""It provides a single place to block current and future generative AI features in Firefox," Ajit Varma, head of Firefox, said. "You can also review and manage individual AI features if you choose to use them. This lets you use Firefox without AI while we continue to build AI features for those who want them.""
""If you don't want to use AI features from Firefox at all, you can turn on the Block AI enhancements toggle," Varma said. "When it's toggled on, you won't see pop-ups or reminders to use existing or upcoming AI features.""
""Privacy, data use, and AI must be clear and understandable,""
Mozilla added a controls section in Firefox desktop settings that lets users completely disable generative AI features or manage them individually. The control provides a single toggle to block current and future AI enhancements and per-feature options for translations, PDF alt text accessibility, AI-enhanced tab grouping, link previews, and a sidebar chatbot using major models. The capability is scheduled to roll out with Firefox 148 on February 24, 2026. User choice and opt-in integration are emphasized, and leadership prioritizes trusted software, user agency, and clear privacy and data-use practices for AI.
