Firefox now includes a toggle that shuts off its AI functions.
Mozilla added the kill switch after community pressure. Only about 1% of users have turned it on, while another 3% disabled individual AI tools. The remaining 96% keep every AI feature active.
The low uptake matters because the switch proves Mozilla will respond to privacy concerns, even if few act on it. It also shows a gap between vocal demand and actual behavior, a pattern developers often see.
In short, the option exists, but users aren’t using it – a reminder that feature control rarely translates to widespread adoption.
