Pinned Bing Chat 📌

Firefox addon that creates a pinned tab for Bing Chat, allowing to quickly switch to the tab whenever you need to access the chat. To use this add-on, you must have Firefox installed and you may have to be logged in your MS account, with access to the AI Chat feature.

Installing an official release 📥

Download the extension from the official public listing or grab the latest compiled addon from the Releases page and drag-and-drop it onto Firefox

Installing a dev version (only temporary) 🧑‍💻

  • Clone or download the repository
  • Execute the makexpi.sh bash script (only works on linux or WSL, you also need inkscape installed)
  • Open Firefox and navigate to about:debugging
  • Click on the "This Firefox" menu item and select "Load Temporary Add-on"
  • Navigate to the .xpi file created earlier and select it
  • The add-on is now installed and should appear in the Firefox toolbar

How to use 🤔

  • Configure the add-on as needed, from the Add-ons options (read Options section)
  • Click on the add-on button in the Firefox toolbar
  • The add-on will create a pinned tab for accessing the AI Chat
  • The button icon can be set according to the user's preference (either the add-on's icon or the website's favicon)
  • If a pinned Chat tab already exists, it will be activated instead of creating a new one

Options ⚙️

To change the shortcut to switch to the Bing Chat tab or the button icon, go to the options page:

  • Click on the three horizontal lines in the Firefox toolbar
  • Click on "Add-ons"
  • Find the add-on and click on the "Options" button
  • Update the shortcut or the icon style as needed
