## Resource

AI is everywhere - including Firefox. But, unlike most services, Mozilla allows you to turn it off completely. In this interview, Henry sits down with Adam Fishman, Mozilla's VP of Product, to cover the philosophy behind Firefox's AI features, how Smart Window works, the controls that let you turn everything off, the importance of "having a seat at the table", and the surprising story of how Anthropic's Claude found several security vulnerabilities in Firefox. 🔗 SOURCES & LINKS • Firefox: https://www.firefox.com • Mozilla AI: https://www.mozilla.ai • Mozilla Common Voice: https://commonvoice.mozilla.org ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS (00:00) - INTRO (01:30) - EXPLAINING THE ROLE (04:03) - ADAM'S BACKGROUND (06:05) - SUNSETTING POCKET (10:12) - PHILOSOPHY ON AI (14:58) - AI FEATURES VS.
