In no particular order

  • Kill off all AI in the browser. And don’t re-add it!
  • Do not use hidden extensions that can only be disabled in about:config
  • Make it possible to have tabs and a settable homepage in mobile Firefox
  • Make ALL telemetry and user tracking opt-in
  • Reinstate a fully customizable UI like in the past
  • Make it possible to locally load extensions (no, disabaling validation or temporary loading them for development reasons is not a solution)
  • Allow for app mode (see Chromium-based browser’s --app parameter)

AI is the best way to offer local translations that don't send your private data off to someone else's server

If the translations would be any good, yes.

If it's your personal data, I would definitely not send it to a server. A bad AI translation is still better than sending a page containing passwords over the network
