Follow-up: Two weeks ago I asked about how Firefox' new AI chatbot integration fares regarding privacy.
By accident I found information on it in Mozilla's knowledge base [1] and a related article by them on privacy and chatbots [2].
Short answer: Mozilla does not read conversations, but some metadata is collected. Chatting with chatbots has the usual implications.
Some answers in the FAQ [1] I found particularly helpful, see screenshot.
