    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 flash 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.

        It’s possible that the sign-in webpage wants to talk to the camera before returning control to the app.

          I guess you are talking about the in app browser thing and not the webview. I just don’t get sign in requiring communication to the camera. Its things you usually do after signing in. But idk maybe a weird implementation

      Yeah this is the remote shooting app, for camera control, it’ll use Bluetooth to establish connection with the camera and then switch to WiFi for live view.
