Hello, I started to experience a problem with Mull and Duolingo (and also bromite) that started about 1 month ago.

Basically Duolingo tells me that my browser is not supported but it worked perfectly fine before. Anyone experienced this issue? I can't find an issue on mull repo apparently about this specific issue. Dunno if it is something about resisting fingerprint but I wonder why that happens..

I'm working on an application right now that requires the ability to load and save data to the local file system. Firefox does not allow this, whereas Chrome does. The whole application runs from the local file system, so I don't think there is much of a security issue.

But I actually do is test for the existence of the function to open the save or load dialog. That way, if Firefox does implement it, Firefox will work as well.

    the ability to load and save data to the local file system

    That sounds like a huge security risk. I'm surprised any browser allows it.

    All it can do is open a dialogue to load or save a file. The action must also be initiated by the user (e.g. clicking a button). It's not randomly allowing a page to load and save on its own.
