Firefox’s Smart Window promises a better AI browser
TL;DR
Starting today, AI chats in Firefox's Smart Window AI browsing mode can pull from current web info and show source links in chat responses through a partnership with Exa. Smart Window can also now automatically suggest tab groups and show visual previews of pages you previously visited when you search your browsing history using natural language.
Nauti's Take
For small teams, the first test is straightforward: ask Smart Window to reconstruct a specific research trail from your history, then check every AI result against the linked original page. The key questions are whether source links appear consistently and how much control you have over which browsing history enters the workflow.

I saw a live demo that showed how the Smart Window AI could sort through selected links in your browsing history to pull up "running shoes I looked at last week," and pop up images pulled from the sites browsed previously.
