Mozilla's latest update to Firefox for Android introduces some powerful new features that enhance both security and productivity for users of the popular web browser.
Firefox 130 for Android finally catches up to its desktop counterpart by adding a built-in password generator. This long-awaited feature allows users to create strong, unique passwords when signing up for new online accounts without relying on third-party password manager extensions. The browser will now automatically prompt users to generate a secure password during account creation, similar to functionality already offered by Chrome and other browsers.
But that's not all - Firefox 130 also brings AI chatbot integration to the browser's sidebar. Users can now access popular AI assistants like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude and others directly within Firefox, without having to switch tabs or apps. This experimental feature, accessible through the new Firefox Labs settings page, allows for quick AI-powered lookups and text generation while browsing.
Other notable improvements in this update include:
- Faster webpage loading through improved resource downloading
- Translation support for 11 new languages, bringing the total to 28
- Weather reports on the new tab page for users in the US and Canada
- Security fixes for several high-impact vulnerabilities
For Android users looking to enhance their browsing experience with improved security and cutting-edge AI integration, Firefox 130 offers a compelling package of updates. The new version is rolling out now through the Google Play Store.
To access the new features, make sure you're running Firefox 130 or higher by checking for updates in your browser settings. The AI chatbot integration can be enabled through Settings > Firefox Labs once you've updated.
