Serious question re the auth part:

Have you tried submitting PRs? Much of the complaints that I see about the development side of Firefox are grounded on the fac that "they won't have this cool thing that Chrome has", ignoring that those things are usually dangerous or are rejected for justified, studied reasons (see: WebUSB). Sounds just about the area where auth would have issues, and it'd be interesting to see what Firefox's actual response was.

Who knows, maybe they're cluing you that you shouldn't depending on Google...

Well, as much as I like Firefox (and I even donate to the Mozilla foundation), I know for a fact that companies won't pay their programmers money to make PR on Firefox.

I did try, unfortunately, in something as big as a browser it's very time consuming to even fix simple bugs without side effects.
