These features are unwanted by many, keep increasing, and the methods used to turn each individual piece off keep changing, growing, and moving, and that’s JUST on the user level.
It’s at least an order of magnitude worse to have to pull the unwanted stuff back out if you’re forking Firefox.
So don’t opt-in. They’re opt-in and not being forced on you.
If you don’t like it then use another browser. I’m happy with Firefox and will not opt-in to the ai stuff.
Mountains and mole hills man.
Apparently I was wrong. Can’t be assed replying to the people telling me as frankly I’m fighting not to want to throw myself off a bridge today and can’t even begin to have a discussion.
They are not opt-in, they are on by default and opt-out AI features. They said so themselves in their public communications. Also, they aren’t future possible considerations, they are concrete plans that are underway and have funds allocated and feature goals set.
They’re using funds and resources to build ai bullshit that very few are asking for. It’s the fact that there is already limited resources for open source and libre softwares, and out of all the things they are choosing those that are already so clearly disdained by their dwindling user base

Mozilla could make this straightforward and easy.

Why do you suppose that is?
only matter of time, before its not opt-in, its always a testing the waters.
