here’s a worked example of why nobody believes firefox’s AI kill switch will be anything but a marketing wedge

these showed up in my File menu, displacing the New Private Window item and fucking up my muscle memory, in spite of having browser.ml.enabled set to false. the setting for this is a new nonsensically named option, extensions.ml.enabled. a merry fuck you to the guys who showed up in my replies telling me to just disable the config flag I already disabled months ago.

a screenshot of the mozilla Firefox menu bar on macOS. the file menu is open, showing two new menu items “New AI Window” and “New Classic Window” right above the existing “New Private Window” option, physically displacing it down on the screen. neither of the new menu items has a keyboard shortcut.
