Hi! Hope I’m in the right place…

I’d like to know if Firefox for Android currently supports the Web Share API ([documented here](https://github.com/w3c/web-share-target)). The question is because I have a PWA that I’d like to function as a sharing target from other apps. For example, you could share a text from a IM App thought the native device sharing pop-up. From what I saw from a fell blog posts ([here](https://chodounsky.com/2019/03/24/progressive-web-application-as-a-share-option-in-android/) and [here](https://web.dev/web-share-target/)) The Web Share API is the way to go, providing exactly what I need. I went to try out some PoCs and demos, and I could only get them to work with Chrome. Does anybody here know if Firefox supports this API for this purpose I’m looking for?

Here a some demos that I tried:
