Mozilla is bringing a new AI experience to Firefox, but with a clear focus on user choice. The company announced that it is working on an “AI Window,” a new feature designed to help users interact with an AI assistant while browsing.
Unlike some other browsers that push AI features on users, Firefox will make the experience completely optional. Users can choose when, how, or whether to use AI. The company has already introduced tools like the AI chatbot in the desktop sidebar and Shake to Summarize on iOS, showing its approach to flexible, user-first AI.
The new AI Window will let users get help from AI while they browse. It is opt-in, and Mozilla says users will have full control. If someone decides they do not want to use it, they can simply switch it off. Those interested can sign up to receive updates and be among the first to test the feature.
Mozilla emphasizes that its goal is to build a better browser, not push an agenda. The company recognizes that some users may rely on AI daily, while others may use it only occasionally or just be curious. Firefox aims to meet all these needs, while keeping the browsing experience fast, secure, and private.
The move also reflects Mozilla’s broader view on AI. The company wants to make sure AI on the web stays open, transparent, and user-driven. Unlike other platforms that may lock users into AI conversations, Firefox wants AI to act as a helpful companion that guides people outward to the wider web.
Mozilla invites its community of users and developers to help shape this new AI experience. With AI Window, the company aims to combine innovation with choice, giving users more control over how technology interacts with the web.
