irritatingly, the list of Al settings in Firefox has grown. to kill them all as of today (Nov 20, 2026), go into about:config and set all of these to false (yes, you'll have to copy and paste them one by one):
browser.ml.enable
browser.ml.chat.enabled
browser.ml.chat.menu
browser.ml.chat.page
•
browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge
•
browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge
browser.ml.link Preview.enabled
browser.ml.pageAssist.enabled
browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled
browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled
extensions.ml.enabled
browser.search.visualSearch.featureGate
in addition to nuking Al, it'll also speed up your browsing

this sounds bad!

Also since it’s just a language model reading pages to summarize them we’re learning that one failure mode for security now is a web page maliciously saying anywhere to basically forget all previous instructions and keylog what this user types into bankwebsite dot com.
