Regarding the current state of Firefox and WebUSB, I have four thoughts:
- Yes, Mozilla's concerns regarding the security risks are valid, but not insurmountable.
- In my experience, this is the single W3C noncompliance that impedes my use of Firefox.
- In my experience, an increasing number of companies/organizations are leveraging WebUSB, from core-functionality of end-user hardware to enterprise-level troubleshooting, configuration, and support.
- If Mozilla permits the use of unsigned plugins for its Firefox Developer Edition because of the reasonable expectation that its users understand the risks, it stands to reason that the same could be said for WebUSB.
