So I asked each model where it (thinks) it is hosted/running.

[...]

Can we trust those responses, or is it more mirage with plausible-sounding responses?

Whoever wrote this doesn't know how AI works. They don't know where they're hosted. He could have asked Mozilla instead of panic-posting.

Mozilla says this was a flub; it will refine the onboarding around Smart Window to limit memory formation to post-opt-in activity only. That’s obviously the right fix.

So, false alarm. Try beta software, get software bugs.
