None of the browser based COM port uploader tools work on Firefox yet. Like the WLED installer or the ESP32 flash tools.

The best part about chrome is that you don’t have to have it

I have no idea what any of that means

I think Yucandu has hardware that he wants to flash with new firmware, and you generally do that via a com-port (remnant of an old type of connector). Oversimplified: These days com-ports are simulated over usb, and (for now) only chrome-based browsers can actually send the firware over these simulated ports. An example is the flasher for Meshcore devices.

I… Don’t even see why you would want a browser to be able to do that. Seems like really trying to increase browser security issues on purpose.

Unless…
You have to use a website that is absolutely necessary for your job or government paperwork, that only works on chromium browsers (and ungoogled chromium doesn’t help)
