That's exciting about Firefox, though I really wish that firefox would support OPFS in such a way as to allow selecting the directory where the files are located, beyond just persistence, there are some use cases where that is required (vscode.dev for example).

Unfortunately, the whole point of OPFS is to not do that. Mozilla and Apple thought it'd be bad for security to let you read/write arbitrary files/folders on the real file system, even with a permissions dialog, so a fake filesystem only viewable by an individual website was the compromise solution that everyone agreed to implement.
