+Note:
+
+While conceptually similar to the tests for Web Authentication (dom/webauthn),
+the tests for U2F require an iframe while `window.u2f` remains hidden behind a
+preference, though WebAuthn does not. The reason is that the `window` object
+doesn't mutate upon a call by SpecialPowers.setPrefEnv() the way that the
+`navigator` objects do, rather you have to load a different page with a different
+`window` object for the preference change to be honored.
