Super frustrating the AI Chatbots are infecting my Firefox browser now. It looks like malware and pretty much acts like it since it cannot be disabled from the sidebar outside of closing this window. I like vertical tabs, but they require so many other options by default. Even more frustrating that the URL goes to a chrome browser link: chrome://browser/content/genai/chat.html

Alarms very heightened.

    I am not clicking on it to find out so I’ll take your word for it. None of it is accessible in their settings page and about: URLs would suffice to not trigger alarm bells.

    chrome://browser/content/genai/chat.html

      You can verify it for yourself. It is a folder inside of your Firefox Profile. It will contain a file called userChrome.css if you made changes to the UI. You don’t need to click on that address to see it. You can look in your Profile folder to see what’s there. FF chrome folder
