@firefoxwebdevs@mastodon.social @jaffathecake@mastodon.social it’s hard to believe the “kill switch” will actually do what it says. We’ve been told time and time again “AI” will be “opt-in” just to have the features repeatedly turned back on after users have disabled them.

Why is this
any different?

@josh@vickerson.me @jaffathecake@mastodon.social which features have you personally experienced this with in Firefox?

@firefoxwebdevs@mastodon.social @josh@vickerson.me @jaffathecake@mastodon.social I have had browser.ml.* settings I disabled by hand in about:config re-enable repeatedly with new versions. I posted about it on bsky and a pile of other people chimed in saying the same had happened to them too.

Do not try to pretend you don't know this was happening.

⏫ Firefox was all sorts of happy to answer questions until this one came up and they've been silent for 24 hours
