First focusing on AI and now this, already cancelled my donations, do we have a good fork to move to?

    That bugzilla page says they targeted version 122 for this change. I have Firefox 122 on my PC and when I look at the about:config page, that setting is still set to False. I think y’all are freaking out about a very small thing.

    If you use Firefox, and you check your about:config page and you see true for that setting, then just change it to false and go about your day.

    Or are we all just talking philosophically about this?

      Sure, you can change literally everything about Firefox if you pay a time cost. The defaults do matter because that’s one more thing to fix when installing it. We could say this about any negative feature.

        With Firefox sync you only ever have to do it once.

        Firefox is a super easy install for me. Install login and all of my settings auto apply.

        I agree with all of that. 👍

        I just didn’t see anyone else addressing where the change lives in the browser and how to un-do it if you want to opt out.
