Firefox Smart Window adds AI form suggestions and webpage monitoring

Mozilla announced on October 27 that Firefox’s Smart Window desktop beta can suggest text for online forms using tabs a user selects and monitor webpages for requested changes. The features give users new ways to complete applications and track updates while browsing, with an initial release in English in the US and Canada.

How Smart Window fills web forms

Mozilla says the form feature can draw on a selected portfolio or professional profile to suggest work-history details or draft an answer to an application question. It is separate from Firefox’s regular autofill, which handles saved details such as names and addresses. A form must have at least four eligible text fields before the ‘Fill from sources’ option appears, according to Mozilla.

Choosing the feature shares information from the selected source pages with Google’s Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite model to identify fields and extract relevant details, Mozilla says. The company says saved autofill values remain on the device and generated form entries are not saved. That distinction matters when a selected page contains personal information: users control which tabs supply the suggestions and can inspect the result before using it.

How Firefox watches webpages for changes

The other addition lets users type ‘/watch’ in Smart Window chat, describe the change they want to catch and add pages to monitor. They can choose daily or weekly checks. The Verge cited sales and new job listings as examples of updates users might track. Checks run only while Firefox is open, so the schedule does not mean the browser will monitor pages when it is closed.

Mozilla says the Qwen AI model identifies changes that match a task. Matches appear through a Tasks button in the toolbar, and users who enable desktop notifications can receive an alert there too. A user can have up to 15 active tasks and can edit, pause or delete them. Smart Window automatically pauses a task after 60 days without a matching change and stops checking after 90 days without one.

Both additions are available in the Smart Window desktop beta in English in the US and Canada. Mozilla says it plans to bring them to more markets in the coming months; it has not given dates for those releases.
