Firefox Launches Tab-Based AI Form-Filling to Eliminate Tab-Switching and Copying for Online Applications

Juggling between resume pages and application forms to copy and paste work experience one section at a time is a hassle many people have experienced. Mozilla recently updated its Smart Window feature in Firefox, and the new AI form-filling capability directly addresses this scenario.

Smart Window is an AI-powered browsing assistant feature from Firefox, which has previously launched a suite of web-based AI interaction tools. For context, see previous release coverage. This updated form-filling feature directly uses the user’s currently open tabs as information sources, automatically matching form fields to generate fill-in content.

Per the example in Mozilla’s official update announcement, users open their LinkedIn profile or personal portfolio page beforehand, then navigate to a job application page. The AI can extract work experience, project details, and other content from the open pages to fill in each input field of the application form.

The functionality is straightforward to trigger: as long as the currently open form has at least 4 text input fields, a "Fill from sources" option will appear when you click on the form area. Upon clicking, all tabs that the browser identifies as containing extractable information will be displayed. Users can manually select or uncheck pages as needed, and the browser will generate corresponding fill suggestions once confirmed.

This feature is now available for trial. For detailed instructions, refer to Mozilla’s official support documentation, and access the full report at the original The Verge article.
