firefox-webserial Bluetooth device compatibility

Hello, I attempted to use this extension with my Nothing ear(a) Bluetooth headset, but the device was not detected.

Could you clarify if this extension supports Bluetooth devices, or is it limited to USB devices only? If Bluetooth devices are not currently supported, what would be required to add Bluetooth compatibility?

Test Environment: OS: Arch Linux Kernel: 6.12.1-zen1-1-zen Firefox 131.0.3

Chrome: Screenshot_20241203_195932-1

Firefox with extension: Screenshot_20241203_195613_firefox

Thank you for your help!

Have you tried that ttyACM0? Bluetooth devices (and virtual ports) usually appear under ttyACM*.

I tried it and got permission denied error from polyfill

Make sure you're actually allowed to access this device. Your Linux user should be part of the dialout group (check with id command). Also check the group name of the device with ls -l /dev/ttyACM0. Make sure to logout/reboot your PC after adding yourself to the group.

Adding the user to the dialout group half solved my problem. Currently I'm getting prompted with a lot of devices. I tried it on Ubuntu as well and got similar results:

(It would be helpful to display some other information related to the devices)

I will try this later on Windows as well

EDIT: on windows i get the port selection, but the device is not shown
