PWAs broke again. I think removing them from Firefox was a bad idea. - eviltoast

Chrome and Edge make it simple to ‘install’ pages, so they’re easy to pin to the task bar. PWAs for Firefox gives that capability to Firefox, but it’s a bit brittle, and breaks easily if Firefox updates. It’s broken again for me tonight and the usual ‘reinstall this reinstall that’ hasn’t fixed it.

In my opinion Firefox took a significant backwards step when they killed that feature years ago.

I appreciate I might not be the target audience for Lemmy since I’m half Windows half Unix, and a Gmail / Keep / Calendar / Facebook / Messenger user.

    What is impossible to get right about it, and why doesn’t Chrome have this issue? I’ve been out of the loop for the removal of PWAs from Firefox, but I didn’t see an issue beforehand, and do miss not being able to have a web app look like a normal app on my desktop.
