Something that hasn't been made clear: Firefox will have an option to completely disable all AI features.
We've been calling it the AI kill switch internally. I'm sure it'll ship with a less murderous name, but that's how seriously and absolutely we're taking this.

@firefoxwebdevs Right now, Mozilla would probably be the first company to be diagnosed with ADHD. It really can’t seem to focus and do something productive. The question was never “should Firefox have IA?”. The question is “to do what?”. Mozilla is communicating that IA is coming. Not announcing a new feature. TBH, it’s worrying. IA should be an implementation detail, not the central point.
@firefoxwebdevs It’s like Mozilla is a car company and it’s advertising a new car with leather in it. Ok, cool but what is it? A berline, a pickup, a SUV? Will I recharge with electricity or fuel? And Mozilla’s answer is: “it has leather in it!”

It’s… not great.
