Hi,

Does anybody know what does this do behind the hood?

AFAICT, it opens up a sidebar pain with a list of links for commonly used LLMs. Each link goes to the login page of each LLM. So I guess it's just a webpage in a sidebar pane?

Pain indeed.

Or you can configure it to use local ollama, and actually use it when needed

    browser.ml.chat.hideLocalhost: false
    browser.ml.chat.provider:  http://localhost:11434

I was unaware that there were AI features in Firefox.

I think they just got added in an update. They suddenly showed up on my devices yesterday (2025-07-23 US).
