So I asked each model where it (thinks) it is hosted/running.

Can we trust those responses, or is it more mirage with plausible-sounding responses?

Whoever wrote this doesn’t know how AI works. They don’t know where they’re hosted. He could have asked Mozilla instead of panic-posting. This guy keeps saying his data was given to “third party hosts” but he has no idea who the hosts are, Mozilla could be the one hosting the models…

Mozilla says this was a flub; it will refine the onboarding around Smart Window to limit memory formation to post-opt-in activity only. That’s obviously the right fix.

So, false alarm. Try beta software, get software bugs.

booooooooo

does surprise me (use LibreWolf instead)

“unexpectedly”

Is that what the AI that wrote that section of the code told them?

I just read that back to myself, and 5 years ago, that would have sounded like a conspiracy wingnut stance. Scary that it’s legit today.

Unfortunate Firefox L. At leadt they let you turn it off.
