"browser doesn't support the new native filesystem API (https://web.dev/file-system-access)" when using desktop Firefox 145.0 for Windows

SuMo Bot

When using desktop Firefox 145.0 for Windows to browse the demo page of Logseq, the division/button to choose a folder on my computer is missing, and the following text is in place instead.

"It seems that your browser doesn't support the new native filesystem API, please use any Chromium 86+ based browser like Chrome, Vivaldi, Edge, etc. Notice that the API doesn't support mobile browsers at the moment."

Isisombululo Esikhethiwe

I mean that this API is unofficial and only chromium browsers like Chrome, Edge etc (only on desktop computers) support it.

And I mean that official position of Mozilla about supporting this API in the future is negative.

Tested on Chrome, Edge, Comet, and Arc browsers, the division/button to choose a folder on my computer shows up successfully.

Right, we don't want to support this API, this is chromium-only.

Oh? 😮

(1) I currently do not have sufficient domain knowledge to understand what you meant by "this is chromium-only." 🥲

(2) Are you one of the developers (community) of Firefox? If you are, then does it mean that: "the 'problem'/'situation' is solved" or "the 'problem'/'situation' is negligible"? 🤔
