New AI Features for Firefox Smart Window
Mozilla has introduced two new AI-powered features to its Firefox Smart Window browsing experience: AI-powered form filling and website monitoring. These additions expand the capabilities of Smart Window, which was previously known as AI Window and has gradually gained new functionalities since its initial announcement.
The new features are currently rolling out in beta to desktop users located in the United States and Canada. Mozilla plans for broader availability in the future.
AI-Powered Form Filling
The AI-powered form-filling feature allows Firefox to suggest answers for online forms by drawing context from other open tabs. Unlike traditional autofill, which typically handles basic information like names and addresses, this feature can pull more complex data, such as work history from an online portfolio or LinkedIn page, to complete job applications.
Users can activate this feature by clicking into a form with at least four text fields, where an option to "Fill from sources" will appear. This allows users to select or deselect specific tabs from which Firefox will gather information. The data from source pages is shared with Google’s Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite, the AI model responsible for generating the text suggestions. Currently, it supports text fields, with future plans to add support for dropdown menus and PDFs.
Webpage Monitoring Capabilities
Alongside form filling, Smart Window also gains a webpage monitoring feature. This functionality is designed to alert users to updates or changes on specified webpages. Examples provided include monitoring for sales announcements or new job listings, providing users with timely notifications about content they are tracking.
Evolution of Smart Window
Mozilla initially announced plans for an "AI Window" nearly a year ago, envisioning an opt-in experience with an AI assistant for tasks like content summarization, cross-tab comparisons, and in-browser question answering. Renamed Smart Window, it has since incorporated features such as AI-powered web search, automatic tab grouping, duplicate tab detection, and natural language browsing history search. The latest additions further enhance its AI-driven browsing capabilities.
