Mozilla is developing a built‑in AI assistant for Firefox that will be offered as a third browsing mode alongside Normal and Private tabs. They’re calling it “Window AI.” Details are still scarce.

“It’s safe to say that the people who volunteered to “shape” the initiative want it dead and buried. Of the 52 responses at the time of writing, all rejected the idea and asked Mozilla to stop shoving AI features into Firefox.”

    I have yet to see Firefox “throw bench saws in my face”, as it were. It’s been adding options to various menus. There are plenty of features Firefox has added over the years that I don’t use, for example I don’t use container tabs, but I don’t think Firefox has “thrown them in my face”; they’re just an option sitting in the file menu that I never click on.

    A lot of people get offended by the mere existence of AI-driven tools, though, and interpret their existence as it being “thrown in their face.” This puts them at odds with folks like me who use them, or at least want to try them out, because the only way to satisfy them would inherently leave me unsatisfied.
