> people need dedicated clients, instead of it working for example in browsers

"Version 9.0 [...], released on June 20, 2006" "Opera introduced [...] a built-in BitTorrent client" [1]

That's history now, of course, courtesy of today's browser monoculture.

Does Firefox have an extension to download torernts?

I know it used to have one, but that now that I'm aware of the v57+ extension issue, I notice that the one linked to first in a search seems to be dead.
