When the AI chatbot is enabled in the sidebar but "collapsed" -- the tool not engaged -- is any data sent to the chatbot provider? Can the chatbot be collecting data while not engaging with the user? Or is context sent only with prompts and limited to the tab that is open?

What sort of sandboxing is enforced by Firefox?

Hi,

Chatbots in the Firefox Sidebar function as regular websites of the corresponding providers. They only have access to the prompts you send. Just like for any other websites, you can grant additional permissions to them, but you can revoke these permissions at any time in Settings.

When you use the "Ask chatbot" options from the context menu, all the necessary context is passed via a generated prompt.
