At Mozilla, we work hard to make Firefox the best browser for you. That’s why we're always focused on building a browser that empowers you to choose your own path, that gives you the freedom to explore without worry or compromises. We’re excited to share more about the updates and improvements we have in store for you over the next year.
Bringing You the Features You’ve Been Asking For
We've been listening to your feedback, and we're prioritizing the features you want most.
Productivity boosters like Tab Grouping, Vertical Tabs, and our handy Sidebar will help you stay organized no matter how many tabs you have open -- whether it’s 7 or 7,500.
Plus, our new Profile Management system will help keep your school, work, and personal browsing separate but easily accessible. Customizable new tab wallpapers that will let you choose from a diverse range of photography, colors, and abstract images that suits you most. Intuitive privacy settings that deliver all the power of our world-class anti-tracking technologies in a simplified, easy-to-understand way. More streamlined menus that reduce visual clutter and prioritize top user actions so you can get to the important things quicker.
We are approaching the use of AI in Firefox -- which many, many of you have been asking about -- in the same way. We’re focused on giving you AI features that solve tangible problems, respect your privacy, and give you real choice.
We’re looking at how we can use local, on-device AI models -- i.e., more private -- to enhance your browsing experience further. One feature we’re starting with next quarter is AI-generated alt-text for images inserted into PDFs, which makes it more accessible to visually impaired users and people with learning disabilities. The alt text is then processed on your device and saved locally instead of cloud services, ensuring that enhancements like these are done with your privacy in mind.
Fuck, I'm sick of this AI shit already. It's a non-solution to a non-problem. Ridiculous proof of concept, machine learning crap that basically spits out what it's been fed.
It's like, they are sitting there saying "we've got to put AI in our browser so we can use those buzzwords!". With the exception of that silly Accessibility usage case (with pretty slim justification for using "AI" to do that) they really haven't got clue how or why they want to put AI in their browser. Because Microsoft is doing it.
