Mozilla still doesn't get it.

Get what?

The page says this thing will be opt-in. As it also says, they can't ignore the effect AI is having in the world. I'm not much of a fan of a lot of this effect, but see some benefits in places.

They could ignore it. Why not? I switched from Chrome to FF and FF hard-locks 3x a day for me now. Force quit, start over. Is an AI window going to stop me going back to Chrome? Who cares if FF has an AI window if FF is too janky to be a good web browser... It's just lipstick on a pig.

I've never had this problem. Which OS do you run?

That's not normal, and certainly not a typical reason people avoid Firefox. Have you given it a try and investigated if this is solvable? Sounds like one of those issues that if you ignore, it'll just pop up elsewhere with some other program.

Damned if they do AI, damned if they don't.
