Mozilla announces new AI capabilities for Firefox's Smart Window feature

Mozilla announced new tab grouping and search capabilities for Firefox's AI-powered Smart Window feature.

Mozilla has released new updates for the artificial intelligence-supported Smart Window feature, which it developed to improve the browser experience and is currently in beta phase. Taking user feedback into account, the company introduced new tools that make it easier to organize information without interrupting the workflow within the browser.

Smart Window works as a separate window that allows users to interact with an AI assistant of their choice while navigating in the browser. This feature allows you to perform operations such as comparing tabs, organizing information and summarizing without leaving the browser.

New features and Exa collaboration

With the new update of Firefox, Smart Window gained the ability to automatically group related tabs. This feature helps prevent tabs from getting cluttered, especially during intensive research or planning stages.

Users can now close multiple tabs on the same page with a single click, thanks to automatic duplicate tab detection. Mozilla also announced a new partnership with AI-focused search company Exa. Thanks to this integration, Smart Window can directly fetch up-to-date web information and show the sources of the answers without redirecting the user to a separate search page.

Smart Window, which also has improved natural language processing capabilities, makes it easier for users to find pages they have viewed in the past. For example, when searching for phrases like “running shows I watched last week,” the system provides visual previews of relevant pages, allowing users to quickly find the right tab.

Future plans and accessibility

Mozilla continues to work on new functions to be added to Smart Window in the future. Features that will be added soon include the ability to surface past browsing sessions and continue working by bringing together relevant tabs.

The company is also working on a form filling assistant to prevent users from repeatedly entering the same information when filling out online forms. Users continue to have full control over which tabs Smart Window can access.

The Smart Window feature is currently only available in English and in beta for Firefox users in the United States and Canada. Do you think such browser-based artificial intelligence tools will change your internet browsing habits?
