- 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? - 评分 4 / 5来自 Impromptu1300, 4 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. - 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).开发者回应
发布于 7 个月前Does 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. - 评分 4 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 6909674, 1 年前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??

发布于 1 年前Have you linked the manifest as described in the installation instructions? Also, please create a discussion on GitHub: https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox/discussions - 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"

发布于 1 年前You 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. - 评分 4 / 5来自 Agustín Arguedas, 2 年前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)开发者回应
发布于 2 年前You 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. - 评分 4 / 5来自 David Vales, 2 年前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 - 评分 4 / 5来自 Firefox 用户 14157522, 2 年前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?开发者回应
发布于 2 年前You 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. - 评分 4 / 5来自 Myrddin R Emrys, 3 年前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! - 评分 4 / 5来自 tobias hochguertel, 3 年前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.

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.开发者回应
发布于 3 年前You can enable XDG portals by setting `widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal` to `true` in `about:config` inside PWA profile (you can open `about:config` by pressing F6 and then typing it into the popup).
It seems Firefox by default never uses XDG portals, but distros with KDE instead set some environment variable (`GTK_USE_PORTAL=1`) that makes Firefox use portals. However, because FirefoxPWA launches the default Mozilla-provided Firefox without setting any additional environment variables, Firefox won't use portals unless you manually enable them in `about:config`. - 评分 4 / 5来自 maxens_wlfr, 4 年前I can't use it, it always says "Failed to parse PWA manifest", am I doing anything wrong ?

发布于 4 年前Does it happen on all websites or just one? If just one, maybe the website is broken. Try to uncheck "Use the manifest for determining app properties" when installing it. If it happens on all websites, please open an issue on GitHub.
