Firefox tests AI Smart Window feature that can automatically fill out web forms
Mozilla demonstrated Firefox's Smart Window feature, which runs as a sidebar and lets users use natural language to ask it to fill out web forms such as job applications, service bookings, or online registrations. The feature analyzes form fields on the page, extracts names, contact information, and work experience from materials such as resumes, and fills them into the corresponding fields. Before submission, it shows the user the content to be submitted for review and modification. Mozilla says its positioning is as an intelligent assistant that can understand and operate web content, rather than a mere chatbot, and emphasizes that users can control the scope of information the AI can access. The feature is currently still in testing, and no timeline has been announced for making it available to all Firefox users.

According to a demo shown by Mozilla, this feature runs in the form of a sidebar. Users can interact with the AI directly through natural language, for example asking it to fill out job applications, book services, or complete various online registration processes. The AI analyzes the form fields on the current webpage and automatically fills them in based on the information provided by the user.
In the actual demo, Smart Window was able to read the job application page on a job website and extract relevant information from materials such as a résumé, automatically filling in the corresponding fields with the name, contact details, work experience, and other content. Before performing the filling, the system also shows the user the information about to be submitted, allowing the user to review and modify the content.
Mozilla says that Smart Window is not merely a chatbot, but is intended to become an intelligent assistant capable of understanding and operating webpage content. Unlike traditional browser AI sidebars, which are mainly used for search and question answering, this feature is designed to interact directly with webpage elements, thereby helping users complete more practical tasks.
Privacy remains one of the areas Mozilla emphasizes. The company says the feature will follow Firefox's long-standing privacy protection principles and strive to remain as transparent as possible in how data is used and processed. Users can control the scope of information the AI can access and decide which data may be used to complete tasks.
In recent years, a number of browser vendors and artificial intelligence companies have been trying to move AI from providing information to executing tasks—for example, helping users shop, fill out forms, book services, and manage online affairs. With the launch of Smart Window, Mozilla shows that it is actively participating in the competition for a new generation of AI browser experiences.
Currently, Smart Window is still in the testing phase. Mozilla has not yet announced a specific timeline for opening the feature to all Firefox users, but the direction it has demonstrated suggests that in the future, browsers are expected to evolve further from mere information access tools into intelligent agent platforms capable of proactively helping users complete online tasks.
