Firefox Is Rolling Out Three New Features for 'Smart Window'
* Mozilla is rolling out three new features for its AI "Smart Window" feature in Firefox.
* The company is rolling out new options, like the ability to browse web sources without leaving your window, and automatic tab grouping.
* Eventually, Mozilla wants Firefox to remember what you do in the browser.
If you like to be on the cutting edge, you might know about Firefox's "Smart Window" feature—formerly "AI Window." If not, here's an intro: Smart Window is Firefox's take on an AI web browsing assistant. You can use the chat feature to ask general questions (like you would with ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude) or send queries about the pages you're looking at. The feature lives in Firefox's menu bar: You can engage it whenever you want—with three models to choose from—and shut it off just the same.
Since Firefox's whole schtick is privacy-first, it emphasizes how none of your interactions with AI Window are used to train Mozilla's models, and your data is never sold to third parties—similar to DuckDuckGo's approach to AI. But Mozilla says that it changed Smart Window throughout its initial beta testing period. While the feature is still in beta, the company is now announcing more updates coming down the pike.
