No shit, Sherlock. AI (no one asked for) eats CPU!!1

here's a few settings you may wish to consider for your firefox's about:config page.

browser.ml.chat.enabled = false
browser.ml.chat.shortcuts = false
browser.ml.chat.shortcuts.custom = false
browser.ml.chat.sidebar = false
browser.ml.enable = false
extensions.ml.enabled = false

if your firefox is recent enough, you might want these to disable AI tab
groups too

browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled = false
browser.tabs.groups.smart.optin = false
browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled = false

ciao...

In short, just disable everything ".chat"!

browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled = false
browser.tabs.groups.smart.optin = false
browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled = false

Their defaults in my Firefox 141.0.1 were all false!

According to this page

<https://www.askvg.com/how-to-disable-and-remove-all-ai-features-in-mozilla-firefox/>

it's enough to set this value to false:

browser.ml.chat.enabled
