App Should Have Been a Website (and Probably Your Game Too)
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.

I mean is there any movement in getting major browsers to adopt this?
Normally when a spec. like this is written that needs adoption from web browsers, an explainer is written and then the major rendering engines are asked for their feedback. For instance, here’s an explainer:
https://github.com/krgovind/first-party-sets
Here’s where WebKit was asked for their position on it:
https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/93
Here’s where Mozilla was asked for their position on it:
https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/350
Here’s the process Blink goes through to get a new feature like this going:
https://www.chromium.org/blink/launching-features/
I tried to find where this was done for GPC and couldn’t find anything. Did they just write a spec. and not bother doing any of the work involved in getting it adopted? Or is there progress being made that I didn’t see? Hence my question: Is there any movement on this at all? Or is the process of getting it adopted by Blink and WebKit at absolute zero?

Origin private file system – MDN
> kept around for as long as FireFox feels like
I've heard Firefox keep OPFS data in browser as long as there's enough space (which can be checked from JS). Safari has a stricter strategy and removes OPFS data and local storage more aggressively, for example, if a site domain hasn't been visited in 7 days.
On the File System Access API, it seems doubtful that Mozilla will ever implement it in a useful way.
> Mozilla's Position
> There's a subset of this API we're quite enthusiastic about (in particular providing a read/write API for files and directories as alternative storage endpoint), but it is wrapped together with aspects for which we do not think meaningful end user consent is possible to obtain (in particular cross-site access to the end user's local file system). Overall we consider this harmful therefore, but Mozilla could be supportive of parts, provided this were segmented better.
