Now I get to say, You're kidding, right? to you.
MS is trying to put themselves everywhere. Keep themselves in people's minds.
Not to mention that they are trying to compete with Google in some feature ways, first one to mind - what you're browsing on your desktop can now flow to your phone and vice versa, just like Google can do.Now that said - I don't think the public will care.

Just another spot for their browser to fail and Mac people to mock them, though.

Doesn't have to be Webkit on Mac, does it? That's only for iOS.

This is for iOS and Android, not macOS.
You trotted out the Mac people phrase incorrectly and I simply ignored that and treated your comment as "Apple users"

OH, my brain just saw it and thought Mac for some reason. Sure, iOS will work, and be pointless.

I'll have to test it out later because it currently works like shit inside Firefox on Fedora 25/26.

LastPass on Firefox haven't been working correctly for awhile. I haven't notice the same issue when using Chrome. For example, "Show Matching Sites" works correctly on Chrome but Firefox show's nothing until I started using the new beta version.

That is one of the issues I was having with it on Fedora also.

i worked around this by right clicking in the password box and clicking lastpass > autofill, etc.
This works pretty well on FF on Windows.
