Features & Capabilities

Enable Bing Chat in Firefox seamlessly with the "Enable Bing Chat" extension. This add-on changes your browser's user-agent string to mimic Microsoft Edge, allowing access to Bing Chat, which is officially only available on Edge. Note that while this extension enables the chat interface by modifying requests to bing.com, Bing Chat features are controlled by Microsoft, and any issues with chat functionality are beyond the add-on's scope.

Ideal for Firefox users eager to experience Bing Chat without switching browsers, this lightweight extension works by sending requests that appear to originate from Microsoft Edge, granting access to Bing's chat capabilities directly in Firefox. For a smooth and integrated Bing Chat experience, install "Enable Bing Chat" today.

Broken in Firefox 141.0 for Windows. I get "Firefox Can't Open This Page: To protect your security, copilot.microsoft.com will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. To see this page, you need to open it in a new window."

Is Enable Bing Chat Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Enable Bing Chat requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Request access to the following domains: bing.com
  • High ****** *** ********* ** ******* *** ******* ******* ** ****** *** *** ******** ******
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Enable Bing Chat may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
