Hi Mekkel Skywalker,

Since it works when you're not signed in, this is most likely a Google account or cached data issue rather than a Firefox problem. A few things to try:

1. Check your Google Search settings

Go to google.com, open Settings > Search settings, and look for an AI Overview or Search Labs option. Make sure it's turned on for your account.

2. Clear your Google cookies and cache

Old cached data can cause this. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Clear Data, select Cookies and Cache, and try searching again.

3. Test with extensions disabled

Click the menu button, then Help > Troubleshoot Mode and restart. If AI overviews show up there, one of your extensions is likely blocking them in your normal window.

Let us know what you find!

I also don't have the AI tab or summary card when I access with older cookies/session, but get it with private tab or fresh profile — so it's something they decide to set on the session, maybe as an experiment? That's just a guess unless someone knows the causality of e.g. query params used and then influencing the rest of the session or similar…
