I really like those local AI features. It's tempting me yo move to vanilla Firefox over LibreWolf...

I'm still ambivalent on the rest of the AI features, but the AI translation is absolutely amazing. The translation quality isn't perfect, but being able to seamlessly translate 20+ languages 100% locally is amazing.

Yes - agree. It's a lovely feature.

> Link Previews show a snapshot of a page before you open it, helping you decide what’s worth your time. Just long press any link to preview and reduce distractions.

On macOS there is a native affordance for this by using force click. It's kind of annoying that Firefox chose to not support this and instead made it click-and-hold only.

It's a three finger touch for me.

That link preview bothers me a bit from a privacy standpoint. Hovering over a link will now hit that website. Hmm.

The post (and this clarification [0]) state that you have to either long click or select "Preview Link" from the context menu.
