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

Disabled as in there is no AI chatbot you can chat with by default until you set it up. If you enable the sidebar/vertical tabs, there is an “AI chatbot” button, but if you click that, you’ll still have to set it up yourself, if I remember correctly. And you can remove that button the way I described.
