This is a feature request for Firefox browser, not Firefox Reality.

benbucksch commented 5 years ago

no, it's not. I want "Firefox Reality" to work on MixedReality headsets. Firefox for Windows already does work with them, as I wrote.

Firefox Reality is currently targeting standalone VR headsets only. WebVR currently is supported on Windows Mixed Reality via using Firefox and SteamVR.

Firefox Reality is launched on desktop now: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2019/01/08/mozilla-announces-deal-to-bring-firefox-reality-to-htc-vive-devices/

It would be nice to use an API that supports all headsets. Almost all games on Steam work fine with the Windows MixedReality headsets, even if the game developers do not specifically support them.

Firefox Reality is in the Microsoft Windows store, but locked to WindowsAR headsets, no WindowsMR:
