Mozilla 已经在 Firefox 中默认启用了人工智能和大型语言模型功能，引发了隐私和性能方面的担忧。用户报告称 CPU 和 RAM 使用率很高，并且对缺乏简单的图形用户界面选项来禁用这些功能感到沮丧。关于数据使用，Mozilla 的服务条款也因这些人工智能集成而受到质疑，禁用这些功能需要手动编辑 Firefox 的配置文件（`about:config` 或 `prefs.js`），并设置大量的偏好设置。即使将初始偏好设置为“false”，一些人工智能选项仍然存在。作者提供了一个完整的设置列表，以完全禁用这些选项，并在 GitHub 上分享了自动化脚本来管理跨配置文件的设置。考虑到 Firefox 已经很小的市场份额（截至 2025 年 9 月为 2.17%），这种强制集成可能会导致进一步的用户流失，并可能促使非技术用户转向 Chrome（71.77%）或 Safari（13.9%）等替代浏览器。已经存在移除这些功能的 Firefox 分支版本。

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.

There have been reports of high cpu & ram usage with firefox local ai features.

Mozilla also had some trouble with their wording in their ToS relating to user data which seems to tie in to these ai features being pushed.

Disable LLM

It doesn't seem there are many options relating to disabling ai features in the gui of firefox, they instead hide it behind config variables.

Note

I had browser.ml.enable & browser.ml.chat.enable set to false but still had a option in the context menu saying 'ask an ai chatbot (z)'.

This lead to me adding even more preferences into prefs.js on my profile scripts.

Here is a listing of options to disable llm & ai related features in firefox.

user_pref("browser.ml.enable", false);
user_pref("browser.ml.chat.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.ml.chat.hideFromLabs", true);
user_pref("browser.ml.chat.hideLabsShortcuts", true);
user_pref("browser.ml.chat.page", false);
user_pref("browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge", false);
user_pref("browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge", false);
user_pref("browser.ml.chat.menu", false);
user_pref("browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.ml.pageAssist.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled", false);
user_pref("browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnable", false);
user_pref("extensions.ml.enabled", false);
