I haven't updated the patches for anything later than 128ESR yet but it's possible it may apply directly to more recent versions.

Ah, sweet! With the patches I can go into about:config and enable wasm and baseline_jit and now my password manager works! That's honestly a big quality of life increase, lol.

I just chalked it up to my user.js template disabling WASM.

Although it may be possible to use some sort of Wasm interpreter or polyfill, obviously the best solution is to get the actual JIT working, of course. Otherwise, yes, there is no Wasm if there is no JIT.

Borley:
WebAssembly is increasingly being used by online check-outs. This is starting to become a usability issue for me, as I find myself falling back to spare x86 machines to do things like making online purchases.

ClassicHasClass:
Which checkouts did you run into this on?

Unfortunately, since I'm pretty much a permanent remote worker for the foreseeable future, I'm only on my desktop a few days a month now, so I've been concentrating on what I can do at distance and maintaining a browser isn't one of those things. I will be keeping the patches up for the next ESR but Wasm still doesn't work and it really needs someone else's eyes on it to see what I can't. I'm considering starting from scratch but again it's a time issue.

Chromium's Wasm support does seem OK now, if you can stomach that for the sites you need to use it on.
