Ok Google Hotword Detection Disabled While Using Firefox Android

Hi All,

When in apps, I can long-press the button on my headphones to call up google now. Unfortunately, while in firefox this is not the case. Is there a setting I should be aware of which allows google now to detect headphone button presses while in firefox, or is this a bug with the current build of firefox? The detection works fine in other apps.

Thank you, Michael

We do not have Google Now integration at this time.

It's not the google now integration I'm missing, it's that while firefox is open it prohibits my opening of google now utilizing hands free bluetooth/headset buttons. Is this what you were talking about?
