Hi, I'm trying to test Webauthn using webauthn.io website, but it looks like none of Firefox version on Android supports it. I tried: - Firefox 81.1.4 - Firefox Beta 82.0.0-beta.6 - Firefox Nightly 201016 (Build #2015770059) all available from google play store

I found that this should be supported: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2019/08/05/web-authentication-in-firefox-for-android/

What am I missing?

Right, I found that there are settings in about:config and: - Firefox -> can't load about:config, something about bad certificate is in url after typing about:config into address bar :( - Firefox Beta -> the settings was on false, I've changes all of them to True - Firefox Nightly -> the settings was on false, I've changes all of them to True

Now webauthn.io reports that webauthn is supported but the demo doesn't work. Nothing happens after clicking register. I've also checked webauthn.me, it also doesn't work. I haven' debuged it yet with remote debugger so I'm not sure if there is any error in logs that would explain the situation.

Investigating further...
