- Rated 5 out of 5by サーバント, 3 years agoHaving issues updating the deb package(connector) after install. How can this be resolved? To be clear I am unable to proceed to the next step.
Error code after sudo apt update: ..."Failed to fetch https://packagecloud.io/filips/FirefoxPWA/any/dists/any/InRelease 429 Too Many Requests [IP: my IP address]"Developer response
posted 3 years agoI think this happened because a bandwidth limit for my packacecloud.io account has been exceeded.
Please try to manually download and install DEB file/package for connector instead of using packagecloud.io repository. And if you want to remove the error when running apt update, you can remove packageclud.io repository by deleting "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/firefoxpwa.list". - Rated 5 out of 5by JuanM29, 3 years agoThe update made it work perfectly, the extension is great and brings amazing functionality, good job <3

posted 3 years agoThis happened because download URL for 32-bit Firefox has changed. I recommend you use 64-bit version if you can, otherwise, I will release a new version with a fix soon.
Edit: This should be fixed in 1.1.1 which I just released. However, It may take a few hours before this version is available on Firefox Add-ons Store and package managers. - Rated 4 out of 5by Squeaky Pancakes, 3 years agoWorks really well, better than electron apps most of the time.
My one problem is it for some reason ignores XDG Portals on Linux meaning that KDE users are stuck with the terrible GTK file picker.Developer response
posted 3 years agoYou can enable XDG portals by setting `widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal` to `true` in `about:config` inside PWA profile (you can open `about:config` by pressing F6 and then typing it into the popup).
It seems Firefox by default never uses XDG portals, but distros with KDE instead set some environment variable (`GTK_USE_PORTAL=1`) that makes Firefox use portals. However, because FirefoxPWA launches the default Mozilla-provided Firefox without setting any additional environment variables, Firefox won't use portals unless you manually enable them in `about:config`. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ampere, 3 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13433096, 3 years agoOtra de "las grandes joyas" que no sirven de nada, te hace instalar un monton de programas y no llega a funcionar.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Fitsoldecot3000, 3 years agoNo me sirve la extension, no me deja avanzar mas allá de la instalación del runtime (eso iniciando la extensión). Me marca: "Failed to extract the runtime". Es una pena porque Firefox es lo que más uso

- Rated 5 out of 5by charlesroper, 3 years agoPWAs in Firefox! At last!
This is an amazingly ingenious and polished solution to the tragic omission of native PWA support in Firefox.
As an organisation so dedicated to the open web, I simply cannot fathom why Firefox does not include this out of the box. I was having to resort to Chromium Edge before I found this, but this not only allows me to use my preferred browser, it also does a better job of exposing extensions I want to use with my PWAs.
There are a few rough edged (such as opening links to a new window closes the PWA window - ouch!). But a brilliant extension nonetheless that ushers in a whole new era of web apps. Wonderful stuff. - Rated 5 out of 5by wchouser3, 3 years agoLove it! I can get rid of Chromium now. It works, and gives back a much needed function.
