WebAuthn with YubiKey 5 doesn't work on my 2015 MacBook Pro (works in Safari & Chrome)

Hello,

My problem is pretty much as described in the title, I simply can't use my YubiKey with Firefox, but it works fine with Safari and Chrome.

To test I am using https://webauthn.bin.coffee . There aren't any sites which work that I am aware of.

Firefox simply says "x wants to register an account with one of your security keys. You can connect and authorize one now, or cancel.", a variation of the message is shown when attempting to log in, but the results are the same.

Simply nothing happens. The key doesn't start blinking, no PIN prompt shows up, touching the key also doesn't do anything.

I am seeing this issue across two macOS installs, I recently reinstalled macOS and tested it on a fresh Firefox install, same issue.

I attached screenshot of Firefox (the key is plugged in and NOT blinking) and of Safari (key plugged in, IS blinking and touching it continues to PIN entry.)

Edit: I am using a YubiKey 5 NFC which I am connecting directly via a USB-A port on my MBP.
