No Firefox support? Seriously?

• samatman 2y ago
  This is a Firefox problem, not an iFixit problem.

    This is a Mozilla $6B+ wasted money problem.

    What feature is Firefox lacking? It would be nice if the error message was more specific, rather than referring you straight to Google or Microsoft for their latest spyware.

      WebSerial in this instance, and it's also not on Safari on Mac. It's a convenience but I'm happy using CoolTerm on my Mac or launching Chrome if I need some WebSerial feature like in-browser flashing of my Meshtastic nodes.

      > We used Web Serial https://caniuse.com/web-serial https://caniuse.com/web-serial for the interface, which is only supported in Chromium browsers.

    Mozilla didn’t make them implement a browser feature that is not widely available. Believe it or not there are plenty of better soldering irons that don’t require a web browser to configure.

      You don't have to have Chrome to configure it (the story talks about this). It's configured over a serial interface and among browsers only Chrome on desktop implements WebSerial (and probably other browsers based on Chrome). That said, they did go out of their way and make the Chrome experience nice.
