That\u2019s because we believe AI should be built like the internet \u2014&nbsp; open, accessible, and driven by choice \u2014 so that users and the developers helping to build it can use it as they wish, help shape it and truly benefit from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Firefox, you\u2019ll never be locked into one ecosystem or have AI forced into your browsing experience. You decide when, how or whether to use it at all. You\u2019ve already seen this approach in action through some of our latest features like the <a href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.org\/kb\/ai-chatbot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI chatbot in the sidebar<\/a> for desktop or <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/firefox\/shake-to-summarize\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shake to Summarize<\/a> on iOS.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we\u2019re excited to invite you to help shape the work on our next innovation: an AI Window. It\u2019s a new, intelligent and user-controlled space we\u2019re building in Firefox that lets you chat with an AI assistant and get help while you browse, all on your terms. Completely opt-in, you have full control, and if you try it and find it\u2019s not for you, you can choose to switch it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, we\u2019re building in the open \u2014 and we want to build this with you. Starting today, you can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.firefox.com\/ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sign up <\/a>to receive updates on our AI Window and be among the first to try it and give us feedback.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"ft-c-inline-cta\" href=\" https:\/\/www.firefox.com\/en-US\/ai\/\">\n  <div class=\"ft-c-inline-cta__media\">\n  <img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2025\/10\/Press_Firefox_Brand_800x800_2-800x800.png\" class=\"attachment-1x1 size-1x1\" alt=\"Firefox logo with orange fox wrapped around purple globe.\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2025\/10\/Press_Firefox_Brand_800x800_2.png 800w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2025\/10\/Press_Firefox_Brand_800x800_2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2025\/10\/Press_Firefox_Brand_800x800_2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/278\/files\/2025\/10\/Press_Firefox_Brand_800x800_2-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"ft-c-inline-cta__content\">\n     <h3>AI Window: Built for choice &#038; control<\/h3>      <span>Join the waitlist<\/span>   <\/div>\n<\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>We\u2019re building a better browser, not an agenda<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We see a lot of promise in AI browser features making your online experience smoother, more helpful, and free from the everyday disruptions that break your flow. But browsers made by AI companies ask you to make a hard choice \u2014 either use AI all the time or don\u2019t use it at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re focused on making the best browser, which means recognizing that everyone has different needs. For some, AI is part of everyday life. For others, it\u2019s useful only occasionally. And many are simply curious about what it can offer, but unsure where to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of your choice, with Firefox, you\u2019re in control.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can continue using Firefox as you always have for the most customizable experience, or switch from classic to <a href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.org\/kb\/private-browsing-use-firefox-without-history\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Private Window<\/a> for the most private browsing experience. And now, with AI Window, you have the option to opt in to our most intelligent and personalized experience yet \u2014 providing you with new ways to interact with the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why is investing in AI important for Firefox?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With AI becoming a more widely adopted interface to the web, the principles of transparency, accountability, and respect for user agency are critical to keeping it free, open, and accessible to all. As an independent browser, we are well positioned to uphold these principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While others are building AI experiences that keep you locked in a conversational loop, we see a different path \u2014 one where AI serves as a trusted companion, enhancing your browsing experience and guiding you outward to the broader web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe standing still while technology moves forward doesn\u2019t benefit the web or humanity. That\u2019s why we see it as our responsibility to shape how AI integrates into the web \u2014 in ways that protect and give people more choice, not less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Help us shape the future of the web&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our success has always been driven by our community of users and developers, and we\u2019ll continue to rely on you as we explore how AI can serve the web \u2014 without ever losing focus on our commitment to build what matters most to our users: a Firefox that remains fast, secure and private.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us by contributing to open-source projects and sharing your ideas on <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.mozilla.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mozilla Connect<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We recently shared how we are approaching AI in Firefox \u2014 with user choice and openness as our guiding principles.
