"If you’d like to turn these features off, open about:config in the Firefox address bar, search for browser.ml.enable, set it to false, and that should disable everything."
This is nice to know but in future versions of Firefox that single config switch (browser.ml.enable) will both change names and split into multiple sub-switches, most likely appearing in different pages of about:config.
These sub-switches will then not remain consistent.
Bank on it.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 1y agoMozilla's default setting is true. This is the tired, old "opt-out" tactic Almost no one changes defaults, according to the experts It's perverse to think about:config is doing favours for anyone except Mozilla and its business partners Otherwise the defaults would be false, i.e., opt-in
- snapplebobapple 1y agoIts easier to just go to a bfirefox rowser flavor that has better defaults like librewolf or maybe zen browser.
- tom_alexander 1y agoIt's already not true. I had browser.ml.enable and browser.ml.chat.enabled set to false but I was still getting an option to ask an AI Chatbot about stuff in my right-click context menu. I had to also set browser.ml.chat.menu to false. Also pick a lane mozilla. Either use "enable" or "enabled", don't use both.
