Starting with Firefox 148, which rolls out on Feb. 24, you’ll find a new AI controls section within the desktop browser settings. It provides a single place to block current and future generative AI features in Firefox.

They actually listened to the community, thats very nice.

    Doesn’t work. Try to do it without giving them a phone number or installing some other application. You can’t. Or I couldn’t.

    Then, after you can’t and you think, “I’ll go to the forums, see if there is a way.” You’ll find out Mozilla has problems with sign in. I mean come on… But this is irrelevant, this whole flow is dumb. And it presumes that I shouldn’t be able to control my own browser.

    We need a new firefox - just like the original firefox showed that Mozilla was bloat and dumb, we need another that shows the current is bloat and dumb.

      how did you try? did you try registering a mozilla account?

      You’ll find out Mozilla has problems with sign in.

      It’s probably temporary, it doesn’t have problems usually

      And it presumes that I shouldn’t be able to control my own browser.

      they do it so that malware cant install unvetted addons to your browser. and if someone signs a malware addon this way, and some people report it, mozilla can disable it for everyone.

      what you need is a footgun. you have it in about:config.
