Why navigator.credentials.get function not working in firefox addon

Calling function navigator.credentials.get({ publicKey }) from background in Firefox addon throws following error The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission..

I cant find any information about that issue. Is there any way to use WebAuthn functions in Firefox addon scripts? In Chrome extension it works without any problems.

I struggled with getting webauthn to work for literally months, turns out there's a stupid firefox bug which throws a false negative- If you have the console open, it doesn't work. Closing the console finally fixed it for me. Here's the bug report:

hope this helps, Kevin
