Tired of constantly switching tabs and copy-pasting content to your favorite AI provider? Us too. That’s why, after an initial soft launch, we’re gradually rolling out the AI Chatbot access to everyone. You can find it in Settings > Firefox Labs or right from the sidebar. To begin chatting, you will have to select a provider (e.g. ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.), follow the necessary login instructions, and agree to the selected provider’s terms to start using the chatbot. Firefox does not store your conversation with the 3rd party chatbot (just like if you were using a chatbot on another tab).
Alternatively, if you prefer not to see the entry point, simply deselect the AI Chatbot option in Firefox Labs. For more information, please check out the Support article. Our goal is to bring a range of easy-to-use AI chatbots to users who want to try them. We are also exploring ways for users to bring their own large language models to have an on-device chatbot.
What I love most about having the chatbot in Firefox is the side-by-side interface that cuts down on constant tab switching—it’s all right there when and where I need it in one easy view.
Here are a few of my personal “productivity recipes”:
- Summarize long email threads: I selected the text from a long email thread and asked the chatbot to summarize it for a concise overview. I was able to read it faster and “do more with less” on limited screen space.
- Polish messages: When writing, I usually start with free flow, focusing on ideas without worrying about grammar, structure, or length. Then, I use my chatbot to refine and polish the draft, making it concise, well-structured, and tailored to a specific tone like professional or friendly. This saves time, ensures high-quality results, and allows for seamless back-and-forth editing side-by-side.
- Brainstorm new ideas: While planning my first RV trip, I chatted with my chatbot to get quick tips, suggestions, itineraries, and make modifications - all while I was browsing web pages about RV parks. I love that I can chat without switching tabs or windows, helping me stay focused and maintain context without distractions.
Question to you: If you are an AI chatbot user, what are the recipes and use cases that supercharge your day? What are some concerns to watch out for? I’d love to hear all about your creative hacks, tweaks, and feedback. While we cannot tackle everything overnight, your constructive feedback is what helps us continue to make Firefox the best browser and your preferred window to the internet.
Happy browsing,
