What the FUCK is this, firefox?

I had explicitly disabled this shit in firefox labs.

No, this is not an extension adding this (I checked), it seems this is now built-in to firefox.

Public

This has been enabled by default in firefox.
This was just enabled after updating to the latest firefox nightly version in the arch repos.

Public

from what I can tell, there is no way to disable this, aside from about:config. (no, "Hide chatbot shortcut" does not count. I want it nuked from orbit.)

nvm, that about:config setting does not remove it

alright, after some digging I've figured out how to remove it.

set the following options to false:

  • browser.ml.chat.enabled
  • browser.ml.chat.shortcuts
  • browser.ml.chat.shortcuts.custom
  • browser.ml.chat.sidebar
  • browser.ml.enable

(most likely only the first one is needed, but I'm setting them all to false anyways)
