Huh, maybe I need to wait for firefox to update or for me to restart the computer if they just did it. I'm also running an older version of windows I think, I don't even know which one actually but they tried to upgrade me for free and I told them no a couple of years back.
I think they just did it. Menu > Help > About will tell you if you're on 148 and probably help you update if you want.
I was also presented with a giant "you can opt out of AI" tab after I updated.
