The reason why FireGPG no longer ships with tails is that the DOM of a web app is not a safe place for plaintext https://tails.boum.org/doc/encryption_and_privacy/FireGPG_susceptible_to_devastating_attacks/ Any architecture where plaintext is stored inside a web app's DOM is dangerous.

I'm not finding a lot of information since the end of ~last year~ on the status of OpenPGP.js checks. Perhaps an inquiry on their mailing list is in order - I didn't see archives. I would guess Mailvelope uses whatever keystore options OpenPGP.js offers which as of now (as near as I can tell) doesn

I would claim that the expected behaviour would be to use any available keystore by default, or alternatively (if none is found) to install its own in a "default" location. On *nix, this is usually ~/.gnupg, and if GPG4Win is "widely" used on windows, I would expect one such keystore to be impleme

"1. Mailvelope appears to use its own keystore (at least on Windows), and not the GPG keystore. Specifically, it doesn't use the GPG4Win keystore, which is the one I'd expect it to use." In some ways this is great: it means novice users don't have to worry about getting GPG4Win or any other
