In no particular order
Kill off all AI in the browser. And don’t re-add it!
Do not use hidden extensions that can only be disabled in about:config
Make it possible to have tabs and a settable homepage in mobile Firefox
Make ALL telemetry and user tracking opt-in
Reinstate a fully customizable UI like in the past
Make it possible to locally load extensions (no, disabaling validation or temporary loading them for development reasons is not a solution)
Allow for app mode (see Chromium-based browser’s --app parameter)
- Make ALL telemetry and user tracking opt-in
  i get where you're coming from but NO telemetry would be terrible for fixing bugs and idiosyncrasies
  
  Not having telemetry was fine the last 30 years.
- i don't think AI should be killed completely since some people may use it, but it should at least be opt-in.
  everything else you suggested is good
- AI is the best way to offer local translations that don't send your private data off to someone else's server
  
  If the translations would be any good, yes.
- Kill off all AI in the browser. And don’t re-add it!
  This confuses me because all the other browsers have integrated AI, so removing it makes little sense. I do think it will eventually move to the OS though and that time can't come soon enough.
  
  Just make the AI bullshit opt in. I don't want AI, and I'm not alone on that.
  
  because all the other browsers have integrated AI
  This is one of the reasons I started using Firefox again.

  To quote mine and probably most peoples mothers 'If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you?'
You have so little respect for your community that you used an LLM to write this obsequious, patronising announcement instead of having a human employee write it. Does nobody there care anymore?
We desperately need a stable implementation of fission / true tab separation on android.
- It's actually pretty stable in Nightly
  
  That's great news! I guess i should switch to nightly
Remove the AI parts - and let people opt-in, for local LLMs if you think that is needed.
Revamp the settings, so they are clear, simple and all there.
Add a bookmark manager in the browser, that is simple, and can do the basic stuff like finding duplicates and test if the adresses is working and so forth.
Better security about addons...
- Would be cool to have more options to clean bookmarks indeed. I've got so manybover the years, it would take to long to manually check each one..
- Revamp the settings, so they are clear, simple and all there.
  I'm intrigued. Do you mind sharing your thoughts about this? What's the issue as it stands and how would you like to see things improved?
  
  Well, the "General" tab is very long. It could benefit from being split up. Fx the theme and looks should have its own tab. Same goes for Privacy and Security. Split them up. Though there is an overlap between the two, it would make it easier for most regular users to find their way. At the same time, they would learn a bit about what is about security, and what is about privacy.
