Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

AI-assisted tab groups, reduced memory usage on Linux, unit conversions in the address bar AND expanded PiP support – it's Firefox 141.

AI-assisted tab groups

pls, mozilla, i beg you. be the anti ai company. you can't be climate friendly while pushing ai.

"As the AI-side of the equation happens on your device no details on which tabs you’re viewing are sent to the cloud for processing."

yeah but i don't want them to use ai at all

The issue about being climate friendly isn't during inference but during training. It's the training that takes a lot of time and huge amounts of energy.

Seriously. I hope there is a way to turn this off

i did go digging and there's an entry in about:config for browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled

Cool I'll have to check when I go home. I wouldn't be surprised if I did this already.

Hope there's a simple button to switch that garbage off rather than having to dig through about:config with every subsequent update.

@omgubuntu@floss.social and one more Crap they force in their browser user don't want.

a new thing to add in the "why firefox died" history.

I like Firefox, but I loathe AI as anything else but a choice, and it should be an ethical trained LLM.
