Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.
Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:
If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.
Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out.
if you want to turn off as much ai crap in firefox as possible, from this post on mozilla's connect forum, you should also set all these to false using about:config:
browser.ml.enable
extensions.ml.enabled
browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled
browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled
browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled
to get rid of the revamped sidebar, which is also trying to incorporate ai:
sidebar.revamp
unrelated anyone got browser recommendations for when we have to jump ship from firefox
irritatingly, the list of AI settings in Firefox has grown. to kill them all as of today (Nov 20, 2026), go into about:config and set all of these to false (yes, you'll have to copy and paste them one by one):
browser.ml.enable
browser.ml.chat.enabled
browser.ml.chat.menu
browser.ml.chat.page
browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge
browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge
browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled
browser.ml.pageAssist.enabled
browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled
browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled
extensions.ml.enabled
browser.search.visualSearch.featureGate
in addition to nuking AI, it'll also speed up your browsing
hey here's a website for downloading any video or image from any website.
works w/ youtube, soundcloud, twitch, twitter (gifs and videos), tumblr (video and audio), and most other websites you're probably lookin to download stuff off of.

Unfortunately, today may be the day I lose my wife after everything she has endured.
Tonight, she was admitted to the intensive care unit after her condition worsened and she lost the ability to breathe. She is now staying alive with the help of medical machines.
I will never forget watching people ignore this desperate plea while I watch my wife fade before my eyes, unable to save her on my own.
Doctors told me her condition is extremely critical, and without urgent treatment she may not survive another night. So I am begging you: can you help me save her life? I plead with you as a husband and a father in Gaza, watching my wife collapse in front of me and unable to stop what is happening to her. Please donate now and help me save her life before it is too late.
I will never forgive those who choose to ignore this plea.
.Please, please, look at my donation campaign and help me. I have newborn children and my son Ahmed needs treatment. He is a heart patient and suffers from two holes in the heart. He needs help and treatment. We do not have money and we are stuck in Egypt because of the Gaza war. My wife and I lost my jobs and there is no source of income. I would like you to help. To care for my children and provide the necessary treatment for my child Ahmed, please donate even a little thing to save my child’s life
I write to you with a heavy heart 💔 My children and I are going through very difficult times, and no one is asking about us. My son needs treatment and medication, and he needs milk, diapers, and urgent care. Please don't leave us alone in these difficult circumstances. 😔
We need your help. The situation is extremely difficult. You are our last hope. Food, clothes, milk, rent—everything has become incredibly expensive. My son, Ahmed, needs heart surgery and eye surgery. Please help my son so he can complete his treatment and undergo the operations. In addition to my family in Gaza, my parents, brothers, and sisters are also living in dire circumstances. Please help me for the sake of my family.
My name is Sharif, and I suffer from a back injury. I need intensive treatment and physical therapy to recover. Unfortunately, we lost everything in Gaza; we have no income and cannot work. The situation is extremely difficult.
PLEASE HELP 🙏🏽 EVEN A SIMPLE REPOST AND COMMENTING CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Hello, I'm Sharif Al-Amoudi from Gaza. I'm married and have twins, Hussam and Ahmed, who are five months old. They were born after four atte
Ahmed is suffering greatly. His condition is worsening because I can't afford his surgery; I keep postponing it. Every post I ignore means an extra hour of pain. Please donate; your help could save his life.
I've tried so hard to make my fundraising campaign succeed so I can provide even a few of my children's basic needs, but despite all my efforts, I haven't been able to raise enough support.
Today, I'm asking for something simple: if you can't donate, please help by sharing this post with as many people as you can. A single reblog or share could reach someone willing to help.
My daughter is preparing to start university, and we are struggling to afford her essential university supplies. Your support—whether through a donation or by spreading our story—could make a real difference for our family.
Thank you to everyone who stands with us, believes in us, and helps keep hope alive. ❤️

I need you to stop what you're doing. Stop playing your game, stop reading your book, stop listening to your music. I need you, all of you, please, to go and help palestinians. Right now and in the future. I need you to help them because they need our help, our help to survive the horrible conditions created by israel.
Please, do something for those who need it, today.
In this scorching summer, our tent has become an unbearable place to live. The suffocating heat fills it throughout the day, leaving us with no shade to protect us and no breeze to bring relief. When night falls, another struggle begins as rats and insects spread throughout the tent, stealing our children's sleep and filling their hearts with fear. Every day, we endure the relentless summer heat and the dangers of these harsh conditions. All we hope for is a safe shelter that preserves our dignity and gives our children the chance to live in safety.

While this post is being shared across Tumblr, my mother is still struggling to breathe. Her pain does not disappear when I close my phone. Her illness does not pause while we wait for help.
We are five children watching our mother become weaker day after day, and there is nothing harder than feeling unable to give her the treatment she urgently needs.
We are only €1,260 away from our goal, yet two days have passed without a single donation.
Please do not let our story be forgotten. If you can donate, even a small amount can help. If you cannot, please reblog and share our campaign.
Sometimes one reblog reaches the person who changes everything.
A full day has passed without a single donation. My mother’s suffering does not pause while we wait. She is still struggling with pain, exhaustion, and difficulty breathing every day. We are so close to our goal and only need €1,260 more. If you can help, please consider donating. If not, please share our story with others
THIS POST HAS BEEN SHARED BY NEARLY 350 PEOPLE, AND STILL NOT A SINGLE DONATION HAS BEEN MADE. MY MOTHER IS SUFFERING GREATLY. I BEG YOU, PLEASE DONATE NOW.
