    You need to manually update the native program to 2.13.2. You can read more details in the addon description.

    In the last day, none of the PWA apps are opening. I followed the procedure recommended in the recent report here in the reviews, I installed the firefoxpwa-2.12.1-x86_64 version because I couldn't find the native installer that was mentioned on github, but it still didn't work.

    I believe this happened after this last update of Firefox (131.0 (64-bits)).

    also Win11

    Yes, it's related to Firefox 131 and has only been fixed in PWAsForFirefox 2.12.5.

    I can't link it directly because URLs are not allowed here, but if you go to the GitHub repository, you should see PWAsForFirefox 2.12.5 on the right side under the releases section. Then, open the release and you should be able to download firefoxpwa-2.12.5-x86_64.msi under the assets section.

    Didn't work. I only get blank windows for all apps I installed. (Win11).

    Update- Even after downloading the "firefoxpwa-2.12.5-x86_64.msi" I couldn't get it to work. I tried removing the extention and fresh installing, but no luck.

    Please download the native program v2.12.5 from GitHub releases in the repository (specifically,
    firefoxpwa-2.12.5-x86_64.msi).

    Update: If you still have problems after updating to 2.12.5, make sure that the native version mentioned in the extension settings (About the project) is also 2.12.5. If it's not, uninstall the native program from the system settings and try again. You can also try to run "Patch profiles and runtime" from the extension settings.

    Hasn't worked in a long time. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, completely resetting, still constant issues that makes it not worth it. I still don't understand why this is even needed. All I want is the exact same functionality that used to exist and doesn't no reasons like reasons. All I want is the Google Messages icon pinned to my taskbar so I can text from my computer without finding the tab it's on. This should not be that difficult.

    I would steer clear of this extension. It totally screwed my entire system. It took me hours to get it back to normal.

    That doesn't really make sense. If you have problems, please create an issue on GitHub.

    No funciona. Seguí todo paso a paso cuidadosamente y se queda en el paso 2. Hasta reinicie el computador y no funciona. La extensión solo se limita a decir "An unexpected error occurred". Lastima por que se veìa prometedora la extension. Tengo Ubuntu 23.

    If that doesn't fix the issue, please create an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox/issues

    Doesn'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.

    Setup does not work on Ubuntu. It stays forever at Connector Installation although the needed package is correctly installed and there is no way to continue further to Runtime Installation.

    I'm removing the extension for now. Will update this rating if a solution is found.

    Firefox 110.0 / Ubuntu 22.04LTS

    Esta extensión lleva meses sin actualizarse para ser compatible con las versiones más recientes de Firefox, al menos en mi instalación de Flatpak de este navegador.

    Es lamentable, porque parece que es el único complemento que existe para permitir la instalación de sitios web como aplicaciones web progresivas en este catálogo. Recomiendo esperar a ver si se actualiza de nuevo o a que surja un competidor.

    I released an update that fixes compatibility with Firefox 101.0 yesterday, but it hasn't been approved by Mozilla yet. Until it's approved, you will have to manually download the native program from GitHub: https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox/releases/tag/v1.4.2

    Flatpak (and Snap) currently cannot work because of sandboxing limitations (and the same is true for any extension that uses native messaging API). This cannot be fixed until native messaging is supported by Flatpak and Firefox. You will have to use normal Firefox.

    Manuelle Installation irgendwelcher unerkennbarer Programmelemente

    Otra de "las grandes joyas" que no sirven de nada, te hace instalar un monton de programas y no llega a funcionar.
  • by Fitsoldecot3000, 3 years ago
    No me sirve la extension, no me deja avanzar mas allá de la instalación del runtime (eso iniciando la extensión). Me marca: "Failed to extract the runtime". Es una pena porque Firefox es lo que más uso

    Please check troubleshooting steps in the repository wiki (https://github.com/filips123/FirefoxPWA/wiki/Troubleshooting), obtain logs and create a new issue on GitHub.

    Muito limitado. Não são todos os sites que pode ser ajustados para PWA, nesse caso o Chrome ou Edge devem ser utilizados para isso. Aqui no Firefox precisa melhorar!!

    Support for installing arbitrary websites has been added in 0.4.0. This extension now supports basically any website that Chrome and Edge do.

    The address bar button still won't appear for such sites (but it also doesn't in Chrome and Edge), but you can install them from the main extension widget/button.
