Mozilla is rolling out new AI settings with Firefox 148 on February 24. Users will be able to manage all the browser's generative AI features from a single location, or turn them off entirely, the company announced in a blog post.

The new settings cover translations, automatic image descriptions in PDFs, AI-powered tab grouping, link previews, and a chatbot in the sidebar. The chatbot supports services like Anthropic Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, and Le Chat Mistral.

For users who want nothing to do with AI features, a single toggle blocks all AI extensions. Once enabled, no pop-ups or notifications about current or future AI features will appear. The settings persist through updates. Users who want to try the feature early can find it in Firefox Nightly.
