Hallo

Is someone able to create a Firefox Portable for Linux, if possible without AI-Functions!

Many of the apps we have here

Many of the apps we have here will run on Linux through Wine. We make sure our Launcher works with Wine, but we don't otherwise make any guarantees any specific app will work completely.

Firefox AI is not fully deactivatable - Wine don't emulate AI

Sure you can't do it in about

Sure you can't do it in about:config?

If you can that would work with our package, and you can find other posts here detailing where to put the file in the data folder.

But if it can't be fully disabled through about:config, you aren't going to find what you want here, sorry. We offer Windows programs, with some consideration and support for Linux and Mac. But we don't package apps specifically for those operating systems.

We also don't deal in modifications to the base apps, except when we absolutely need to for portability.

I think their AI implementation is optional.

As far as I know, Firefox doesn't have an AI by default, but it might ask you to choose your preferable one if you desire to use AI features as a sidebar app.

I don't use Vainilla Rapid Releases of Firefox that much, but just moved back to ESR which currently is at version 140.4.0, no AI at the moment & I don't really think ESR will ever get it, it may be weird.

May you know the say: "Don't trust computers you cannot throw through the window"? Here it is my contribution to it: "Don't comply with programs you cannot simply delete as if it was a File" - Anon.

Is Vainilla Firefox for enterprise? Mozilla even plans to integrate all AI features into the Linux version!

What Vainilla is...

Vainilla is a term used to refer to the original, ESR, Standard (Rapid-Release), Beta, Developer Edition, Nightly & Unbranded, all of these are Vainilla Firefox, just different channels for updates.

We say we use a Fork (not Vainilla) when we use Floorp, Mullvad, IceCat, Waterfox & Zen Browser, just to name a few.

ESR is usually used as "Enterprise" but there's no edition as such, some others may prefer Standard depending on the needs, thus "Firefox Enterprise" or so, that simply doesn't exist.
Standard or Rapid Release is just as the name implies, & it's directed for average end-users.
FYI Some forks use ESR, some others use Standard as the core of the fork.

Most of the time these forks get rid of forced features & instead are optional as I mentioned before, it was my experience with Waterfox, that the AI as a Sidebar App it's optional, you have to set it up too, meaning that by default it's disabled.
& of course some of these make some tweaks to improve the experience or have a specific purposes, such as Mullvad, IceCat & Tor.
