The setting exists, but may or may not actually be respected based on user reports. Just like their auto-updates, you can turn the option off, but whether the feature is actually disabled is another question entirely. I don't trust Mozilla enough. For one, not giving UI options and hiding all the settings in about:config where non-technical users can't access is a shitty thing to do. Second, I have zero trust that the settings actually do anything since many don't. I don't believe for one moment that turning off their AI features actually 100% prevents that code from running.

This is not a position based on anything factual. If you have evidence of a setting not being honoured it will be treated as a bug and fixed, there is no evidence of bad faith about that that I can recall. As for about:config, if you submit working patches to better expose options you care about I'm pretty sure they'll be considered, but every complex software has obscure options not exposed through a polished UI and frankly it's OK...
