Share your feedback on the AI services experiment in Nightly

Hi folks, 

In the next few days, we will start the Nightly experiment which provides easy access to AI services from the sidebar. This functionality is entirely optional, and it’s there to see if it’s a helpful addition to Firefox. It is not built into any core functionality and needs to be turned on by you to see it. 

If you want to try the experiment, activate it via Nightly Settings > Firefox Labs (please see full instructions here). 

We’d love to hear your feedback once you try out the feature, and we’re open to all your ideas and thoughts, whether it’s small tweaks to the current experience or big, creative suggestions that could boost your productivity and make accessing your favorite tools and services in Firefox even easier.

Thanks so much for helping us improve Firefox!

I will DUMP Firefox like a pile of diseased manure the SECOND it starts implementing ANY AI. AI is the reason I refuse to use Chrome and similar garbage.

Please don't implement AI. It's not needed.

We as a community. Do not want this. Thank you. You are making access to useless misinformation all the more convenient when we are literally. in. the solution. a normal web browser. Where you can look things up. NORMALLY. without being lied to by a useless machine.

I have absolutely no desire to use AI in my browser other than the most targeted circumstances (E.g. translations). The underlying technology is a disaster for the environment, unreliable, and largely unethical. I want my browser to be quick, resource light and privacy focused. That's what I use Firefox for.

My apologies to all Mozilla employees in community management that are forced to be the ones to handle this backlash, backlash that they are probably aware is warranted (for whatever smug, greedy gits responsible for this decision).

There is NOTHING to be gained from adding machine learning to Firefox for users, or even developers. But it brings gullible investors, so it's unfortunately gonna happen... so I'll be changing browsers when that happens.

As a long time user I absolutely do not want this. I use Firefox to try to avoid this kind of thing. This kind of AI is a pointless fad that brings no added utility to anything. Please, I'm so tired of trying to avoid this **bleep**.

This is 3rd reply that tells "No AI" within in just 4 minutes, It would be extreme funny if firefox still adds it despite the hate they got (and still getting) from community. I have over 1000 notifications sent for just this thread (Kudos, new posts on this thread, etc)

I am extremely against this change, I do not support the use of generative AI chatbots or image creation due to the myriad of ethical concerns relating to the data collection needed to facilitate them.

NO.A thousand times no. So-called AI is an empty promise being shipled by tech companies and VCs who don't want to lose investor money. It doesn't actually add anything of value to the average consumer experience. It is a lie built on theft that spits words at you with no meaning behind them.

AI is not intelligent it does not think or comprehend. It is a giant number cruncher dealing solely in probability.

Rather than AI I would much rather have work go towards a genuinely functional search engine with deep advanced search options. Then instead of asking an AI to find information and getting back a bunch of word salad, I could just search for it myself.

I love Firefox, it's been my go to browser for nearly twenty years. You have a good product! it doesn't need AI.

I do not want AI (even if it's optional at this point) in anything and certainly not in Firefox. I use Firefox BECAUSE it's not like other browsers/tech companies in trying to monetise/use user data.

I too, made an account just to share my feedback on this misfeature. Our company has a "no AI" policy, and you bet I spent the first few minutes after installation of Firefox 130 figuring out the about:config setting to disable chat organization wide (it's browser.ml.chat.enabled, set it to false). Unfortunately, there are no published ADMX policy files for Firefox 130 yet, so I'm having to put this into the catchall Preferences policy.

What a misstep, Mozilla. This makes you look terrible.

This is a terrible idea. Firefox is one of the few remaining browsers that doesn’t incorporate A.I. and it will make the experience so much worse if you do. A.I. is unhelpful at best, and dangerous to both users and the environment at worst.

If I wanted stuff like this, I would be using Chrome

Emissary04

If Firefox does this I will uninstall the app or find a way to avoid it. Generative AI and AI search engines are horribly inaccurate. This idea is poorly executed and ruins the looks of the browser. Please do not do this.

Please leave all of the AI nonsense FAR away from Firefox. It's one of the last popular browsers not stuffed to the brim with this kind of garbage.

Leave the AI in the garbage where it belongs. Let the other browsers self destruct if they want to, but don't include it here.

Ai has been poorly implemented and poorly recieved. Companies have to start learning that just because it's new ans being discussed, doesn't mean literally anyone actually wants it.

"AI"?

No thanks.

It's a misnomer.

It vomits nonsense

It"s yet another capitalist wet dream, money machine that robs creators and wrecks the planet.

AI is nothing but a money and energy sink that produces unreliable and unverifiable answers. If half the money spent on this went to human staff instead, it would produce a higher volume of better quality output and create an increasing pool of experience that can be passed on to others faster and more accurately than an AI could learn them.

AI will not fix your problems, and will only create new ones, destroying customers trust. Please rethink this decision.

if AI is integrated, i will genuinely begin to search for alternatives as i'm sure many others will too.

eheisman

I do not want AI services in my browser, given environmental and ethical concerns around the use of AI, as well as potential privacy problems with AI companies training on user data.  I expect better from Firefox.

tyzzieee

Regardless of how unintrusive the feature is going to be, the implementation of AI services is likely going to make me switch to a different browser. AI is not necessary or helpful to Firefox in any way, and it is going to push users away.

Hello, I think this is my first time leaving a reply of this sort, despite having been a Firefox user for 20+ years:  please don't do this. 

AI provides no real benefits, and giving it attention like this only encourages them to keep it alive.  Don't give it the air, let it die.

I don't want anything to do with products that implement "AI". I will disable this "feature" ASAP and strongly consider other products that do not include it.

It’s unclear whether this will able to be fully turned off if integrated into a main release? I don’t find LLMs useful, and I don’t want one slowing down my browsing experience.

PLEASE do not add AI anything to firefox. I don't need it. I don't want it. It hurts the environment. Hurts privacy. Hurts small writers and artists. If I wanted to support that unethical BS, I'd use google.
