by Luciano Sencovici, 4 years agoMuito limitado. Não são todos os sites que pode ser ajustados para PWA, nesse caso o Chrome ou Edge devem ser utilizados para isso. Aqui no Firefox precisa melhorar!!
Developer response
posted 4 years agoSupport for installing arbitrary websites has been added in 0.4.0. This extension now supports basically any website that Chrome and Edge do.
The address bar button still won't appear for such sites (but it also doesn't in Chrome and Edge), but you can install them from the main extension widget/button.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 19588349, 23 days ago1 Star Review 11/21/2025:The UI/UX of this extension seems bugged as of November 11th, 2025. The scroll bar does not allow me to properly scroll down to actually create the PWA and the pop-up for the extension itself runs down the entire screen from the very bottom of the extensions taskbar icon.
I'm running this on an Asus Zephyrus M16, so a 16in screen, and zooming out on the page and trying this with the browser minimized doesn't help. I was very excited to use this extension until this roadblock, and I will happily try again should this be user error; but having skimmed the installation and user guides, I saw no mention of resizing the popup or anything of that nature.
3 Star Edit(same day): I realized something shortly after posting this, and found a workaround thanks to that. I have poor eyesight, so I have my font size generally set to 16. Putting it down to 12 fixed the issue for me, so I've raised my rating to 3 stars from 1 star. While it works this way, there should be a scaling setting to prevent such a thing from happening in the first place. What if I was unable to read at a lower font size at all? Once this is fixed, I'll very happily give this another update.Developer response

- Rated 4 out of 5by Lo zar, 3 months agoGreat, but on Gentoo I complied from source. Is it normal that I must use sudo?
Developer response
posted 2 months agoProbably yes, but I'm not very familiar with how Gentoo package installation works. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17341475, 3 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18751479, 4 months agoHonestly thing thing is fantastic. FF probably will never bring native PWA back to FF. Zen is also a ways out, but this extension is near flawless. Use it every day. It is well executed, reliable, and makes my life better. Thank you!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Pxtl, 7 months agoStill works well but the latest update degraded functionality a bit. Icons often have to be manually added to the PWA, and the Windows OS can no longer store persistent links to the PWA in the taskbar - "pin to taskbar" results in a link that gets invalidated every time FF starts. IIRC that feature used to work.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13751407, 7 months agoWorking great! I can use multiple profiles to access the same website with alternative accounts, and I can sync all my Firefox apps to access there as well (uBlock and Bitwarden 🙏🏻).

- Rated 5 out of 5by Alex Trujillo, 7 months agoThis is great! It works much better than I expected.
I couldn't get the extension to work in Firefox installed via Snap on Ubuntu, but that doesn’t bother me at all.
Thank you! - Rated 5 out of 5by lidi_a, 7 months ago
