Mozilla is making web browsing a little smarter and has introduced a new feature in Firefox called “AI Window,” designed to help users get more done online with the support of an AI assistant. As artificial intelligence becomes part of everyday tools, Mozilla is aiming to make browsing not just faster, but more helpful and intuitive.
The AI Window is an optional mode, separate from Firefox’s regular and private browsing. You can open it when you need extra help — whether it’s summarizing information, drafting an email, brainstorming ideas, or simply finding what you’re looking for online. And if you prefer, you can easily switch it off. The idea is to have AI as a friendly companion, not a dominating presence.
One of the standout aspects is choice. Mozilla lets users pick which AI model they want to interact with instead of being tied to a single provider. It’s all about keeping control in the hands of the user, something that has always been a core part of Firefox’s philosophy.
Right now, AI Window is in a testing phase, and those interested can sign up to try it. Mozilla is developing the feature in the open, giving users a say in how it evolves.
This move also puts Firefox in the growing AI browser market. OpenAI recently unveiled Atlas, a ChatGPT-powered browser, and Perplexity launched Comet, another AI-focused browser. But Mozilla hopes that its commitment to privacy and independence from the Chromium engine will set it apart.
For users, this could mean a browsing experience that is not only more intelligent but also more respectful of personal data. The AI Window reflects how Mozilla sees the future with tools that assist without taking over, that simplify life online while keeping the user in control.
