Apple has released an update to its iCloud for Windows application, adding long-awaited support for autofilling passwords in the Firefox browser. This new feature allows users who store their credentials in iCloud Keychain to log into websites more easily when using Mozilla Firefox on Windows.
Until now, iCloud Passwords integration was limited to Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, leaving Firefox users without official support despite the presence of a browser extension. Although an “iCloud Passwords” add-on for Firefox had been available for some time, many users reported that it did not function reliably, making the experience inconsistent and frustrating.
With the latest update, however, this functionality has been improved significantly—at least for some users. According to reports shared on Reddit, the updated version now enables proper autofill for passwords saved in iCloud. Users can now enjoy a seamless experience similar to what Chrome and Edge users already had.

Only Compatible With Windows 11
That said, there is a notable limitation. Current feedback suggests that this new feature is only accessible on Windows 11. Users running Windows 10 have reported that they are unable to access the updated version of the iCloud app or that the new feature is not functioning as expected. It remains unclear whether this is a temporary compatibility issue or part of a broader plan by Apple to gradually phase out support for Windows 10.
Apple has not officially commented on whether the lack of compatibility with Windows 10 is intentional or temporary. This ambiguity has led to speculation among users, especially given that Microsoft will end extended support for Windows 10 in 2025.
The update itself may seem minor, but it marks an important step for cross-platform usability. Users who rely on Apple’s ecosystem but work within Windows environments—especially those using Firefox—now have better access to their stored credentials without needing to switch browsers or manage passwords manually.
