I'm waiting for the day we get microwaves with an AI that turns them off once the timer reaches zero.
Actually it already exists. My microwave have a button labeled “AI” which suppose to run the microwave until it determines the food is ready.

This is wasting the time of accessibility engineers who are doing very important work. Please don't.
Clearly they aren't doing any/good work, if they allow popups to cover content. It's literally their job to prevent stuff like this. Mozilla needs to bring in the Bobs from Office Space: "What is it you say you do here?"

Hum... Pretty much so. Unless it's a real emergency or the contents don't make sense until you do something, every modal window is an accessibility problem.
Even if it is a "real emergency," modal dialogs still don't make sense because people are so annoyed by them, they don't read them . If you really, really want the user to read something, don't put it in a modal that pops up over the thing they actually want to do. They're pretty much horrible UX for any conceivable use case.
On the opposite side, I'm also unreasonable frustrated when those modals appear and I cannot close it by clicking outside of it.
End results? Modals are horrible in most situations, especially when you want people to actually ingest some information.
I file a ticket with Firefox whenever an unwanted dialog pops up covering content. If you tag these as being accessibility related they get bounced back and forth between a few people before getting closed and thus pour just a little bit of sand in the gears.
But it used to be that browser dialogues would start from the chrome, thus being impossible for webpages to mimic.

Why would you brag about that? Honestly, to what end? If your goal is to put sand in the gears what difference is there between this and trolling, spamming or just good ol' fashioned DOS?
I didn't read malice into the post, just using a tongue-in-cheek tone. My reading was "letting them know doing bad choices will not quitely be accepted". But I may ofcourse read something into it that wasn't meant.
Good! I do not want nor need AI in every single aspect of my life. I mean, I've seen AI hygiene products out there. How does that even work? Don't answer that ... I know it's a marketing scheme, akin to the "HD" craze of five to 10 years ago.

As a long-time firefox user (since the very earliest days of phoenix), I have to say: focus on open standards and delivering a faster and more secure browser. Make runtimes like electron out of your engine. DO shit that matters. Forget pocket, AI, and all that other junk. That is not your mission!

We have had this function for dozens of years in Japan already
