Firefox AI control will let users switch off all built-in and future AI features with a single setting, giving them more control over how they use the browser.
SAN FRANCISCO: Mozilla is working on a new feature that will make it much easier for Firefox users to turn off AI tools.
The upcoming Firefox AI control will include a simple option called “Block AI Enhancements.” With just one click, users can disable all built-in AI features and stop future AI tools from turning on automatically.
Instead of searching through different menus, users will have one place to manage AI features in the browser.

The setting will switch off AI-powered writing suggestions, smart recommendations and other generative AI tools that Mozilla may add in future updates. It is designed for people who prefer a more traditional browsing experience without AI.
As more apps and browsers continue adding artificial intelligence, Mozilla is taking a different approach by giving users an easy way to opt out.
The company says the new feature is about giving people more choice over how they use their browser. Rather than forcing AI tools on everyone, Firefox will let users decide whether they want them.

The Firefox AI control could also appeal to users who have concerns about privacy or simply do not want AI features running while they browse the web.
The move comes at a time when AI is becoming a bigger part of everyday software. From writing assistants to search tools and smart suggestions, many platforms are adding AI to improve user experience. However, not everyone wants those features enabled.
By putting everything under a single setting, Mozilla hopes to make AI controls simple and easy to understand. Users will not have to worry about turning off each feature one by one as new AI tools are introduced.
The Firefox AI control shows Mozilla’s focus on giving users more control over their browsing experience while keeping AI optional instead of mandatory.
