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.
how did you try? did you try registering a mozilla account?
It’s probably temporary, it doesn’t have problems usually
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.
Nah, I think we just need a dialog box - could be like osx - “are you sure you want to allow the plugin that you said you wanted to use? It was built by: you, not signed by Mozilla.” Maybe put a “You have unsigned plugins running” tool tip - that gets displayed at startup or every 8 hours.
Again - imagine if you couldn’t install the programs you wanted on your computer - this is current firefox.
I suppose we are both beating the already-dead-horse on different ends now.
that won’t help to warn the largest part of the target audience, those who were trained by big tech to dismiss those dialogs by reflex without reading a word in it
