For gods sake please support non-hardware token passkeys like everyone else (you know, the QR Code type). I literally can’t login to some services in Linux Firefox because I have passkeys in Apple’s passwords app. I don’t want to use Chrome in *nix but I have to for the time being.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

bitwarden?
Wouldn’t matter. Firefox on Linux doesn’t support any of them.
And, while I like old hardware, the first x86-64 chips shipped in 2003. So, this is not exactly a Windows 11 situation.
Hardware older than that is going to struggle with modern browsers. A PC from that era would probably have less than 1 GB of RAM and perhaps a max RAM well under 4 GB (the theoretical limit). Using older software versions is probably best anyway.
Good update.
I'd like to see Firefox password manager be separated from the browser. Using a browser password manager just sucks because it doesnt work outside the browser. The sync is good enough to make me happy paying$1 a month for.
For tab groups they need to add the ability to auto move certain sites into the group the ai suggestion sucks and it doesnt autocollect tabs so its pointless.
For containers I'd like to see them add a default container to open with.
I thought Mozilla also has a separate app for passwords
Nah they have one for checking passwords in breaches. The only password manager they have is the one built into Firefox and thats great but i want one for my phone when i log into apps.
Here's what I meant https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/end-of-support-firefox-lockwise
Sad, another project killed by Mozilla.
OT, but I feel like ~~I keep seeing more of these "foo 1.2.3 released" announcements here on this channel.~~
Is it on topic, though? Shouldn't the channel be more about Linux specific topics, rather than place for people to discuss updates of arbitrary selection of apps which just share the fact that they also run on Linux?
Edit: Technically the "I feel like" part was true but looking at the topic post .. factually I'm totally wrong; it's like 1 in 20 at most.
Copy Link to Highlight is my favorite addition.
