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
There is a project on github that adds that function.
