TL;DR

  • Firefox 148 adds a new AI controls section that lets you manage or fully disable the browser’s AI features.
  • A single toggle can block all current and future AI tools, including chatbots, translations, and link previews.
  • The update rolls out on February 24, with early access available now in Firefox Nightly.

Some people get excited whenever a company introduces its users to new AI tools, but a growing contingent has only one question: how do I turn this off? With its next desktop update, Firefox is finally offering a clear answer.

According to a post on the Mozilla blog, Firefox 148 will add a new AI controls section to the browser’s settings when it rolls out on February 24. This gives you a single place to manage Firefox’s generative AI features, including a master toggle that blocks both current and future AI tools altogether.
