Firefox Smart Window beta adds page alerts to cut down on refreshing

Firefox Smart Window can now keep an eye out for sales or matching job listings, saving you repeated trips to the refresh button. Page watching and a related form-filling addition are available in the opt-in desktop beta, in English in the U.S. and Canada. Mozilla plans more markets in the coming months; no availability date has been announced for Korea or Japan.

Tell Firefox what change to look for

Type /watch in Smart Window chat, describe the update you want—such as an item going on sale or a new job listing with a particular title or company—and add the pages to follow. Each task can monitor up to five pages, letting you group several stores or job boards around the same request.

Choose a daily or weekly schedule. Checks run only while Firefox is open, so this is not a real-time alert service or a monitor that keeps working after you close the browser.

Where alerts appear—and when watching stops

You can keep up to 15 tasks active and edit, pause or delete them. Matching updates appear through the Tasks button in the toolbar, with desktop notifications also available if you enable them. Clicking a desktop notification opens the watched pages.

Mozilla says tasks automatically pause after 60 days without a matching change and stop checking altogether after 90 days without a change. Page monitoring uses Qwen, without changing the model you selected for Smart Window chat.

Form suggestions draw on tabs you choose

The other addition, Fill from sources, appears when you click a field in a web form with at least four text fields that Smart Window can help fill. It recommends a source page, while the pencil icon opens Edit sources so you can change or add tabs. You choose the sources, review and edit the suggestions, and submit the form yourself—Smart Window will not submit it for you.

Information from your selected source pages is shared with Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite for field detection and information extraction; your Smart Window chat model stays unchanged. Regular autofill for saved details such as names and addresses does not rely on AI, and those saved values stay on your device. The new feature currently supports only text fields and does not save generated form-fill data; support for dropdown menus and PDF forms is being explored.
