Firefox AI Feature Causes CPU Spikes: Why Users Are Frustrated and How to Fix It
1 min read
Summary
Mozilla, developers of the Firefox web browser, has integrated an AI tool which groups tabs together based on their semantic relationship.
While the tool sounds useful, it comes at a cost, with several Reddit users complaining about CPU spikes causing slow browsing, battery drain and general slowness.
Firefox users can disable the new AI tool via the browser’s advanced settings, turning off the AI chatbot feature and smart tab grouping.
There are also other recommended extensions users can install to mitigate the CPU spikes caused by resource-heavy scripts.
This comes after Microsoft Edge and Chrome also integrated AI tools, some of which can be disabled or tinkered with to reduce CPU usage.
