Firefox to Allow Users to Block All Generative AI Features
Mozilla announced that Firefox will soon allow users to block all current and future generative AI features within the browser, according to TechCrunch. The update, rolling out with Firefox 148 on February 24, 2026, will include a new AI controls section within the desktop browser settings.
The move comes as other companies increasingly integrate AI into their browsers, The Verge reported. Unlike some competitors, Firefox will give users the option to disable all AI-powered features or choose which individual features to keep enabled. Emma Roth, a news writer for The Verge, noted that the update will allow users to "disable or enable the browser's individual AI features."
Within the new AI controls, users can turn on the "Block AI enhancements" toggle to prevent pop-ups or reminders to use existing or upcoming AI features, according to TechCrunch. The new controls will also allow users to manage AI features individually, including Translations, which allows users to browse the web in their preferred language.
