Firefox 151 (released 2026-05-19) ships Web Serial enabled by default on desktop, so the editor's connection prompt should no longer tell users that Web Serial is Chromium-only. Updates the modal copy so users on Firefox 151+ know they're on a supported browser, while keeping the existing chrome://flags hint for the older Chrome 78-89 window.

Summary
Firefox 151 (released 2026-05-19) added support for the Web Serial API on desktop, enabled by default. The editor's "Web Serial not available!" modal still tells users that Web Serial is Chromium-only, which is now out of date.
This PR updates the modal copy in

Tested on Firefox 150 (correctly shows the message) and Firefox 151 (skips the message and proceeds to the port-selection step), so the underlying'serial' in navigatorfeature-detection injs/workflows/usb.jsalready does the right thing — only the user-facing copy needed updating.Changes
