    It works but the main functionality I want is the ability to pin an app to my taskbar at the bottom of my screen so I don't even have to open firefox to open the web app, the fact that this cannot be done completely defeats the purpose of this extension to me. the web app just opens as a separate firefox window and not really as a separate app like on google chrome

    Totally fair. Also you can't resize the window on windows! Oof. I normally use this extension on Linux where it works for my purposes.

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pwas-for-firefox/ might work for you, but requires an external program to manage separate user profiles and/or firefox installations.

    I think the best hope is for official support, which looks like it might be coming soon... see https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/how-can-firefox-create-the-best-support-for-web-apps-on-the/m-p/85327/highlight/true#M32616

    I love this app. I hope it was a bit more user friendly. It's hidden under extension icon tab. I wish the window that pop up was not so large and I could specify the window size. I also wish I could create a desktop icon for the website I use always. Right now I have to click on extension icon, then go to the tab of the website app I want to launch, then click on the Web App Maker. So 3 clicks to get to the app. I wish I had a desktop icon for particular app or have a bookmark in a tool bar for the site I always use and it just pops up, that would be great.

    If you copy the link ("copy web app link
    ") you can make a desktop shortcut for the page to open. That's how I primarily use it. The other shortcomings are annoying but I don't think anything can be done about it. It would be nice if Firefox supported this stuff natively.
