Mozilla is rolling out two new capabilities to Firefox's Smart Window AI browsing beta: a tool that auto-fills web forms using data pulled from a user's open tabs, and a 'watch' feature that monitors specified webpages for changes like sales or job postings. The form-fill feature works on text fields with four or more entries and sends source-page data to Google's Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite model, while the watch feature checks pages daily or weekly and notifies users via the Tasks button or desktop alerts. Both features launch first on desktop in the US and Canada, with wider rollout planned for coming months.
