      Maybe you got lucky and the routine which triggers said pop-ups didn’t happen yet, doesn’t mean that “that doesn’t happen”. Again: Firefox literally mentions pop-ups about “AI enhancement” features, it’s not something I’m confabulating:

      Block AI enhancements? You won’t see new or current AI enhancements in Firefox, or pop-ups about them.

      It’s ipsis literis from the Firefox opt-out confirmation dialog. They wouldn’t mention said pop-ups if they weren’t to happen.

          What?! Lying?! It’s literally in Firefox official git repo, for Goddess’ sake!!

          https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/blob/4bc9c2f9b62e7cb44894d581c8171edbf0f7e27f/browser/locales/en-US/browser/preferences/preferences.ftl#L2370C132-L2370C150

          (And, oh, as a double-twist, the following screenshot proves I do have Firefox, even though I use Waterfox as my daily driver; here I’m using Firefox because my GitHub account is logged in in there, and to dismantle your ad hominem that “I’m not even convinced you’ve used it [Firefox]” )

          But, you’re right, there’s no purpose in continuing this debate. Enjoy the new soon-to-be “Agentic Browser” Mozilla FAIrefox!

          Sceenshot of GitHub repo mozilla-firefox/firefox featuring part of the source for the file firefox/browser/locales/en-US/browser/preferences/preferences.ftl, with the LOC 2370 centered and the excerpt "or pop-ups about them" highlighted. As a bonus, it's being seen on a Firefox tab.
