Saying "you can turn off the AI" is NOT enough, Mozilla. Nothing is ever "turned off" unless it's completely removed. This is Microsoft's playbook BS; "but you can turn it off", but for some reason the system is always using a metric ton of memory, lagging and whatnot. You, of all companies, should know this and be better than that. Nothing good is ever force-installed and impossible to remove. Unless you all make it installed completely separately so people like me, who are a significant part, if not most of your user base, can not install it, nothing short of a full renunciation of the CEO will suffice to make we trust you again.

"Internet for People, not profit" is seeming more and more like blatant false advertising every day.

I am so frustrated and disappointed with the current direction that Mozilla is talking with Firefox and AI Integration. I have used Firefox for years and have financially supported Mozilla in the past. For the time being, I am sticking with Firefox because the Al integrations can currently be turned off. I believe these options should be opt-in NOT opt -out. I feel loyal and dedicated to Mozilla's valves of privacy and a free-internet. But I will not think twice about jumping ship to another browser if Mozilla continues on this path of full-throated support and opt-out AI integration into Firefox. And I refuse to continue my financial support of the Mozilla foundation while this is the current direction of Mozilla leadership. I sincerely hope leadership will take the feedback of the community seriously and alter the current direction for the browser.

I come, trying to manage my disappointment and anger, to say only one thing: I love Firefox, it (still) has the best UX of any modern browser. And part of that is that it has NO AI malware built into it. The recent statements from the CEO regarding the implementation of AI into the browser is extremely disappointing, to the point of it feeling like a personal betrayal, and will only make me (and a lot of other people) just completely abandon it. And don't kid yourselves, your user base never was so low, and that user base only like this browser specifically because it has no malware built into it, because of the privacy and open nature you had before this debacle. You're shooting yourselves on booth feet and an arm with a shotgun. I don't trust you as a company anymore at all; you just achieved the complete opposite of what you said you wanted. If you just made use of reverse psychology and was that's your actual goal, congrats. This company quite literally couldn't have elected a worse person to be chief executive.

I have Firefox set to "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" and also "Clear history when Firefox closes" (with everything set to clear except site data).

Then I have an exception list of sites to save cookies and site data for (for example, youtube.com).

The problem I have is that not all of the cookies are deleted when I exit. In addition to the sites on the exception list, there are others not on the list that remain.

For example, in the screenshot, this is a cookie from gleam.io. It's setting it for domain .youtube.com, and this is one of the cookies that remains. I believe it's remaining because youtube.com is on the exception list. However, it should be deleted because it's for the gleam.io site. If I check the browsing data in Firefox after restarting, it shows up as site=gleam.io.

Furthermore, I question whether the cookie should be allowed in the first place, since I have Strict Tracking Protection enabled, which should disable all cross-site cookies.

Just wanted to add my voice to the complaints about further AI being added to firefox. Firefox as a browser is a refuge from the enshittification of the internet as a whole, with it being one of the few non-chromium browser options, please dont join in the effort to force AI on everyone. At the very least it shouldnt take multiple options to disable AI in my browser. But at best I would love to see firefox development focused on performance rather than more AI bullshit that only CEO's want.

I've been doing free advertising for Firefox for years, successfully convincing friends, family and coworkers to reject chromium browsers and make the difficult choice to switch browsers and get use to a new interface on Firefox. I know most people like me are able to do this by touting that Firefox actually cares about keeping your data private and allowing users to opt in to many "features" that chromium browsers have you opt out of. Unfortunately with the recent inclusion of AI settings that have been turned on by default and hidden under layers of setting menus, it looks like Firefox is turning to the same tactics we came here to escape. If this trend coninues, I won't be able to in good concious recommend this browser to others, and might as well just switch back to chrome which more websites have better support for. I hope the company makes the right decision and keeps AI out of Firefox

Why is Firefox leanining into this ai nonsense? Its antithetical to privacy amd security, it slows down the browser for no benefit, so i end up jumping through hoops to turn it all off. If I wanted AI, I'd be using chrome or edge. I don't want AI. If firrfox continues to shove this ai onto us i'll have to switch again. Its self sabotage at this point

Please remove and do not add any AI/ML features to Firefox, it's the only mainstream browser of this kind left, i was planning on buying some merch but I don't think this company deserves my money if it tries to make cash off me in an insidious way either way

I know I am far from the first person to bring this up, but it is absolutely horrid how a browser that is supposed to be one of the better options for privacy is starting to integrate more and more unwanted AI "features". None of us want this, nobody asked for this. Generative AI (including LLMs like ChatGPT and its equivalents) is horrific to even try to get a correct answer out of. It's simply processing your input and guessing what you want to hear in its output. It doesn't give facts, it doesn't help the user experience, it just makes things worse.

Every single time a new AI...thing is added, I have to go find a way to turn it off. If this keeps going, I cannot see a future where Firefox is a viable option for secure browsing. If anything, it may actually become on-par with or, dare I say worse than Google Chrome.

I don't know who thought it was a good idea to put someone who is pro-AI in charge of the anti-AI browser. I'm on Firefox because it doesn't use AI. You want to add in the most foolish, expensive, environmentally destructive, money sink that none of the userbase wants? Fine. I don't have brand loyalty. You choose personal wealth over the health of our environment and community by shoveling AI stupidity at us, I will drop this browser like a lead weight and switch to the lesser known browsers. I hear Waterfox hasn't bought into the slop yet. Might be time to change over to a more mindful system.

Anthony Enzor-DeMeo wants to push way more AI onto Firefox. I originally became a Firefox user for the customizability, privacy, and security it offered in comparison to other browsers. How does Mozilla Firefox intend to maintain these features with so much AI slop? Will there continue to be versions of Firefox available without the AI components? I'm sick of having to turn off new data-stealing AI settings all the time on a browser I once trusted. I hate that I am now looking for other options.

This isn't so much a question as a complaint, I guess. Get your shit together, Firefox!!!

I am very disappointed with the recent news from Firefox's new CEO to evolve into an AI browser. I specifically have been using Firefox to avoid AI generated results like those in Google/Bing. Firefox is losing its reputation as a trustworthy, user-first browser. I will stop using Firefox if/when these AI features are added.
