Super frustrating the AI Chatbots are infecting my Firefox browser now. It looks like malware and pretty much acts like it since it cannot be disabled from the sidebar outside of closing this window. I like vertical tabs, but they require so many other options by default. Even more frustrating that the URL goes to a chrome browser link: chrome://browser/content/genai/chat.html

Alarms very heightened.

    about:config has all of these set for me. I don’t see anything AI related, but I also use sidebery for tabs/sidebar

    browser.ml.chat.enabled false
    browser.ml.chat.shortcuts false
    browser.ml.chat.shortcuts.custom false
    browser.ml.chat.sidebar false
    browser.ml.enable false
    extensions.ml.enabled false
    extensions.ui.mlmodel.hidden true

        Lol yeah, I meant I don’t have the AI junk in firefox’s ui using those settings. Even that chat selection ‘chrome’ page is essentially blank other than a model selector. I don’t know if it usually has anything else, but it’s as local/internal as about:config and the like.
