Apple has rolled out official support for Firefox in the latest update to its iCloud for Windows app, allowing users to autofill and access their iCloud Passwords directly in Mozilla’s browser for the first time.Hasn’t this been available for months? Not exactly.A Firefox extension for iCloud Passwords has been listed on the Mozilla Add-ons store for months, but it wasn’t functional on Windows.
Until now, as observed on Reddit, only Chrome and Microsoft Edge were fully supported via the iCloud for Windows app.Now, that’s over.With the latest update, autofill now works in Firefox the same way it does in other supported browsers, using the extension to pull credentials from your iCloud account.
It is worth noting that users still need the iCloud for Windows app from the Microsoft Store to enable the feature, and also that there’s still no web-based password manager.It might be Windows 11-only While Apple didn’t formally announce the update, several Reddit users spotted a catch: they reported success using Firefox with iCloud Passwords on Windows 11, while others on Windows 10 say the option still doesn’t appear to be available at all.That suggests this might be a Windows 11–only feature for now, though Apple hasn’t clarified one way or the other.
Either way, if you’re a Firefox user who has been stuck using Edge or Chrome just to get iCloud Passwords working on Windows, your life might’ve just gotten a bit easier, provided you’re on Windows 11.Apple Watch deals on Amazon 40mm Apple Watch SE 2: $169 (was $249) 42mm Apple Watch Series 10: $279 (was $399) 46mm Apple Watch Series 10: $309.99 (was $429) 49mm Apple Watch Ultra 2: $649 (was $799) You’re reading 9to5Mac — experts who break news about Apple and its surrounding ecosystem, day after day.Be sure to check out our homepage for all the latest news, and follow 9to5Mac on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn to stay in the loop.
