We definitely want to add Firefox support!
We haven't yet done so because we really want to nail the experience on a single platform first (Chrome).
Text insertion on the web is actually surprisingly complex [0] and we leverage some DOM API's that aren't fully standardized yet. Focusing just on Chrome for the moment allows us to really figure out the experience before we expand to other browsers like Firefox, along with Desktop and Mobile applications.
[0] There are so many different ways to support text input on the web. Take Google Docs for instance; when you type into it, you are actually typing into a hidden iframe element that captures your keystrokes and then updates the document model. Figuring out how to support all these edge cases is tricky.
