Still 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.

It 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.

Every 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?

I 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.

Great 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).

It 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??

It'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.

It 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"

Works 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)

That 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

Changing my review... I hadn't followed the full instructions to install the extension, was more complicated than simply installing an extension but works now.

Great! 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?

It 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!

Works so far well, but has the downside, that it runs complete seperated from the desktop firefox instance. I use it do have gmail as APP icon, and window seperated next to Firefox Browser open, but it has the downside that all Links which I click get open in the PWA instance, and not get handeled by the operation system setuped default app for links. I'm sure in the future that will get solved.

Works really well, better than electron apps most of the time.

My one problem is it for some reason ignores XDG Portals on Linux meaning that KDE users are stuck with the terrible GTK file picker.

I can't use it, it always says "Failed to parse PWA manifest", am I doing anything wrong ?
