It’s important to note that it’s not a matter of effort for Firefox. They’ve decided that the it’s not something they want to implement[1]. The reasoning is that they think it allows low enough level access to potentially mess with devices who weren’t made to be resilient to malicious input, and didn’t like that the proposed method of allowing web Bluetooth is based on a default allow policy with a blocklist, which means as new Bluetooth device vulnerabilities are discovered, this blocklist has to be maintained.

Wouldn't the correct time to raise those concerns be during the web bluetooth design process? The idea that a browser decides "nah" about a web standard because they're mad about it seems like the road to ruin

Then again, almost every time a Firefox thread appears here it gets filled with comments pointing out how low its adoption is so I guess "well, yeah" sums it up (he said, commenting from Firefox)

Funnily Mozilla had implemented Web Bluetooth API for Firefox OS long ago: https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/Bluetooth
