    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).

    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.

    I was so very disappointed that I couldn't turn my favorite web based email program, which doesnt offer a desktop app, into a web app the way you can in MS Edge. After installing a couple of necessary support pieces .. this works like a CHARM! My Web based email now works as well as any desktop application.

    Incredible. Shame on firefox for removing this feature. It sucks to have to run it as another service, but if it's the only way for this to work, then I'll continue using it. BIG THANK YOU to the developer. You're doing amazing work.

    I installed the PWA but even if I install the deb package (OS Ubuntu 24.04 Firefox flatpak version) I cannot select the runtime installation

    Flatpak is not supported because it doesn't provide the necessary APIs yet. You can read more details here: https://pwasforfirefox.filips.si/help/faq/#why-doesnt-the-extension-find-the-native-connector-on-linux

    You will need to use normal Firefox (from Mozilla website or their DEB repository) instead.

    I do not understand why Mozilla stopped development on PWAs. This extension works really well once set up, and fills in this feature gap.

    Great Extension. This is part of my workflow now.

    I feel like this extension need to get more love from the community. Tremendous effort and work. Thank You.

    Great idea for an extension but every webapp opens in a new instance/window of FF and needs to be signed into even if you're signed in already on the main browser. This has huge potential and I'd love if someone fixed this:)

    Well, that shouldn't happen. It seems to work fine with all recent Firefox versions, including 127.0.2.

    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.

    i have both extension and firefoxpwa installed but it says unexpected error occured,does e being user of windows 7 play factor in that?

    Please check troubleshooting tasks (https://pwasforfirefox.filips.si/help/troubleshooting/) to obtain the extension and native logs and create an issue on GitHub. Also, Windows 7 is no longer supported, so you might experience issues because of that.

    Best pwas imo. Only thing that made me stop using it was that it stopped registering the .rpm file forcing me out of the manager. Wish the installation screen had a skip button in the event of this. Also it would cool to have some way to copy and paste the webapps on to different devices. Could be like Firefox sync or just some file but either way it would be a cool feature.

    What do you mean by "stopped registering the .rpm file"? Please create an issue on GitHub about that.

    Also, you can already copy and paste the webapps on to a different device. Just copy the config file and the profiles directory in the user data directory (https://pwasforfirefox.filips.si/resources/installation-directories/#user-data) to another device and run "Update web apps" from the extension settings on the target device.

    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??

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