Status: UNCONFIRMED

Steps to reproduce:

I am Yasuaki Blogger team at Google. Last year, we started to call requestStorageAccess() to allow signing in to the comment form when 3p cookies are blocked on the browser. As of now, we enable it for Safari and Chrome. We tested this feature also for Firefox, but it turned out that Firefox call requestStorageAccess on its own. So this feature is not necessary:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1776869

However, I found our integration is working slightly nicer as it is implemented on the web page. For example, Firefox calls requestStorageAccess when "Google Account" is clicked, and if the user selects "block" in the prompt, it doesn't navigate to the Google login page.

In our implementation, after the user signs in to Google, the comment form shows "Allow cookie" button so that the user triggers requestStorageAccess().

If there is no issue, could you consider removing requestStorageAccess() call in shims/blogger.js after we enable requestStorageAccess() for Firefox on Blogger side?
