Surely that’s Firefox BS, not something added by the Librewolf devs?

New 130.0-3 update, it's brand new. Make sure you update to the latest version (or don't)

Definitely some Firefox crap, I doubt the Librewolf devs would want this in there

This must be new with one of the latest updates.

no, its part of the 100% optional experimental features section of Firefox (now called Labs). Its always been there (since its existed in Firefox Nightly for years), you just had to enable the menu panel option with a configuration setting, but now it (the menu panel) is shown by default. It should be noted, with very few exceptions, none of the items in this menu were ever enabled by default, unless they were to test turning off features for suneset reasons or spec changes (i.e., SameSite cookie permission attributes).

I never saw it before until I updated to version 130.0-3 yesterday.

For me nothing was enabled by default, thank goodness.

Yeah nothing is enabled for me, I just don't like seeing it lol It only appeared once I updated to version 130.0-3 yesterday

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yes, but it's specially in the new update for Librewolf

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There is probably a disable flag available for this, because so far, I've not seen this in v129.

It's in version 130.0-3, brand new

I think it’s fine, that it is there. That is the least intrusive implementation of AI I have seen so fare in a Browser.
