Would be nice. Even with the experimental settings turned on in about:config, I could only read input from my Yubikey, I couldn't add one. I had to install Chromium just so I could add my Yubikey to my Google account.

This is mentioned as a side note in the first comment of the Firefox issue: they were explicitly whitelisting the “Sign” operation so that registration didn’t work.

I think this is because of Google - they only allow registration via Chrome (to the best of my knowledge). But then you should be able to use your key from Firefox.

if you are on linux and using the flatpak version of firefox it could be because of sandboxing and USB read permissions.
