browser.ml.chat.enabled = false  
browser.ml.chat.shortcuts = false  
browser.ml.chat.shortcuts.custom = false  
browser.ml.chat.sidebar = false  
browser.ml.enable = false  
browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled = false

Gets rid of the browser AI, and also gets rid of FireFox spyware telemetry & ads, installs uBlock origin, and generally is the browser we all thought FireFox was supposed to be:

    Which are the relevant platform(s) and version here? I don't seem to have the .chat variables.

    Yeah it was a subtle joke about how people thought that the ML in lemmy.ml was "Marxist-Leninist". It was really because Mali had cheap (free?) domain names for a time. The political beliefs were just a happy coincidence.

    This is great! Now to figure out how to do this by policy. I've been banging my head into so many walls during the past 2 days, trying to figure out if Mozilla has an .admx that will allow me to turn this off for devices via CSP, or via custom OMA-URI.

    There used to be an admx, we're using it (to enable Firefox to use system cert store and the like). I hope it's updated quickly after new releases, but I never had an urgent need for that until now. Guess I'm also finding this out on Monday...
