Firefox Reality is launched on desktop now: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2019/01/08/mozilla-announces-deal-to-bring-firefox-reality-to-htc-vive-devices/

It would be nice to use an API that supports all headsets. Almost all games on Steam work fine with the Windows MixedReality headsets, even if the game developers do not specifically support them.

Firefox Reality is in the Microsoft Windows store, but locked to WindowsAR headsets, no WindowsMR:
