This is how to disable the new “AI” chatbot in #Firefox:

  • type about:config into the awesome bar
  • skip the warning for first time modders
  • locate the browser.ml.chat.enabled setting and set it to false

In the #Librewolf fork, a thoughtful person has already done this for you.

(HT to @kuketzblog@social.tchncs.de for the hint!)

    What about the Android version? I don’t think the method works for that

      Yeah when they add it to mobile firefox were fucked, rated one star and they vommented saying they have no plans to add about:config to mobile firefox, telling me to use the beta shit version instead.

      On desktop Firefox, it’s not enabled by default. On Firefox for Android, it’s not even there, i.e. you can’t even enable it.
