Starting in Firefox 138, Mozilla started gating Firefox Labs features behind data collection.

Mozilla had announced that some new Firefox features would be released via Firefox Labs.

It is now a few hours since I posted, and there is reason to celebrate – Mozilla is updating Firefox Labs to let people access features without needing to enable data collection.

Jesus christ the entire upper management needs to disappear. It's as if they're deliberately self-sabotaging Mozilla

    okay sorry sometimes my brain skips a few logical steps and expects people to make those. Ironfox has addons, right? And one of those is an adblocker? Is there a reason ublock (a popular adblocker) does not work? If not, how long does it take between updates of ironfox for ublock (or your adblocker of choice) to be properly functional again, as updates of main programs have a tendency to break mods/addons/whatever you want to call them?
