Mozilla Announces Opt-In 'AI Window' for Firefox With User-Selectable Models

The unlaunched mode is being built in the open with a waitlist, reflecting Mozilla's push to address user demands for simple global opt-outs.

Overview

  • AI Window is presented as a dedicated browsing space that adds an assistant and chatbot to help while you browse, activated only if users opt in.
  • The mode will appear alongside Classic and Private windows and will allow users to choose which AI model powers their experience.
  • Mozilla says the feature is not yet available, with development happening publicly and a waitlist open for interested users.
  • Early reactions on Mozilla Connect and support forums include sharp criticism and requests for a single, prominent control to disable AI features.
  • Mozilla leaders say more settings are coming to give users control, positioning the effort as a privacy- and choice-focused alternative after mixed results from earlier AI experiments.
