Firefox’s Smart Window adds AI form filling and webpage monitoring
The Verge • • technology
Key Points:
- Mozilla is enhancing Firefox's AI-powered Smart Window with a new feature that can autofill online forms by extracting information from your open tabs, such as pulling work history from LinkedIn or online portfolios.
- Users can activate this feature by clicking into a form with at least four text fields and selecting "Fill from sources," allowing them to choose which tabs Firefox uses to generate autofill suggestions; support for dropdown menus and PDFs is planned.
- Smart Window now also allows users to monitor specific webpages for updates like sales or job listings by setting up a "/watch" task, with Firefox checking for changes daily or weekly while the browser is open and sending notifications upon detection.
- The watch feature will pause if no updates are found after 60 days and stop entirely after 90 days, helping manage notifications and resource use.
- These updates are currently available in the Smart Window beta on desktop for users in the US and Canada, with plans to expand to other countries in the coming months.
