If it’s trying to talk to a device over Bluetooth or USB, it’s not supported in Firefox. Mozilla refuses to implement WebUSB because they think the danger of letting people accidentally flashing malware onto a physical device outweighs the benefits.

It’s probably using WebView, or whatever it’s called where an android app brings up a browser window. If you have Firefox as your default web browser, apps will use it instead of chrome. It’s usually pretty nice, because if you have adblock in Firefox you also get adblock in the app.
