<p>Mozilla announces more AI in Firefox, still failing to understand that at this point their market share is made of tech savvy people who do not want that.</p><p>Mozilla, please. Stop chasing the fads. Get your own values.</p><p>People use Firefox to get access to an open web, use a sturdy browser, and not to be tracked. Build in that direction and that direction only.</p><p>Nobody from your current user base will recommend Firefox with AI to their friends.</p><p><a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/ai-window/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/ai-window/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/ai</span><span class="invisible">-window/</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/firefox/" rel="tag">#firefox</a> <a href="/tags/ai/" rel="tag">#ai</a> <a href="/tags/privacy/" rel="tag">#privacy</a></p>

I&#x27;m not looking forward to the moaning about how important <a href="/tags/firefox/" rel="tag">#firefox</a> security fixes are. A project that pushes &quot;security fixes&quot; continuously for 20 years is insecure on a conceptual level.<br><br>

I have been using <a href="/tags/firefox/" rel="tag">#Firefox</a> also exclusively on all my laptops and lab computers both on <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#Linux</a> and <a href="/tags/windows/" rel="tag">#Windows</a>. Only make sense I would also use it or its derivatives on my <a href="/tags/android/" rel="tag">#Android</a> phones too. Yes I am. I use <a href="/tags/iceraven/" rel="tag">#IceRaven</a> and <a href="/tags/fennec/" rel="tag">#Fennec</a> on my phone, both come with browser extension support and are still receiving updates now and then. However still, one small issue bugs me. Although sync work for both browsers after I login my <a href="/tags/mozilla/" rel="tag">#Mozilla</a> account, meaning I can see all tabs and history and all across devices, sending a tab from one device to another barely works. I remember with my last phone it worked most of time, more then half I suppose, but with the phone I am using now, it never worked for both browsers. I might have to give vanilla firefox a try though, before I am sure.<br>

Also yesterday I found out that <a href="/tags/amazon/" rel="tag">#Amazon</a> website won&#x27;t open on my laptop <a href="/tags/firefox/" rel="tag">#Firefox</a> running <a href="/tags/debian/" rel="tag">#Debian</a>. I have to use <a href="/tags/amazon/" rel="tag">#Amazon</a> for both work and life. Weird thing is, it opens just fine with <a href="/tags/librewolf/" rel="tag">#LibreWolf</a>. Tried clear cache and cookie, did not work.<br>
