Thanks for flagging that! That checkbox shouldn’t be enabled by default, but have you gotten that summarisation even with it unchecked?
I usually let users re-enable stuff I enable by default, for user choice but sometimes that means some things slip through the cracks

Ah glad we found the issue, but concerning the old profiles aren’t working! Should’ve been a graceful “upgrade”. Do you know if there was any sensitive/personal data in the old not working profiles? Would be good to be able to reproduce the issue and see what was causing it!

It's Firefox ESR with all the telemetry and other objectionable junk turned off. And it works with a global menu bar, which Firefox doesn't any more.

Anyone looking for an alternative, I'd direct you to Waterfox Private Search! It's a meta-search that I built which is subscription based. That means no ads, no tracking and NO AI summaries taking away traffic from web creators: search.waterfox.net
