features

The only reason Firefox has remained relevant in any way—the reason myself & everyone I know switched from Chrome in the first place—is because of the fact that privacy is respected and there aren't superfluous features bloating the browser. Nobody wants more AI integration, least of all the people using THIS browser!

If these changes don't stop, sooner than later myself (& many others, as is evident by the overwhelming response) will be migrating to a new browser. This is not what we came here for! Don't fix what isn't broken, and listen to your users!

Thanks to the new CEO of Mozilla moving on with the enshitification of Mozilla Firefox and deciding to shove AI-bloatware down the throat of your users I will cease supporting Mozilla vocally--in person and on social media. The greater portion of your users are not wanting the lackluster addition of any AI into the browser. A "modern AI browser" will become a lesser product overall and will only encourage your users to find a better browser.

And of course there's no "Contact Us" anymore. I don't even expect this to reach a human.

Firefox will become what all the other browsers are: a turd in an already filled sewer.

I'm certain I'm not alone in this. I use Firefox because it offers greater privacy, security, and customizability, and because I seek to eliminate as many potential interaction points with AI as possible. I've been deeply annoyed by the features already introduced; furthering Firefox's descent into another AI-forward browser is the opposite of what I want in a using experience. When this happens, I will have to find a browser that better suits my needs.

I'm sure you've seen the many, many other responses detailing how a lot of long time users are upset, caught-off-guard, and losing their faith in Firefox and its team.

And I'm adding one more.

I am, for lack of a better term, not an op-sec obsessed redditor ready to move into the woods and only use tech from the 90s. I'm just a guy, who switched from The Other browser after constant data-focused scandals, and disregarding of their own userbase. And now! My beloved fox browser seems to be diving headfirst into that same kiddie pool. That sucks immensely. I won't lie and say I've been reading every single update, and blog post and whatsoever about the CEO change. I read about it 10 minutes ago! But it is still, confounding to me the change in direction, and I will no longer be holding others' hands and helping them switch over to Firefox.

This bubble will pop. It saddens me to see how greed wraps itself around peoples' hearts and suffocates them.
