For those of us that do want to use AI for work performance enhancement purposes, I have a question and also a comment for the Development Team. Here is the scenario real quick. I use Mozilla Firefox as my trusted browser today and that means that I open other AI systems such as ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, etc. within this browser and could at times be running multiple browser sessions at the same time. My question is, will the Mozilla new AI Features attempt to try and compete with my other chat sessions for data capture, response and participation if I keep portions or the whole system enabled? The last thing I need is Mozilla AI as the selected browser now interfering with my other work flow processes in anyway including just listening along which would significantly increase the amount of resources used to run the Mozilla AI in parallel with other AI systems on my computer. I have heavy work loads at times and am already experiencing browser delays in processing data (even when setting up separate project chats for specific tasks) because of too many added features within all of the AI systems like historical chat session quick links on the right side of the screen. That's a ton of data that ends up getting stored/cached, referenced and processed with each command executed. I don't mind using Mozilla AI within the browser for general personal surfing and Q&A purposes but I can see this potentially becoming a big issue for us creators working with large image data processing tasks in other AI systems via the Mozilla browser. I will unfortunately be turning all of these Mozilla AI features off to start because I am not sure there really is a clear separation path for resource allocations within the browser now keeping my experience fast and efficient. Most likely this will force me into using a different browser product for personal vs business until things are much clearer. Hoping to learn a little bit here and see that things like this are being taken into consideration, even if it is a product roadmap enhancement for release sometime in the near future. Thanks so much!

Hi,

If you are talking about AI features in Firefox, none of them are using your on-device data. To break down:

  • AI Chatbot in Firefox Sidebar. This feature allows access to AI chatbot from the sidebar. It functions as a regular website of the selected provider, meaning that it can only access the data from your prompts (also, Firefox can generate a prompt for you if you click Summarize page, but in that case, again, all the data will be in the prompt itself).
  • AI-Powered Link Previews. AI is used here to enhance link previews with extra information. No info except for the selected link content is used.
  • Firefox Translations. In this feature, AI is used to translate webpages in real-time. Translation will not be performed unless you click the Translate button. Only the translated webpage content is used.
  • Smart Tab Groups. This uses AI to automatically group similar tabs. As far as I understand, the only data used are your tab names.
  • Alt Text Generation for PDFs. This feature uses AI to generate alt text for images in PDFs. I don't think anything except for the images themselves is used.
  • Perplexity Search Integration. Perplexity is being offered as an optional built-in search engine. It can only get data from your prompts when you use it.

Please note that all the features mentioned above, except for the AI Chatbot and Perplexity, are powered by on-device AI models, which are stored and run locally on your device. This approach helps preserve your privacy, as your data used by the models never leaves your device. Learn more about on-device AI models and how to manage them in this article.

Hope that answers your question. Please feel free to post any follow-ups.
