Have you tried the old "Unifying Software"? https://support.logi.com/hc/hu/articles/360025297913 Maybe try the Bolt app: https://support.logi.com/hc/hu/articles/4418089333655
Edit: the FAQ says you should be able to add devices with the Logi Options+ app: https://support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500007354982-How-to-connect-a-Bolt-device Have you tried that?
Last time I dealt with this I had to download that one to add/remove devices. It was always a separate app for some reason, maybe they just moved it to the browser?
Also about the firefox notice: I think in this case it's not fully Logitech's fault, it's not the classic lazy developers, you cannot workaround it with user agent switcher: Firefox doesn't support the WebUSB api, considering it's an usb device it should need this api: https://caniuse.com/webusb The supported browsers are same as the ones supporting WebUSB.
That's another thing that firefox deliberately doesn't support this api for security and privacy reasons: https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/#webusb
The next question is why they developed this app as a webapp? It doesn't make any sense. If you don't have internet you cannot setup your keyboard? There are still a lot of situations when people have to use their computers without internet, this just plain stupid. But I've seen a lot of stupid things from logitech, even though I love their hardware, typing this from my K750 solar keyboard.
