Hi folks,
In the next few days, we will start the Nightly experiment which provides easy access to AI services from the sidebar. This functionality is entirely optional, and it’s there to see if it’s a helpful addition to Firefox. It is not built into any core functionality and needs to be turned on by you to see it.
If you want to try the experiment, activate it via Nightly Settings > Firefox Labs (please see full instructions here).
We’d love to hear your feedback once you try out the feature, and we’re open to all your ideas and thoughts, whether it’s small tweaks to the current experience or big, creative suggestions that could boost your productivity and make accessing your favorite tools and services in Firefox even easier.
Thanks so much for helping us improve Firefox!

Please add the Perplexity extension as part of the AI Chatbot options. Thank you.

Go to settings, enable the feature in Firefox Lab and then you will find it in the sidebar by switching between bookmarks and chatbots

OK. I found a solution. Open ChatGPT and then right click on the tab and click on Add to Essentials.
That keeps it in the tab bar, but somehow I suspect it's not supposed to work like that...

I have problems with the function.
If I select “explain this” and have Google Gemini stored, the sidebar opens but the text is not transferred to the sidebar for editing.
BUT when I use ChatGPT or Hugging Chat it works without problems.

please remove this promtly. Nobody asked for, it's destroying my user experience even knowing that firefox is following the absolutely uninformed eco disastrous water wasting time wasting trend of adding ai to something that has been long touted as a better experience than chrome and google browsers. stop wasting resources on something everybody has said they dont want and focus on actual improvements and other areas that firefox would actually greatly benefit from

Thanks for building this. Very cool. Some suggestions:
1. I would like to start chats about entire pages, not just selections.
2. Related to 1., maybe give options to inject context to chats sidebar? For example, when I have AI sidebar open next to a page, and I want to select some content on the page, and inject it into the chat text box in open sidebar.
3. Can I pass image selections to the chatbots? i.e. I select a paragraph of text and some images within it, from a blog post, and want to ask a question.
4. Would be nice to have URL bar shortcut for a chatbots. For example:
- new tab: Cmd +L > type `@mistral` and it should open the chatbot normally.
- tab with a page open: Cmd + L > type `@gemini`, and it should open the chatbot with the page URL and title already injected in the text box.
- Combined with 2, this could work really well.
5. Remember chats across tabs? Not really sure how useful, but some workflows might need to have separate chats open across separate tabs. It would be great if I switch tabs, it goes back to the chat that I had for that tab. Also, if I close and reopen the chat panel, it remembers the last chat for the tab and reopens it.

- I think it's a good and useful thing you support LLM integration with your AI chat bot feature.
- It's good, that it's off by default and it should stay being opt-in. FF is all about choice after all.
- Please add support to use local models by adding support for ollama (and maybe a local OpenAi-complient) API.

Please remove the Ctrl Alt X shortcut, as it gets in the way of Google Docs spell check. Pressing this also turns on the checkbox for the AI, so at least make the shortcut turn off when I deselect the checkbox in the settings menu.
