Is it normal that Firefox is trying to load the dll related to the Windows Credential Manager (vaultcli.dll)

"firefox.exe loaded module vaultcli.dll"

If so, what's the purpose of this interaction?

From the looks of it, Firefox is trying to access locally stored credentials using the Credentials Management API.
