What information is shared with sidebar chat AI provider?
The page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ai-chatbot lacks the list of data shared with the chatbot AI providers. It would be nice to know how it is done, how to review the data, and how pages can provide better data.

When you open the chatbot in the sidebar, the provider collects the same information as it would if you had visited the chatbot in a regular Firefox tab. If you select text on a webpage or PDF and choose to use one of the suggested prompts, we send your text selection, prompt and page title to the provider.

Hello,
To find out what data is collected and how it is handled, please review your provider's privacy policy (the links are in the article).

AI provider is a 3rd party website. Their privacy policy is hard to read and only relates to the information they receive. Does your answer imply that Firefox sends complete web page with all content and cookies to the provider? Does it send anything extra?

When I open chatbots in regular Firefox, like https://lmarena.ai, nothing is shared. I had to manually enter text and paste it from the clipboard, PDFs I have to upload. Selection, title and content of other tabs is not reachable for this chatbot-in-a-tab.
So opening AI tab makes provider receive a web request as if I opened its page in a regular tab. If I enter some text in the AI tab prompt, the Firefox sends the text along with current tab title (which is not AI tab). Is the anything else being sent as a part of the context?
So, no selection: - input text - active page title
With selection: - input text - text under selection - active page title
Is that right?
No. When nothing is selected, there's no need to send active tab title. Tab title is being sent only when you use any of the context menu items like "Summarize" or "Proofread" on selection.

Thanks. It would be nice to have it explicitly documented. And also to be able to preview the information being sent. So that web pages can propose more context to be more AI friendly, and more useful to user.
