I came across a Tumblr post detailing how to disable AI “features” in Firefox as of 11/20/25 and I’m expecting an arms race of new/changed fields vs new strategies to disable them. So I wanted to ask, what would you recommend a lifelong Firefox user use, for PC and Android?
I would recommend continuing to use Firefox until you actually don’t like it, rather than switch because of yet another social media post raging about AI. 90% of the time I’ve seen people complaining about AI being “shoved in their faces” it’s something that I had no idea existed and had to actively seek out and enable to see it in action.
Just don’t use features that you don’t want to use.
Most people have no idea their data is being scraped from the services they use either, that doesn’t mean they like it or that they should.
Unlike some folks in this thread, I never got an opt in pop up for the “features” on desktop or mobile.
Dude above’s advice is just bad. Firefox defaults to some crappy shit, such as data collection, all the features such as pocket or what have you. By default its just not a secure browser, its really not.
I would advise against using it. Librewolf exists, you need to tweak the settings for it to be a normal browser, with data permanence, but after just a few tweaks you have a relatively secure browser.
