Firefox settings screen: "AI Controls You always have a choice in Firefox, including whether to use features enhanced with AI. More controls coming soon. Learn more Block AI enhancements Blocking means you won’t see new or current AI enhancements in Firefox, or pop-ups about them.

They've commented on this. The time spent on this did not "take away from time spent on other things". The features were worked on by a few people who wanted to build those features. From a Mozilla employee in a hacker news thread.

    So Mozilla did not pay the people that worked on, tested, and approved these features?

    I actually couldnt find any public info to back up my comment so maybe a HN comment wasnt enough to go off. But Idk if announcing they partnered with OpenAI to integrate it would even improve things given their current actions.
