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.

      A lot of these are extensions that are folded into the main Firefox feature set, experimental features or not even related to the browser?

        Pocket’s dead now.

        Like another user said, where’s “open image in new tab”? (I notice you didn’t reply to them.)

        Remember XUL extensions and real browser themes?

        Remember when you didn’t need a developer account to make extensions and you could distribute them via your own website?

        But of course, Firefox never takes away choices that were previously offered.

          “Open image…” is still there. If you’re not seeing it anymore, it’s sites taking it away from you. (I notice you didn’t check before getting outraged.)

          Didn’t people generally hate pocket’s forced integration? Anyways I’ve never said that they’ve never removed features nor was disagreeing that what you said isn’t generally true. It’s just that the list posted has a lot of examples that aren’t exactly a removal of a Firefox feature which hurts the argument being made. There’s more than enough reasons as you mentions to make a case for it.

          Like another user said, where’s “open image in new tab”? (I notice you didn’t reply to them.)

          I don’t see where’s the relevance in pointing out that I didn’t reply to another user’s post when I’m in agreement with them.

          Relax man, let’s have a civil discussion that doesn’t devolve into sarcasm.

            Pocket was originally an extension before Mozilla forced integration and bloated it into something it wasn’t. The “something it wasn’t” part, Stories, is still Firefox bloatware but without the Pocket label.
