I-Firefox Community Forum

Hi Firefox community,

I’m not your usual tech influencer or a corporate “enthusiast”—I’m just a longtime open source user who’s spent more than a few years behind the veiled curtain, watching how this world of software and possibility unfolds. I love what Mozilla does for users like me. That’s exactly why I want to raise something: I keep seeing the word “chatbot” show up for Firefox’s new AI-powered assistants (like the sidebar and what’s coming next). But let’s be honest—“chatbot” belongs to the days of robotic customer service and scripted dead-ends.

What we have now in Firefox—powered by real LLMs (Large Language Models)—is a whole different species. Calling these assistants “chatbots” just doesn’t fit. It sells short what LLM-based assistants can do: they’re powerful, context-aware, and, at times, strikingly human in their conversation. New users might miss the true magic if we stick to old language. So why not call them “AI assistants,” “LLM-powered assistants,” or just “AI” instead? It would help everyone see the progress, and show how Mozilla’s still leading, not just catching up.

I’ll leave it open for discussion, but I hope others feel this shift too. Language shapes how we see these things—and sometimes it takes a Singular Fella (or maybe two) to nudge the world past old memes. Thanks for hearing me out, and here’s to a future where our assistants, and our words, keep getting smarter.

I received an email with the heading Mozilla Monitor listing my monthly Monitor report. Said I had 7 data breaches and asking me to click to resolve or click to view details. Is this a scam? Send answer to k.krukowski@comcast.net

Once a week or so, Firefox crashes unexpectedly. The popup indicates its alerting Microsoft of the crash, but apparently not notifying Mozilla.

Once such a crash occurs, I close Firefox. Reopening it results in a crash shortly after all tabs open and I click on something (usually 3 or 4 tabs are open). No matter how many times I let Firefox close and then I reopen it, the crash recurs. The only recovery is a complete reboot of my PC.

How can I get and submit crash reports to support in hopes of getting a resolution?

I have spent the past month trying to get things done on the web and on every site I have encountered something that failed to work properly. In your case the "Mark It As Solved" button on you emails doesn't work. So even though my issues were resolved (Not by your help), I can't tell you that.

I am aware, there are far more serious issues on our hands, but someone please fix this naming on the FTP server?

Idk maybe adding enough zeroes to make the release number 8 or 10 digits long.

0000000005 instead 5 0000000028 instead 28 0000000077 instead 77 0000000131 instead 131

The current order is like 131, 28, 77, 8.

Hello,

I contact you because I can't have access at the Firefox Labs and it appear in settings that I search it. But when I find it after search, I can't make nothing.

I think it's because I am in another brother based on Mozilla, which is Zen Browser, but weeks ago the Firefox Labs functioned very well...

Then I ask your help.

Thank you.
