Firefox 155 retest: AI 'kill switch' still leaves telemetry and ad tracking active
A follow-up Wireshark analysis of Firefox 155 confirms an earlier finding: toggling off Mozilla's AI kill switch disables generative AI features but does nothing to stop background telemetry or advertising data collection. The retest comes six months after Mozilla's CEO publicly called the AI switch one of the browser's most important features, even as onboarding flows never mention what the control actually covers.
