If not just Firefox, other related products. They seem to have the same issue as Google with starting and dropping strange products. I was actually considering using their password manager on iOS when they announced it would be discontinued.

Lockwise has been absorbed into Firefox now. So if you don't mind installing Firefox on iOS, you can install Firefox to get the password manager, which integrates with iOS's password autofill, even to a better extent than the old Lockwise app. The old Lockwise app tended to not respond from iOS' autofill "trigger". Firefox doesn't have this problem.

This is a bit of a "well-actually." Yes, all the functionality of Lockwise is still there, but the situation is complicated enough that not everyone is going to get it. For every person you correct on HN regarding this, there are hundreds of other people who don't visit HN, never bringing it up in a context where someone can teach them how to use Firefox as a password manager on iOS.

It's great if you know about it. But it still shake's people's confidence about the future of any new product announcements from Mozilla.

Mozilla's "Fluent" internationalization software is some of the best out there. It is a real shame that they are not doing more with it and integrating it with other tools in this space.
