The scroll bar does not allow me to properly scroll down to actually create the PWA and the pop-up for the extension itself runs down the entire screen from the very bottom of the extensions taskbar icon.
I'm running this on an Asus Zephyrus M16, so a 16in screen, and zooming out on the page and trying this with the browser minimized doesn't help. I was very excited to use this extension until this roadblock, and I will happily try again should this be user error; but having skimmed the installation and user guides, I saw no mention of resizing the popup or anything of that nature.
3 Star Edit(same day): I realized something shortly after posting this, and found a workaround thanks to that. I have poor eyesight, so I have my font size generally set to 16. Putting it down to 12 fixed the issue for me, so I've raised my rating to 3 stars from 1 star. While it works this way, there should be a scaling setting to prevent such a thing from happening in the first place. What if I was unable to read at a lower font size at all? Once this is fixed, I'll very happily give this another update.Developer response

I will try to fix it. - Rated 3 out of 5by ShahabRasekh, 6 months agoI like the app and i can run it on debian, but installing on Ubuntu isn't successful yet.

- Rated 3 out of 5by pingucorn, 2 years agoCool app but it brakes profile switcher addon. Even after uninstalling it, the runtime, firefox, I cant get my other addon to work again.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Mir, 2 years agoUnfortunately after the 2.11.1 update everything stopped working. The extension is asking me to update which I did update the PWAsForFirefox app on windows but it doesn't work anymore.
When I open my apps are simply all white.Developer response
posted 2 years agoMake sure that both the extension and the native program are updated to 2.11.1, and then run "Patch profiles and runtime" from the extension settings. If you are still having issues, please comment on GitHub: https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox/issues/475 - Rated 3 out of 5by Draycun, 3 years agoThis is a great app, however, im getting this "Failed to load storage: EOF while parsing a value at line 1 column 0" message now and none of the apps i had installed on the extension are loading
