Firefox Extension for Windows 10 Account Integration
Windows 10 Accounts Port is a subscription-based Firefox extension designed to facilitate sign-ins to supported websites using Windows 10 accounts. This extension is particularly useful for users who prefer to integrate their Windows credentials within the Firefox browser. It was ported from the Chrome version and allows users to leverage native messaging for seamless authentication. However, it is important to note that starting from Firefox 91, the need for this extension has diminished due to direct integration with Windows Single Sign-On (SSO). Users are encouraged to refer to the official support page for enabling this feature.
To set up the extension, users must create a specific manifest file and execute a registry command to register the native messaging host within their system. This process ensures that the extension operates correctly within Firefox, allowing for a smooth login experience across various websites. While the integration provides a convenient way to manage logins, users should be aware of the built-in functionalities already available in newer versions of Firefox.
