Why would you jump to this assumption?
Mozilla points to the forums when they blamed users for wanting the inclusion.
I don't know why you would assume things that are the polar opposite of what Mozilla says.
What assumption? From the page you linked this is all that's said about the decision to add the Perplexity search addition:
How does this indicate that the "positive feedback" was from the forums? That seems like an assumption you're making here.
You quoted a paragraph that links here.
I would encourage you to actually read the things you quote!
That's a forum post where Mozilla is announcing their decision. And that links to an issues list where a request for Perplexity was posted. None of that suggests it was due to "positive feedback from the forums."
Regardless, whether the forums "support" it or not, I've pointed out how social media is a bubble and you can't draw reliable conclusions from how the comment votes or the amount of flames measure up.
You are downright lying about the content of that post.
They are soliciting input.
And the input is in that thread is far more negative than positive.
