  > Browser Not Supported

On Firefox, after bypassing the ominous warnings, when I tried to create a new project and choose a directory to save the project files, I get

  > Directory picker is not supported in this browser. Please use a modern browser like Chrome or Edge.
While I appreciate the early warning, so that the user doesn't spend too much effort only to later realize that they can't save their files to disk, I don't appreciate the implicit labeling of Firefox as not being a "modern" browser.

If you're developing a web app with APIs only available in certain browsers, just say/admit so.

Remember when some sites called IE a modern browser?
