    In no particular order

    • Kill off all AI in the browser. And don’t re-add it!
    • Do not use hidden extensions that can only be disabled in about:config
    • Make it possible to have tabs and a settable homepage in mobile Firefox
    • Make ALL telemetry and user tracking opt-in
    • Reinstate a fully customizable UI like in the past
    • Make it possible to locally load extensions (no, disabaling validation or temporary loading them for development reasons is not a solution)
    • Allow for app mode (see Chromium-based browser’s --app parameter)

      This confuses me because all the other browsers have integrated AI, so removing it makes little sense. I do think it will eventually move to the OS though and that time can’t come soon enough.

    You have so little respect for your community that you used an LLM to write this obsequious, patronising announcement instead of having a human employee write it. Does nobody there care anymore?

    Remove the AI parts - and let people opt-in, for local LLMs if you think that is needed.

    Revamp the settings, so they are clear, simple and all there.

    Add a bookmark manager in the browser, that is simple, and can do the basic stuff like finding duplicates and test if the adresses is working and so forth.

    Better security about addons…

      Would be cool to have more options to clean bookmarks indeed. I’ve got so manybover the years, it would take to long to manually check each one…

      I’m intrigued. Do you mind sharing your thoughts about this? What’s the issue as it stands and how would you like to see things improved?

        Well, the “General” tab is very long. It could benefit from being split up. Fx the theme and looks should have its own tab. Same goes for Privacy and Security. Split them up. Though there is an overlap between the two, it would make it easier for most regular users to find their way. At the same time, they would learn a bit about what is about security, and what is about privacy.
