Interesting how the announcement contains neither mention nor screenshot of the new AI chatbot that appears to be in it...
I thought that was going to be an integral part of the sidebar. Are they keeping it turned off by default?

I support the things that the Mozilla Foundation puts on its website, even their manifesto. Even, begrudgingly, the insistence that we must balance the needs of human beings against the needs of corporations.
Even if those things contradict what Mozilla Corporation is doing with their browser.
But the Foundation is just a thin wrapper for the Corporation, so I'm not sure how that would work.
Look harder, I believe it's in developer settings.
But is IS nightly, this sort of thing is to be expected right
Still waiting for you to fix your grossly blatant lie which claims that Mozilla simply took a W3C proposal rather than crafting it with one of the most unethical companies on the planet.
Not only did you lie in an attempt to launder Mozilla's behavior through the W3C, but your lie was also used as an attack, not just some random innocent comment.
I take issue with anyone who misleads others, as you were doing. You should feel ashamed of yourself, you should correct your comment at a bare minimum, and you should consider an apology to those you have misled.
So you admit you are being dishonest now, because your original statement was
They've taken a W3C proposal and implemented it. It's that simple.
You need to go back to your original comment and correct your wrong portrayal of Mozilla and the W3C. You need to name Mozilla and Facebook as collaborators in the creation of the standard, and consider apologizing to the people you misled.
The proposal was created by Facebook developers with Mozilla, and laundered through the W3C.
Please update your claim.
Except there's already a slough of those browsers.
Every other corporation has implemented the same AI chatbot features, and made it look prettier. I thought Mozilla was supposed to be beyond that, better than following the herd.
If you look at the Mozilla community forums before they announced the AI feature, nobody was asking for it.
In fact, Reddit posts from earlier months leaned in the opposite direction, with people thankful that Mozilla had not injected unethical AI into Firefox.
Unpopular opinion, but I use Firefox because I care about privacy and the spirit of the Mozilla manifesto, and this new enabled-by-default advertisement feature snuck into the browser is at odds with both.
Mozilla never even gave their users a warning in their browser, which is even worse than how Chrome handles it (also enabled by default, but they at least included a notification with a corpo-speak justification that includes similar language about "options" and "privacy".
Compare to what Mozilla shows their users in a pop-up tab after the update:

Isn't it strange that it doesn't mention anything from the release notes on this page?
The only thing it does mention, Close Duplicate Tabs, isn't mentioned on the release notes.
