Not a web dev. Is there a way to force U2F with firefox for google accounts? The lack of (obvious) U2F support in FF for Google accounts is one of the things holding me back from switching back to FF from Chrome.

Note that if you enable 2fa with Chrome, then you can log in with Firefox. Just adding/removing keys (in Google) doesn't work.

Yep, I've just been through this process on both personal and work Gsuite.

They've changed the message in Firefox to make it a little clearer this is how to do it.

"We agreed then to implement a hard-coded permission for Google Accounts when utilizing FIDO U2F API credential support, whether that was via Web Authentication’s backward compatibility extension, or via Firefox’s FIDO U2F API support hidden behind the “security.webauth.u2f” preference."
