I have the "kill switch" enabled, but I have a 57mb model on my disk that I surely didn't ask for.
The model page on Hugging Face is: https://huggingface.co/Mozilla/static-embeddings which doesn't tell me anything about its purpose in Firefox.

You were foolish to trust Mozilla after their new CEO made it clear their mission is to make Firefox an "AI first" browser.

@tizziari @librewolf @Waterfox I have them both installed but I was investigating an issue in core Firefox - I still expect the supposed kill switch to work as expected.

@yoasif hm, I wonder if it's an old unused model that wasn't caught by the new AI controls. have you filed a bug? also take a look at about:inference for more details (and to delete manually)

Not really sure what I am seeing over at about:inference.

You could try the pre-"kill"-switch method of going into about:config and turning everything listed here off:
