Firefox’s Smart Window promises a better AI browser

Starting today, AI chats in Firefox’s Smart Window AI browsing mode can pull from current web info and show source links in chat responses through a partnership with Exa. Smart Window can also now automatically suggest tab groups and show visual previews of pages you previously visited when you search your browsing history using natural language.

I saw a live demo that showed how the Smart Window AI could sort through selected links in your browsing history to pull up “running shoes I looked at last week,” and pop up images pulled from the sites browsed previously. The suggested groups of tabs can also find and close duplicates, making it easier to keep track of what’s important. Instead of mostly having the AI present new results from searches and browsing, it’s sorting through what you’ve already seen and adding citations for results it pulls up from Exa.
