Facebook security login failure on firefox
Hi, the problem is simple: I cannot pass the security gate of Facebook/Meta at passkey scan. Just because Firefox engine doesn't fire the passkey options from Windows Security.
May the dev team see this before I switch to Chrome as my default browser, as this has been inconvenient for months. And you won't happen to see this bug.
To the community, if you know how to fix it, would love to get your advice.
Thanks, T.

- Test WebAuthn in Firefox**
Type:
`about:config`
Search for:
`security.webauth.webauthn`
This setting should be **true**. Disabling it prevents Firefox from using passkeys, so it is not a solution for users who want to authenticate on Facebook using Windows Security.
There are some older forum posts suggesting disabling it, but that only works around passkeys instead of fixing the integration issue.

Not successful. Unfortunately. Tried webauthn.io for a simulation but no passkey prompt appeared.
