Mozilla shuts down even more Firefox services


Mozilla has announced the shutdown of several Firefox services as it shifts its focus and resources back to the core Firefox browser.

Neowin has spotted a shutdown notice dated June 26, 2025 for Deep Fake Detector, the Firefox extension that was supposed to tell you if a piece of text was written by a human or an AI chatbot. That tool used a combination of Mozilla's own proprietary ApolloDFT engine and open-source models like ZipPy to give you a verdict on what you were reading. Orbit's private, self-contained setup can be replaced with the new sidebar built directly into Firefox, letting you connect to third-party chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini.
