Hm, I wasn't aware of the authentication stuff. A nice usecase immediately springs to mind: authenticate users seamlessly with a password manager. Instead of an actual password, it could be something stronger that can't easily be typed in, perhaps using public keys. Password forms just suck.

It would be nice to just set up the file once and then dump it into place on new installs.
I'm sure I've said it before, but one of my big annoyances are the prompts to share location and enable desktop notifications. I want location shared and desktop notifications from about 3% of the websites I visit, so for the other 97% of sites that little pop-up prompt is just a waste of screen space.

Thanks Mozilla for providing "safe", "open" and "privacy respecting" browser.
Truly freedom heroes.
Even if some DRM started to require smartcard auth what does that have to do with Firefox not being "safe" or "open" or "privacy respecting" anymore?

The USB authentication is for things like GitHub or intranet sites where private keys/2-step verification can be used to log in.
Smartcards and DRM are an entirely different subject, entirely.

No video decoding on GPU and no proper touchscreen support in 2018.
