Between this and the AI chatbot shit they’ve added to desktop I’m a bit annoyed with Firefox lately

    i hate that fucking ai popup that comes up when i accidentally click on something for 0.1 milliseconds too long. it just gets in the way. i haven’t even looked at whatever “info” the ai is trying to give me. i always just get annoyed as soon as i see it and go to close it.

    fuck ai.

    i turned the settings on the homepage you see in your post off and i turned the ai popup off but for some reason the popups wont actually turn off

      Firefox has “Studies” to test features, which will turn some settings back on. You might be in a study. You can turn studies off in settings or leave specific studies in about:studies.

      I use exclusively firefox and have for like a decade, and you just taught me something I’ve never encountered. How would you even stumble into this? You have to click and hold on something for like 2 full seconds

        for me its way less. its almost instant. maybe i need to do a fresh install or there’s some other setting for the click length i missed.

        its a new ‘feature’ tho. you wouldn’t have noticed it in the last decade
