I do not want the dev tools and neither the Extension framework, can I get rid of those? No? Being able to completely disable the features is not enough how? How does the code laying bare on your harddisk get in your way of using FX? They already promised a kill-switch. And you saying it turned on after an update is but an anecdote.

    I feel like you're just here to piss into the wind.

    Do you hear people screaming to disable the extension frame work or devtools?

    No?

    If you don't want those features you can compile your own version of Firefox and remove them.

    But lots of people are anti-AI. And there are people willing to provide a browser that keeps it out.

    If you want it, have at it. But don't piss on people just because they don't.
