i chose firefox for the customization and privacy features. you built this browser's user base on your dedication to protecting our data, time to follow up. how will you protect user privacy when LLMs and generative AI feed endlessly on our data? why boast customization and then add a feature that cannot be modified or turned off in a simple, accessible manner? i fear for the safety of my data and privacy with the addition of AI features. if this integration is not cancelled, i will be deleting firefox.

YouTube keeps requiring me to sign on every time I access internet for anything. I am not using YouTube.

Was hoping Firefox would stop this nonsense But it doesn't prevent you tube from tracking my surfing.

Maybe you can make a patch to stop this invasion of my use of Internet?

Fingers crossed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The primary issue I keep running into is that when I consume media within the browser, say browsing reddit or watching movies, the cache seems to fill up quickly to around about 500mb, and the crap hits the fan. Webpages don't load, error messages show up, tabs stop responding and become unusable, videos become irretrievable or buffer continuously, it sucks. I have it set to clear my cache when I quit from the menu but that doesn't work. So every time the app starts having an aneurysm I go into settings, force quit, and clear the cache. Firefox is the only browser I use, but because of this I'm no longer committed to it, I will happily trade it for something better when it comes along. I expect nothing to change.

On my copy of Firefox for Android, I have had issues with the "Jump Back In" feature, where the preview image doesn't match the site listed in the description. I think it is that the site is the last one used, but the preview is the site preview from the second-to-last site rather than latest. This is confusing. Clicking the link takes you back to the last site visited correctly, so it looks like the preview is the bit that is wrong. After clicking a few sites back and forth, it sometimes gets the preview to show correctly for a while and show the right site, but it always seems to break again and lag behind on the preview again.

See attached image as an example. Description shows Minute Cryptic websitr being last visited (which is correct), however preview shows a Google Search, even though that was second to last tab visited.

Any thoughts or things I can test?

This is latest Firefox for Android (146.0.2) on Android 10. This has been happening for me for many months.
