I-Firefox Community Forum

How do I search x-rated or violent content with the Firefox browser without Google safe search puritans blocking my every attempt to do so. I don't what I've done or how to change it. I am just going around in circles of frustration. Good lord it's like I'm back into the puritanical dark age. PLEASE HELP.

Unless I've simply failed to find to find such a facility, it seems that there are no dedicated channels or topics through which sensible and constructive suggestions can be submitted. Surely, monitoring and sifting through such ideas might yield 'food for thought' among developers, all of which could contribute to improving both the function, performance and appeal of Mozilla products? I'm not even sure whether I'm posting under the most appropriate topic, which perhaps underlines my point!

I strongly disagree with the proposed AI-centric direction for Firefox. I already disable any current AI features in this browser and disagree with them being there at all. I am firmly anti-AI in the form/use that is most prevalent. I don't want an AI chatbot or AI summaries. AI is not a replacement for human thought. It cannot perceive. It cannot understand. It cannot communicate. Even if it produces a convincing enough mimicry of those things to convince some people that it is capable of doing those things. It's like that IBM training slide from 1979 that says "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision." Firefox's blog entry about these proposed updates is full of nothing but glittering generalities, just buzz-phrases like "you're in control" and "a better browser" and "trusted companion." AI is not a trusted companion. AI is hyper-advanced autocorrect. And with AI's harshness on the environment (requires astronomical and unsustainable amounts of water) and on the browser itself (slows it down considerably and makes it more vulnerable to security breaches like prompt injection attacks), I just don't think "everybody else is doing AI" is a valid reason to override the main reason most Firefox users use it (because of its lack of AI features and focus on privacy). I'm a long-time user of Firefox and I have really enjoyed it, but one of the biggest issues I have had with it in the last few years is disabling all the AI garbage features that keep getting sneaked in. If AI use or AI-driven features become a substantial part of Firefox, I won't be using it anymore.

Please don't fucking add more AI bullshit into the browser version of firefox im begging. I swtiched to firefox instead of chrome because you guys had LESS issues but now you're adding MORE issues. I'm gonna switch to something else if you do this. AI is not gonna help you in the long run. Bye.

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.

I moved to Firefox because it wasn't obsessed with AI like the other browsers. If you continue with this evil plan, you will lose customers and that it both a promise and threat. Your CEO has said it's AI you can trust, ignoring all the other concerns people have with AI, like:

Water Usage Copyright breaches Hallucinations Loss of Quality Privacy breaches Storage and use of personal data, including search results and browsing Influence of racist and misogynist content from the internet on machine learning Environmental impact of the data servers to host AI A severe lack of regulations and protections regarding the above

Do NOT make this an AI browser. Your new CEO knows nothing of your market and audience and it will be your downfall.

iv'e been using ff to recover my google account and have gone between the android phone and windows 11 ,i have been having issues and not finished yet , should i be using the ff for android or windows?

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.

Greetings Ya'll, Firefox Bookmarks are no longer being initially placed in "Other Bookmarks, they are now being placed in the "Bookmarks" that is under the "Open Application Menu" Tab.

I've found that the "New Bookmarks" can be "Dragged" as a copy to "Bookmarks", from the "Bookmarks" located in the menu, for they will stay there unless I delete them

I can not move the "Bookmarks" back to "Other Bookmarks"

Would I lose My Bookmarks, If I "Refresh" Firefox, as suggested in the "Troubleshooting Section? If there is a chance of this happening then that would Absolutely Be Catastrophic!!

Until recently we had the use of AI Overview when searching. That has disappeared. How do we turn it on again?
