Hasn't this already existed in Firefox for the best part of the last year? I see a "Ask ChatGPT" context menu option with various tasks ("Proofread", "Summarise" etc) when I right click. It's easy to remove or point at a different provider too (browser.ml.chat.provider) if you prefer a different model, and I think the prompts are customisable.

Sounds like you installed some kind of extension maybe? This definitely does not seem like any Firefox default behavior.

No, it's part of the browser. Still experimental, though.

OK, found it: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ai-chatbot

> Starting with Firefox version 133, you have the option to use an AI chatbot of your choice in an updated sidebar. The sidebar allows you to keep a variety of browser tools, including a chatbot, in view as you browse. Right now, you can choose from the following chatbot providers: Anthropic Claude, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, HuggingChat by Hugging Face and Le Chat Mistral.
