   Seeing lots of discussion around Firefox marketshare, would be interested to hear what features / functionality people thought Firefox could implement that would make a big impact?

     @jgoerzen @mike @dale This is the tricky thing about these AI arguments: AI is a significantly broader & older field then the recent "generative AI" hype every sizeable tech company are rushing to adopt. Too often when those of us sick of this speak up, this confusion over a technically-fuzzy distinction frequently rears its head.

     Maybe put it this way: Please Mozilla no chatbots! No insisting there's demand!

     But yes: Features matter, not the tech behind them. Too many techies forget this!

     @mike @dale I love Firefox Translate and welcome other local and private AI features if they're useful.

     @dale Number one: fix the bug that means after a week or two it suddently starts using a ton of CPU and has to be shut down. It is BY FAR my biggest problem with Firefox.

     Number two: stop talking about integrating "AI" features. NO-ONE WANTS THIS.
