====================================================================

As many of you already know, Mozilla decided some time ago to put
"AI fatures" into FireFox. People like me who are not happy with this
has to do some tweaks to the browser configuration in order to get
rid of such "features".

In the address bar, the place where you type URLs and search terms,
type the following: 'about:config'[1] in order to access the browser
advanced config. You'll see a message with a button with the following
text: 'Accept the Risk and Continue'. Click on this button and in the
following screen you'll see a preferences search box. Use this box
for searching the following options and set all of them to 'false':

- browser.ml.enable
- browser.ml.chat.enabled
- extensions.ml.enabled
- browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled
- browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled
- browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled

This post will be updated when changes arise. If you know of
any other option that has to be set, let me know in order to
keep this post useful for everyone.
