Hi, just got a MacBook air m2 running latest stable Ventura. Safari has no trouble autofilling passwords from keychain, but there's no autofill in desktop apps. I thought macos had universal keychain autofill. Or did I remember this wrong?

As far as I know, the universal password manager of macOS does not work in Firefox.

Apple is releasing a new feature that firefox could implement to access the keychain (the tech behind macOS password manager) but it would require effort by the developers of Firefox.
