With the update to Firefox 139.0, Mozilla introduces an exciting new function: AI-based link previews. The experimental preview shows you a short summary of the linked content, even before you even click on it. The whole thing is activated by key combination Alt + Shift while you hover with the mouse pointer over a link. So far, however, the function has not yet been available in our editorial team.
The feature is loud Mozilla Currently still in test mode and must be activated manually in the Firefox settings under “Firefox Labs”. It was announced for the first time as part of the Firefox version 138, but is now available for more users. The aim is to make the Surfalltag more efficient – regardless of whether you are technically versed or not.

More AI summary in browsers
Mozilla is thus involved in the current development of upgrading browsers with artificial intelligence. While Google integrates its Gemini-Ki in Chrome and places Microsoft on a design generator in Edge, Mozilla starts with a rather subtle but useful feature. Apple also experimented with AI summary in Safari, but only in more reader-friendly reader mode.
It remains to be seen whether the link previews change web traffic in the long term. One thing is clear: If you often ask yourself whether a click on a link is worthwhile, you will get a practical tool with Firefox 139.0.
The function is already available for some to try it out in the latest version and should gradually be released for more users. A popular service in Mozilla Firefox, on the other hand, will be discontinued on July 8, 2025, which is why you must now act.
