- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 19040204, 6 dagen lynEverything is good but please please please add VERTICAL TABS option, yes it is strange for using tabs in a PWA, but i use this feature, but i don't want horizontal tabs, when i choose vertical tabs option, it works during that session but when i reopen that app again it overwrites that vertical tabs setting to horizontal. please fix it
- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch User, 8 dagen lyn我在Windows11上可以安装成功,但是在MacOS15上会卡在“brew install firefoxpwa”步骤(我已经成功安装firefoxpwa,并且我已经手动安装“firefoxpwa runtime install”)。我重启系统、重启Firefox、重新安装浏览器插件都不行。

- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Lo zar, 8 moannen lynGreat, but on Gentoo I complied from source. Is it normal that I must use sudo?

8 moannen lyn pleatstProbably yes, but I'm not very familiar with how Gentoo package installation works. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Pxtl, ien jier lynStill 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.

- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch KSH, ien jier lynIt seems to work well but the update process is constant, and the extension itself does not seem to recognize if and when it needs updating.
Further it is unclear (from the user perspective) *WHAT EXACTLY* needs updating. There's the standalone install (what is that called?) -vs- the stuff that gets installed in the Firefox folder... and is there more? I've updated the standalone install but it still complains it needs to be updated - well OK then do it, I am not sure what else I am supposed to do?
As far as I can tell I am up to date - 2.14.1 [application installed in C:\Program Files (x86)], and extension is still at 2.13.3 on this very page, but the extension is complaining I still need to update. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch jw, ien jier lynEvery once in a while, newly pinned extension is not showing in the title bar. it does show in the toolbar, which is hidden.
to make it worse, it is also hidden in customization page, so it's impossible to move it in any way. also, because it weirdly requires long press to show the extensions, it's then impossible to trigger on the touchscreen.
closing all the instances will help, but, why not show the the address bar along with the toolbar in the customization page? - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Impromptu1300, ien jier lynI only wish it was made simpler.
Compare with Apple's web apps, which strike the best balance between reasonable customization and simplicity (i.e. I don't need any of the profile configurations and what not, I just want a working app that will work always; that will adjust to my system and blend in nicely with it, from showing the right (shape of the) icon to behavior).
Right now some web apps, after being closed, don't work. I have to relaunch them. And not all pages can be made to web apps. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Emre Akar, 2 jierren lyn
- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch xalente, 2 jierren lynGreat extension. Though, weird issue happens to me when I pin them to the taskbar (Windows 11), it reverts to the Firefox icon. Also, it would be great in the future if we could add the web apps to the Windows Start Menu.
Edit to answer the reply: Yes, the behavior (reverting to the Firefox icon when pinned to the taskbar) happens with all the web apps (I created 10).Antwurd ûntwikkeler
2 jierren lyn pleatstDoes it happen with all PWAs or just specific ones? If it's just some, it might be because they're using SVG icons, which aren't fully supported currently. That will be fixed in the future. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Wynte, 2 jierren lyn

- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 6909674, 2 jierren lynIt works for me on Linux, unfortunately it doesn't on Mac M1, I can't make it work, even though the installation of the necessary packages is successful. Anyone here help me??

2 jierren lyn pleatstHave you linked the manifest as described in the installation instructions? Also, please create a discussion on GitHub: https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox/discussions - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Jake Hall, 2 jierren lynIt's a little finicky out of the box on Zorin OS, which defaults to flatpak Firefox. But I found I could switch to the snap version and have success installing the additional components necessary. I've also noticed I often need to launch PWAs twice, the first time they close immediately and the second launch they perform fine. I like being able to control whether the PWA uses it's own or a shared profile. I've found the shared profile useful for using Office365 apps like Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams which I need for work, but isolated profiles are great most of the time.

- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch jpxsat, 2 jierren lynIt does what it says! THANK YOUU!!! It asks for a lot of things when you install it, but then all ok -- only 4 stars because I personally prefer to "detach" the tabs, instead of going all over everything everytime... case: having my social media profile running, my firefox has all the extensions that I need/want, and I install the social media as a PWA... but then I have to do all over again as in the PWA there's a new profile, so no session, no extensions, nothing... I think this is the intention, but would be nice to have an option "use the base firefox profile instead of a new one"
Antwurd ûntwikkeler
2 jierren lyn pleatstYou can use a profile template feature (https://pwasforfirefox.filips.si/user-guide/extension/#default-profile-template) to configure extensions and settings once in a template and then automatically copy the template to new profiles. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Agustín Arguedas, 3 jierren lynWorks pretty good; however, in Mac OS, I usually use Alfred and/or Spotlight search to navigate through the system.
Generally what I would expect is that if an app is already running, I can use spotlight or Alfred to take me to that running instance right away. That way I can rapidly navigate through the UI. However, with this extension, when I look for the name of my installed app and hit enter, if there's an instance running already, it doesn't care and creates a second instance, which completely breaks my navigation. Small thing, but it would be cool if it could be patched (other apps in system don't create another instance unless we explicitly tell them so, so it would be nice if this could be the case for this SSB solution as well)Antwurd ûntwikkeler
3 jierren lyn pleatstYou can enable this behaviour by setting "When launching a web app that is already opened" to "Focus the existing window" in the app browser settings. If you have problems, please let me know on GitHub. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch David Vales, 3 jierren lynThat add-on is amazing, i really like it, but, the sessions synced log off on installed apps, for example, my icloud session is on in firefox tab, but in the pwa is logged out.
and the firefox sync service is apart for the runtime - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Jason, 3 jierren lynChanging my review... I hadn't followed the full instructions to install the extension, was more complicated than simply installing an extension but works now.

- Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 14157522, 3 jierren lynGreat! is it possible to make the PWA startup on boot? like on Edge PWA, you can have your PWA start up automatically at login.
EDIT: Nevermind! You can just copy the shortcut that PWA creates into your startup folder.
Idea: I use this to create an AirMessage window to view iPhone texts. If I open a link in a message, it tries to open in the PWA app. Would it be possible to make links open up in my main FF installation?Antwurd ûntwikkeler
3 jierren lyn pleatstYou can enable "open out-of-scope URLs in default browser" in the PWA settings to open message links in the main Firefox. You will also have to add "accounts.google.com" to the "Domains always allowed to be opened in the PWA browser" field. - Wurdearring: 4 fan 5troch Myrddin R Emrys, 4 jierren lynIt has worked great to allow me to use Firefox to create a better-running NightRide.fm app than the chrome-based one otherwise available.
Thanks!
