Overview
Mozilla is positioning Firefox’s AI rollout around user choice: a forthcoming settings section will centralize controls for generative AI features, including an option to disable them broadly rather than requiring users to hunt through individual feature toggles. The change is framed as a response to growing AI feature bundling in browsers, with Firefox adding a clearer “off” path alongside its expanding AI feature set.
