- Rated 4 out of 5by jw, 13 days agoEvery 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? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12319602, 15 days agoGreat 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. - Rated 4 out of 5by Impromptu1300, 18 days agoI 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by ff@n , 25 days agoThis 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Deewens, a month agoWork 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)
- Rated 5 out of 5by BelFox, a month agoProfessionally build extension that brings PWAs to Firefox! Easy set-up and extensive user guide. Congrats to the developer!

- Rated 5 out of 5by CodeDead, a month agoPretty much does what a PWA is supposed to do! I hope one day this extension will not be required and Firefox will just have PWA's by itself.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Carlos Pinzón, 2 months agoThis app is very solid. The functionality that this extension provides requires a special installation method and the extension instructions make this complex process simple. Once installed, everything is very easy.
I think that the default behavior should be to reuse existing windows instead of creating new instances, though this can be configured in the browser settings within each web app.
For me this app is a must have. I have several fixed google documents per month that I open and edit very frequently every day. Having this plus a system launcher (like albert launcher) simplifies my work a lot. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18549362, 2 months agoThis AddOn is awsome! You have a lot of option when setting up a PWA and the browser settings of each PWA profile are separate from each other and from the main browser.
- Rated 5 out of 5by James, 3 months agoI installed this add-on after reading a Mozilla Developer Network article about Progressive Web Applications. I have a disdain for monopolies, so this allowed me to use a semi-officially endorsed method to install web apps via Firefox instead of using a Chromium based web browser. Perhaps someday Mozilla will decide to directly incorporate this extension as an integral component of Firefox.
All the web apps I have installed (some on Windows 11, some on Fedora, some on Debian) work as expected with no noticeable glitches. - Rated 5 out of 5by Um, 3 months ago[Fixed] [Fedora 40] Web App goes blank. Can't use as before.UI seems buggy
[How] Reinstall firefoxpwa first, then reinstall firefox from fedora rpm
