      Firefox on Desktop doesn’t support PWAs

      Apparently Firefox on Android does

        A PWA installed with Firefox on Android does not appear in the app launcher, but only on the home screen. I don’t know whether this is the fault of Firefox or Android but it’s a major flaw.

          Hmmmm. I can see how that’s not ideal and how it would bother some people.

          It really just adds a shortcut right? How hard would it be to add a second shortcut in the app launcher?

            It would need to be registered as an app, and a shortcut isn’t an app.

              Ok I understand. Well I guess it seems like there is room for improvement then.

          Partly android, but a custom launcher could solve it themselves
