Mozilla said on March 6, 2026 that Anthropic’s AI-assisted red team surfaced more than a dozen verifiable Firefox security bugs. Mozilla says engineers validated and fixed most of the issues before Firefox 148 shipped.

Anthropic says Claude Opus 4.6 found 22 Firefox vulnerabilities in a two-week collaboration with Mozilla, including 14 high-severity bugs. The company argues current frontier models are already powerful defensive security researchers and that developers should use the window before offensive capability catches up.
