Firefox Users May Soon Search With Perplexity AI

Perplexity AI

Mozilla Firefox, the popular web browser, is experimenting with integrating the AI-driven Perplexity Search Engine directly into its user interface.

Currently being trialed in Firefox version 139, the feature invites users to explore a new way of searching right from their address bar, signaling a significant evolution in how Firefox approaches search functionality.

A Callout That Signals Change

When Firefox enters Search Mode, users may now see a callout message:

“Introducing Perplexity: a new way to search in Firefox. Ask questions. Get complete, well-cited answers.”
Options: Try Perplexity | Dismiss

This small but powerful prompt represents Mozilla’s growing interest in AI and its potential to disrupt the traditional search engine experience, long dominated by Google.

Perplexity AI offers conversational, citation-backed answers powered by large language models, making it a natural fit for users looking for clarity without sifting through multiple links.

Unlike conventional search engines, Perplexity emphasizes direct responses and contextual relevance.

Firefox users already have access to the Perplexity AI chatbot via the sidebar, but this new feature promotes it to a more central, in-browser experience. Mozilla is handling this as a controlled experiment in the background.

According to a project note first reported by WindowsReport, Mozilla engineer Mandy Cheang is leading development on a “draft experiment recipe” that lays the groundwork for testing this feature with select users.

Community Support and User Demand

On platforms like Mozilla Connect, community members have shown growing interest in seeing Perplexity offered as an official search engine option. The direct callout in the browser elevates that possibility from discussion to implementation.

Reddit and other forums have been buzzing with feedback, some praising the innovation, others raising flags about AI data practices.

Mozilla has reassured users that all AI integrations will remain optional, transparent, and privacy-respecting.

“Any AI we add to Firefox will follow our user-first values. It will be opt-in, not forced,” a Mozilla spokesperson emphasized.

As Firefox users explore this new feature, Mozilla’s challenge will be balancing innovation with its core promise: putting users and their privacy first.
