Does Mozilla really want me to stop using their shit?
Classic, Private, or Smart? Choose the right Firefox window for every task:
Smart Window: Firefox’s privacy-first, AI-powered browsing experience to help get stuff done
Smart Window is Firefox’s newest window type, currently rolling out in Beta to users in the U.S., Canada, and France. Think of it as a Classic Firefox window with a built-in AI assistant layered on top – one that you can choose to have utilize your open tabs, recent browsing, and the page in front of you, so it can help you do more without switching contexts – all with the privacy and security you expect from Firefox.
What makes it Smart:
- A built-in assistant that can summarize pages, generate recommendations, compare information, and plan tasks using your open tabs.
- The ability to retrieve current web information and display the sources behind its response without taking you to a separate search results page, supported by Firefox’s new partnership with Exa.
- Suggested groups for related tabs.
- Visual previews of pages from your browsing history, so you can surface the page you’re looking for more easily among similar results without opening each one.
- The choice of three AI models to power the assistant, as well as the option to bring your own model.
- Optional “memories,” built from either your Smart Window chats or your browsing activity in both Smart and Classic windows, or both. Memories help the assistant give you more helpful, personalized answers over time. They are stored locally on your device and can be deleted at any time.
When to use it:
Smart Window shines when you need a little extra help finishing what you started. Its ability to work with the context you choose to share can help you make progress on ongoing tasks that may require more than one session, like trip or event planning, comparison price shopping, or conducting research for work or personal reasons.
And with Smart Window’s optional memories, which learn your patterns and preferences over time (with your permission), Smart Window gets more useful the more you use it, keeping you from having to spell everything out from scratch each time.
All this makes it shit, not smart. Use this mode when you feel you’re retarded or senile.
