Firefox 148 — AI Controls

Firefox 148 introduces “AI Controls,” a settings panel that lets users enable or disable AI-enhanced features in the browser. The controls emphasize on-device (local) AI capabilities, giving users direct control and potential privacy benefits.

The build is available now — Mozilla asks users to try it and provide feedback.

Key points

  • AI features are optional by default.
  • A single main off-switch disables all AI features at once.
  • Users can selectively enable specific on-device AI features (cherry-pick).
  • Controls are reversible: any feature can be turned on or off at any time.
  • Features emphasized are on-device (local), implying greater user control and privacy.
  • Mozilla has released the build and requests user feedback.

Quick guide

  1. Open AI Controls in Firefox 148.
  2. Use the main off-switch to disable all AI features, or
  3. Enable individual on-device AI features as desired.
  4. Change selections anytime — settings are reversible.
