The Firefox address bar now features a "Manage AI" quick action, enabling users to open the browser's artificial intelligence settings section directly. This change, introduced in release 154, streamlines the process of configuring or disabling integrated AI features, addressing community demands for transparent control over browser capabilities.

Centralized AI Feature Control

The new quick action aligns with Mozilla's broader strategy to make AI management explicit and accessible. Previously, accessing these settings required manual navigation through configuration menus. With Firefox 154, interaction becomes immediate: a click on the address bar leads directly to the control panel, where users can adjust AI feature activation or manage data usage preferences.

Technical Improvements and Security

Beyond the headline feature, release 154 introduces several under-the-hood updates. Local Area Network (LAN) protections now extend to WebSocket connections, strengthening local communication security. Additionally, the update clears and updates cached favicons when a forced page reload is requested, ensuring visual accuracy of websites. For developers, several WebDriver improvements and support for the sandbox manifest key have been introduced.

Cross-Platform Local Profiles

Another significant aspect concerns data portability: local profile backups on macOS can now be restored on Windows and Linux systems. This functionality facilitates migration between operating platforms while maintaining the integrity of extensions and configurations. The release also includes enhancements to vertical tabs and updates for the Android version, where automatic translation reliability has been improved for users with multiple selected languages.

Download and Availability

Firefox 154.0 is available for immediate download from ftp.mozilla.org. For those wishing to explore the technical details of the changes, the beta release notes provide a comprehensive overview of modifications made to the browser engine and experimental web APIs.
