Didn’t know Firefox had an “AI sidebar”

Similar to the “AI should be an assistant programmer, not an independent dev”, having Claude there and being able to ask questions about specific topics while I read is fantastic. Especially for scientific papers that are outside my specialty (i.e. all of them.)

I enjoy reading technical blogs from the global south and the slavic world. I've found that LLMs do a far better job at translation than Google Translate/DeepL, etc. in these niche domains, so I added a translate prompt to my context menu and that converted me over to using it.

Then you could change the prompts, for example, those are mine :
browser.ml.chat.prompts.0 {"id":"search", "value": "What do you know about the selected text?", "label": "Search"}
browser.ml.chat.prompts.1 {"id":"grammar", "value": "Can you fix the grammar in the selected text?", "label": "Grammar"}
browser.ml.chat.prompts.2 {"id":"summary", "value": "Can you summarize the selected text?", "label": "Summary"}
browser.ml.chat.prompts.3 {"id":"code", "value": "Can you explain the selected code?", "label": "Code"}
browser.ml.chat.prompts.4 {"id":"translate", "value": "Can you translate the selected text?", "label": "Translate"}
I have found instructions here https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/advanced-configur..., though they are a bit outdated since you have to setup prompts differently.
