Apple’s iCloud Password Support Extension for Firefox on Windows PC
Apple has recently introduced support for iCloud passwords on Mozilla Firefox for Windows PC through an extension. This new feature allows users to conveniently autofill their credentials while browsing on the popular browser.
Previous Limitations and Recent Update
Previously, this functionality was only available for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge users on Windows PC. However, Apple has now extended this capability to Mozilla Firefox users as well. Users can now seamlessly manage and autofill their passwords on Firefox using their iCloud credentials.
Using the iCloud for Windows App
While the extension provides support for iCloud passwords on Firefox, it is important to note that there is no standalone password manager available. Users will need to utilize the iCloud for Windows app to effectively manage their credentials and enable the autofill feature on the browser.
User Reactions and Community Feedback
Following the update, members of the Reddit community expressed relief and satisfaction. Some users mentioned that they had previously switched to Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge due to the lack of iCloud password support on Firefox. With this new extension, Firefox users can now enjoy the same convenient autofill feature.
Privacy Concerns and Recent Developments
Despite the extension being available since February, Apple delayed making it functional for users until a recent update. This delay raised concerns, especially considering Apple’s reputation for prioritizing user privacy. Additionally, previous complaints against Firefox regarding user data tracking without consent have also been highlighted in the context of this extension.
