Progressive Web App support coming to Firefox

Some people like them and use them in chromium-based browsers. I like them for some websites and use a few of them in Ungoogled Chromium. Some people don’t care. And the Earth keeps circulating around the Sun (if you believe the Science).

I’ve been using WebApp Manager for years. Don’t intend on changing. Good, though the Mozilla finally got around to this.

Work great but not fan of the new search/url bar
with webapp manager:

with pwa4ff:

@GolDNenex, what search bar? WebApp Manager doesn’t have one. It has add/remove/edit/launch buttons.

There is a URL bar to place your selected URL into after clicking “add” though.

Your images don’t appear to be WebApp manager.

Because its not in webapp manager but in every “pwa” made with it. That why i added a red arrow :sweat_smile:

Not sure I know what you mean then. You said "Work great but not fan of the new search/url bar
with webapp manager." I responded that there wasn’t one. So, still… I don’t know what you’re talking about.

What is web app going to do for me?

Edit: Is this similar to app images? launched from the browser? :face_vomiting:

Because webapp-manager is responsible for the search/url bar you see on my screenshot.

I’ve made two screenshots because this clearly show that its related to WebM and not a firefox thing.

Only you can answer that. It does exactly what it says. Turns websites into apps, and they appear in your applications menu. They are treated as if they were apps. I do that for YouTube and now Reddit and BlueSky. Nice to just click an “app” and get to YouTube or wherever without have to open a browser and navigate to the site.

Ask not what your web app can do for you. Ask what you can do for your web app. :rofl:

I’ve never seen such a thing on a webapp created by WebApp manager. My YouTube app show no URL bar at all unless I hover near the top and a dropdown appears, which I like a LOT.

Then that weird because all my devices behave the same way :thinking:

I just used Rust Playground. Here’s how it works for me. Image number 1 is how it looks when I open it. Image number 2 is hovering near the top to show tab and URL bar.

Are your addons available on your PWAs when you turn a website into an app using Webapp Manager?

I don’t know. Never needed any extensions in a webapp. I know that it acts like a fresh instance/profile. Because nothing is signed into and passwords aren’t autofilled.

This is one I have for YT Music made in Ungoogled Chromium with my UBO extension. Works great.

Yeah, don’t know why on my desktop and laptop i’ve got that weird bar :confused:

@GolDNenex, have you disabled “Navigation Bar” in your webapp’s settings? It might help, I’ve never enabled it.
