Apple has introduced official support for Firefox in the recent update to its iCloud for Windows application, enabling users to autofill and access their iCloud Passwords directly in Mozilla’s browser for the very first time.
### Hasn’t this been accessible for months?
Not precisely. An extension for Firefox pertaining to iCloud Passwords has been available on the Mozilla Add-ons store for several months, but it was not operational on Windows. Until now, only Chrome and Microsoft Edge have been fully supported through the iCloud for Windows app. With the recent update, autofill functions in Firefox as it does in other supported browsers, utilizing the extension to retrieve credentials from your iCloud account.
It’s important to mention that users still require the iCloud for Windows app from the Microsoft Store to activate this feature, and a web-based password manager is still unavailable.
### It might be Windows 11-exclusive
Although Apple didn’t officially announce the update, multiple Reddit users have reported success in using Firefox with iCloud Passwords on Windows 11, while others on Windows 10 indicate that the option still seems to be nonexistent. This implies that this might currently be a Windows 11-exclusive feature, though Apple has not confirmed this either way.
Regardless, if you’re a Firefox user who has been forced to use Edge or Chrome merely to access iCloud Passwords on Windows, your experience may have just improved, provided you’re on Windows 11.
