The AI chatbot is back in my sidebar. I did not opt in to this. I would prefer not to roll back to whichever version of Firefox is before the AI it's-a-feature-not-a-bug got wedged in; what other options do I have for permanently disabling AI?

Going to sidebar settings to hide the AI chatbot does not suffice. Evidence: I did that already, it has been undone, and I cannot now find the toggle in question.

Personally I vote for yanking it out of the main browser altogether, so people have to actively choose to install the AI chatbot add-on. But my question is about actions I can take myself.

besides removing the AI chatbot shortcut from the sidebar there is also a way to remove it.

from bottom of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ai-chatbot

In the sidebar, choose the settings icon (a Gear icon). In the Customize sidebar panel, uncheck the AI chatbot box in the Firefox tools section.
