## Options
|
||||
|
||||
Open `about:addons`, select this extension, and choose the **Options** tab
|
||||
(**Preferences** on macOS and Linux). Available settings:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Model** *(experimental)* — a model slug such as `auto`. ChatGPT may ignore
|
||||
it and use your account default; leave blank to always use the account
|
||||
default.
|
||||
- **Request a temporary chat** — asks ChatGPT not to save the conversation.
|
||||
ChatGPT may not honour this; check its own indicator before relying on it.
|
||||
- **Ask ChatGPT to use web search** — a hint to ChatGPT's interface, not a
|
||||
guarantee.
|
||||
- **Open in** — a new tab, a new background tab, or a new window.
|
||||
- **Prompt template** — wraps your text, for example `Explain simply: {query}`.
|
||||
|
||||
These settings apply to the new entry points: selecting text and choosing
|
||||
**Ask ChatGPT** from the right-click menu, or pressing
|
||||
<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>G</kbd>. Rebind the shortcut under
|
||||
**Manage Extension Shortcuts** in the Add-ons gear menu.
|
||||
|
||||
The `gpt <query>` address-bar search is unchanged and does not read these
|
||||
settings.
|
||||
|
||||
The options panel, the right-click item, and the keyboard shortcut require
|
||||
Firefox 112 or newer. On older versions the extension still installs and the
|
||||
`gpt <query>` address-bar search still works; only these newer features are
|
||||
inactive.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why you press Enter twice
|
||||
|
||||
ChatGPT no longer submits prompts that are passed to it in a URL — it fills them
|
||||
into the composer and waits. So `gpt <query>` opens ChatGPT with your query
|
||||
filled in, and you press Enter there to send it.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a change OpenAI made to chatgpt.com, not a fault in this extension, and
|
||||
it is outside our control. It was a deliberate security measure: automatically
|
||||
running a prompt that arrived in a link let malicious links execute instructions
|
||||
in a signed-in ChatGPT session. The extra keypress is the checkpoint that
|
||||
prevents that. No API key, server, or intermediary is involved either way.
