None of the sites where I've been using U2F works.

Some/many sites are sniffing the user agent.

And as far as I have googled, there may be a bug in Mozilla's implementation (or maybe a different interpretation of the standard) that they are currently fixing.

It's not a bug in Mozilla's implementation.

Google has a JS u2f library that relies on an implementation specific detail of Chrome's U2F impl. Lots of folks use this library.

Hm, that's not good. Is that implementation detail something Mozilla might replicate?

Not easily IIRC. Google is aware of that bug so I think we're going to just wait.
