I don't want to use passkeys, and it seems that every site is checking browser support and wasting my time with passkey prompts before allowing me to log in with a password. How do I disable passkey support in Firefox?

Try to enter about:config in the address bar and set security.webauthn.enable_macos_passkeys to false.

I was able to set that setting, now I guess I'll wait and see if I stop getting annoyed by those prompts.

What will I need to do when I'm not on a mac?

Nope, some sites are still prompting for passkey creation, including homedepot.com

Did you close (Quit Firefox) and restart Firefox after changing the pref?
