Starting with Firefox 148, which rolls out on Feb. 24, you’ll find a new AI controls section within the desktop browser settings. It provides a single place to block current and future generative AI features in Firefox.

They actually listened to the community, thats very nice.

Didn't people generally hate pocket's forced integration? Anyways I've never said that they've never removed features nor was disagreeing that what you said isn't generally true. It's just that the list posted has a lot of examples that aren't exactly a removal of a Firefox feature which hurts the argument being made. There's more than enough reasons as you mentions to make a case for it.

Like another user said, where's "open image in new tab"? (I notice you didn't reply to them.)

I don't see where's the relevance in pointing out that I didn't reply to another user's post when I'm in agreement with them.

Relax man, let's have a civil discussion that doesn't devolve into sarcasm.

Pocket was originally an extension before Mozilla forced integration and bloated it into something it wasn't. The "something it wasn't" part, Stories, is still Firefox bloatware but without the Pocket label.
