""It's a new, intelligent and user-controlled space we're building in Firefox that lets you chat with an AI assistant and get help while you browse, all on your terms," explained Varma. "Completely opt-in, you have full control, and if you try it and find it's not for you, you can choose to switch it off.""
""Once again Mozilla is SPRINTING to chase after the stupidest tech brained trends and not actually focused on improving the product at all,""
""The only AI related thing I want is a single, prominent, easily accessible switch to turn off absolutely all opt-out AI features. No chasing about:config entries.""
Mozilla plans an opt-in AI Window that will add a third browsing mode alongside the standard window and Private Window. The AI Window will let users chat with an AI assistant and receive browsing help, and Mozilla describes it as fully opt-in with user control and the ability to switch it off. The project is currently a placeholder to be developed in the open, yet user objections appeared immediately. Community responses demand a single, prominent global switch to disable all AI features and express strong resistance to adding agentic AI to Firefox.
