Hi all!

  1. There are only 93 votes left for the total votes to be 100 votes
  2. I see that the number of 100 votes can be considered in some cases as indicative of the idea's status as in review/development
  3. I would be happy if this feature reaches 100 votes - it would indicate that it is a good feature to be reviewed by the technical development team of Mozilla Firefox
  4. If you can't reach 100 votes, thanks to everyone who's helped so far - Anyway, I'd like to thank all 7 votes I've received so far
  5. I talked about all this, because if the feature enters Mozilla Firefox it can help the IPFS community to become popular and also help users who want greater privacy and data security in Mozilla Firefox

I also believe that implementing IPFS itself is only the first step.


I would also like to see a wallet with private keys to decrypt encrypted content in a legitimate wallet.
You can think of this type of "wallet" as a powerful offline password manager like KeePassXC, which should support:
- crypto wallet addresses, so we can exchange money for content
- private keys to decrypt IPFS content just for us.
- passwords for legacy communication with old services.

Also note that Firefox users don't use it for convenience. If we don't keep up with the times, users will soon switch native Web3 browsers.

Where are the days when Firefox led with innovation?

Even Opera supports IPFS.

Firefox is just becoming an old dino.

Relatedly (don't ban me...) for those who don't know (since it hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet), there's a libre addon that provides this functionality for Firefox, called IPFS Companion. It works great but IPFS needs to be a first class feature.

But at this rate I definitely share the sentiment of joso997, &c. (I didn't @ because not really necessary...). Firefox needs to actually keep up with the times and "innovate" (if by innovate we mean keep pace) instead of continuously rearranging the UI and removing features and breaking addons.

Hey everyone,

I would like to comment that if this feature is made here at Mozilla Firefox, it would be happy to use Mozilla Firefox. For now the only browser that has this feature is Brave, Opera and Google Chrome. In the case of Mozilla Firefox has the IPFS extension, but if the feature was in the browser would not need to have an extension.
