So why did they feel the need to make this explicit for Firefox now?

Why was the previous state of affairs not sufficient? Hasn’t Firefox been letting me type data into a form for nearly 20 years now, _without_ this language?

Wait a minute... Did Mozilla sign an agreement with some AI model company like OpenAI or Anthropic to "help" their hapless users (for revenue like they did with Google and search)?

If so, Tsst. Bad Mozzila! No!

Seriously though, that would be a huge mistake for a supposedly free software company. Especially when people are realizing the "meh" of the value added with most applications of LLMs.

HashiCorp rug pull level mistake.
