"Starting on February 24 with the Firefox 148 update, users will be able to toggle AI off in a new AI controls area in the desktop browser's settings menu. To disable AI, you won't even need to dig around and disable features one by one: Mozilla describes the forthcoming option as a "single place to block current and future generative AI features" across Firefox."
"If you'd like to customize Firefox's AI offerings, the browser will also allow you to check and enable individual features. The options on the way later this month will allow Firefox users to toggle AI on or off for translation tools, alt text descriptions in PDFs, tab groups, link preview summaries, and for a sidebar feature that incorporates chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini."
Firefox will introduce a centralized AI controls area in desktop settings starting February 24 with the Firefox 148 update. The new control will let users toggle AI off entirely from one place, blocking current and future generative AI features without disabling items individually. Users can also enable or disable specific AI features, including translation tools, PDF alt text, tab groups, link preview summaries, and a chatbot-integrated sidebar that supports ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Mozilla intends to keep AI tools opt-in and will continue developing AI features for users who choose to use them. Mozilla previously rolled out AI chatbots in Firefox 135 and tested an iOS "shake to summarize" feature.
