In a bold move to empower users and redefine the future of web browsing, Mozilla has announced the integration of AI chatbot services directly into the Firefox browser: users will now have access to AI chatbots directly within the sidebar.
Through an opt-in experiment launching this week in the Firefox Nightly channel, users will have the ability to access a range of AI assistants, including ChatGPT, Google Gemini, HuggingChat, and Le Chat Mistral, directly from the browser’s sidebar.
This innovative addition aims to provide an enhanced browsing experience, enabling users to quickly obtain answers, insights, and assistance on a wide range of topics without leaving the browser. Whether seeking information, getting task-oriented help, or exploring new ideas, the chatbots are designed to offer quick and efficient support.

To try out the chatbots, users need to navigate to the browser settings. Specifically, go to “Settings” > “Nightly Experiments” and switch on the “AI Chatbot Integration” option. Once enabled, users can select their preferred chatbot from the available options.
When browsing, users can highlight text and right-click to interact with the chatbot. The chatbot can perform various tasks, such as summarizing information, simplifying language, or even testing the user’s memory and knowledge of a specific excerpt.
Mozilla acknowledges that the chatbot models are still in development. Each chatbot has its own strengths and limitations. Users are encouraged to explore and determine which one best suits their needs.
Mozilla’s approach emphasizes user choice and privacy. Unlike some other platforms, the chatbots are not imposed on users. Mozilla plans to refine the chatbot experience further before rolling it out to beta and release builds.
As the AI chatbot landscape continues to evolve, Mozilla’s decision to bring AI technology directly into the Firefox browser underscores the company’s commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation, providing its users with cutting-edge tools to navigate the digital world.
