“Mozilla has been adding in llm & ai related features to Firefox for a while, enabling them by default without asking the user… The main problem with this is users are having this forced on them with no gui option to disable these features.”
Article contains instructions for disabling the LLM through about:config.
Article says the LLM is now enabled by default and there is no UI to turn it off. Is that wrong? Your link refers to Firefox 133 which is quite old by now.

It’s hard to tell from there.

So, enabled how? Tell me how it’s enabled, that I can’t turn of by the UI? I use Firefox, do you? I haven’t met LLMs in my use, in any way - most demands that you sign in, and I haven’t… Sure, you have the possibility in the sidebar, but you have to use it… it’s an option.
So tell me, what does the article say, is enabled by default? The possibility?
