by Firefox user 18008973, 2 years agoDoesn't work on on MacOS Monterey, at least for me. Ran the terminal script, waited for that to finish, tried installing the additional software, which failed for some reason. Don't know how to undo the terminal script.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Omar, 2 days agoWhen it works, it's usually great. However, I can't get it to install anymore on my Win 11 laptop. It stays stuck on the "Connector Installation" screen. I can no longer use it and I've tried everything (removing all registry entries of firefox, uninstalling Visual C++ and reinstalling from the extension setup, uninstalls and reboots until the cows come home). This was a great failed experience. I hope it works again someday. Better yet, Mozilla...bring native PWA to Firefox! It's essential!

- Rated 2 out of 5by OCDGeek128, 10 days agoForced separate profiles from my base Firefox is a deal breaker. I have to log in twice on all my websites. Just makes everything a pain to set up, especially when I need to reinstall Firefox elsewhere.
Sigh, I really want to move on from Chrome but the way PWAs are handled there is the only thing keeping me on there. - Rated 5 out of 5by João Arthur, a month ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 19588349, 2 months 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, 4 months agoGreat, but on Gentoo I complied from source. Is it normal that I must use sudo?
Developer response
posted 4 months agoProbably yes, but I'm not very familiar with how Gentoo package installation works. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17341475, 4 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18751479, 6 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, 8 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 3 out of 5by ShahabRasekh, 8 months agoI like the app and i can run it on debian, but installing on Ubuntu isn't successful yet.
