A few minutes after installing, Firefox presented me with this… Ironically, while I was in the settings to turn off sponsored advertisements.

A continuation of this post, which was about nag screens that encourage you to use features (AI in that case).

    Agreed. I probably wouldn’t have known it was there without that pop-up, and it was easy enough to dismiss as I’m not interested right now.

      It already has a toolbar icon, and that icon gets a blue notification dot that distinguishes it from the dull gray text/icons, on every new install or profile

      (Every Firefox profile tends to have a bunch of onboarding prompts with some kind of timer attached, but I don’t know how to disable them without digging into advanced configuration)

        The toolbar icon is a bit annoying, but it’s still only Right click > Remove from toolbar to get rid of it if you’re not already familiar with customising the toolbar
