- Rated 5 out of 5by DK, 6 months agoIncredible. Shame on firefox for removing this feature. It sucks to have to run it as another service, but if it's the only way for this to work, then I'll continue using it. BIG THANK YOU to the developer. You're doing amazing work.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18562428, 6 months agoHasn't worked in a long time. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, completely resetting, still constant issues that makes it not worth it. I still don't understand why this is even needed. All I want is the exact same functionality that used to exist and doesn't no reasons like reasons. All I want is the Google Messages icon pinned to my taskbar so I can text from my computer without finding the tab it's on. This should not be that difficult.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Daniele, 6 months agoI installed the PWA but even if I install the deb package (OS Ubuntu 24.04 Firefox flatpak version) I cannot select the runtime installation
Developer response
posted 6 months agoFlatpak is not supported because it doesn't provide the necessary APIs yet. You can read more details here: https://pwasforfirefox.filips.si/help/faq/#why-doesnt-the-extension-find-the-native-connector-on-linux
You will need to use normal Firefox (from Mozilla website or their DEB repository) instead. - Rated 5 out of 5by slucas, 6 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Glen, 6 months agoI do not understand why Mozilla stopped development on PWAs. This extension works really well once set up, and fills in this feature gap.

posted 8 months agoWell, that shouldn't happen. It seems to work fine with all recent Firefox versions, including 127.0.2.- Rated 1 out of 5by A. TV, 8 months agoI would steer clear of this extension. It totally screwed my entire system. It took me hours to get it back to normal.
Developer response
posted 8 months agoThat doesn't really make sense. If you have problems, please create an issue on GitHub. - Rated 2 out of 5by MysticSoft, 8 months agoi have both extension and firefoxpwa installed but it says unexpected error occured,does e being user of windows 7 play factor in that?
Developer response
posted 8 months agoPlease check troubleshooting tasks (https://pwasforfirefox.filips.si/help/troubleshooting/) to obtain the extension and native logs and create an issue on GitHub. Also, Windows 7 is no longer supported, so you might experience issues because of that. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18439079, 9 months ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by SeaMonkey45, 9 months agoBest pwas imo. Only thing that made me stop using it was that it stopped registering the .rpm file forcing me out of the manager. Wish the installation screen had a skip button in the event of this. Also it would cool to have some way to copy and paste the webapps on to different devices. Could be like Firefox sync or just some file but either way it would be a cool feature.
Developer response
posted 9 months agoWhat do you mean by "stopped registering the .rpm file"? Please create an issue on GitHub about that.
Also, you can already copy and paste the webapps on to a different device. Just copy the config file and the profiles directory in the user data directory (https://pwasforfirefox.filips.si/resources/installation-directories/#user-data) to another device and run "Update web apps" from the extension settings on the target device. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 6909674, 9 months agoIt works for me on Linux, unfortunately it doesn't on Mac M1, I can't make it work, even though the installation of the necessary packages is successful. Anyone here help me??

posted 9 months agoHave you linked the manifest as described in the installation instructions? Also, please create a discussion on GitHub: https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox/discussions - Rated 4 out of 5by Jake Hall, 10 months agoIt's a little finicky out of the box on Zorin OS, which defaults to flatpak Firefox. But I found I could switch to the snap version and have success installing the additional components necessary. I've also noticed I often need to launch PWAs twice, the first time they close immediately and the second launch they perform fine. I like being able to control whether the PWA uses it's own or a shared profile. I've found the shared profile useful for using Office365 apps like Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams which I need for work, but isolated profiles are great most of the time.
