来自 Ded10c,1 年前When I finally got sick enough of Edge to migrate my work PC to Firefox, being able to use Power Platform apps as PWAs instead of having them fill my browser with tabs was the one of the two things I missed. Between this and Sidebery, both features are covered to such an extent that going back to what I was missing now would be a significant step down.
Privacy was one of the main reasons I moved to Firefox, and I expected PWAs to be a necessary sacrifice in the name of effective isolation, but this extension supports all my existing extensions too: I'm able to supplement each app with uBlock, JShelter, LocalCDN, and whatever other site-specific extensions I might want to. PWAs run completely isolated from the main browser in their own shared instance of Firefox, and each can be set to launch on a specified profile - meaning I no longer need to think about Meta's cross site tracking seeing anything outside the profile I've set up to sandbox my Messenger PWA away from my Google Drive or Microsoft Office ones.
The PWAs are reliable and lightweight, and in my experience much better at handling their boundaries than their mainstream cousins - I've not had one kick me back to my main browser when I try to open a document yet, and they've had every opportunity.
PWAs for Firefox does have a more involved installation experience than most extensions and it can be a little bit finicky if you're working in a deployed environment - this is unfortunately by necessity, and I imagine most of the target audience are likely to be the sort of power user who has few qualms manually unpacking a Firefox installer. This is also the only thing I've encountered that even comes close to being a downside.
This took less than three hours to become an essential extension for me, and it's heartily recommended to anyone who prefers their convenience to come without a helping of tracking on the side.

- 评分 4 / 5来自 KSH,1 小时前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. - 评分 5 / 5来自 paulcalebfarmer,3 天前

- 评分 5 / 5来自 Tiago Ya'aqub,1 个月前For those who are laymen like me in these matters, the GitHub website is not very intuitive, if you use Windows 11 64, please select and download the file named "firefoxpwa-2.13.2-x86_64.msi" and install it normally on your Windows. The developer fails to provide precise guidance for those who don't know exactly how everything works, as these people don't know which extension they should download, but their work is to be congratulated, this PWA tool is excellent..

发布于 1 个月前You need to manually update the native program to 2.13.2. You can read more details in the addon description.
The new extension version has now been released, so you can simply update the extension and follow the instructions in the popup. - 评分 5 / 5来自 Eric,1 个月前

- 评分 5 / 5来自 treesap,1 个月前Great stuff. Just wanted to leave this note in case current users come here after theirs breaks: The native program has to be manually updated to support the latest Firefox. Go to github - filips123/PWAsForFirefox/issues/611

- 评分 4 / 5来自 jw,2 个月前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? - 评分 5 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 12319602,2 个月前Great add on and works perfectly fine for me.
I would appreciate if the PWA can safe login cookies, so that I don't have to type my password every time I start the app. - 评分 4 / 5来自 Impromptu1300,2 个月前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. - 评分 5 / 5来自 ff@n ,3 个月前This is an impressive addon. This functionality is present in chromium/chrome based browsers but sadly lacking in Firefox. Working well so far on Windows 10.

- 评分 5 / 5来自 Deewens,3 个月前Work really well, even better than on Chrome, because you can customize a bit the PWA (like adding tabs for example, works really well to replace electron app on Linux)
