Chrome and Edge make it simple to ‘install’ pages, so they’re easy to pin to the task bar. PWAs for Firefox gives that capability to Firefox, but it’s a bit brittle, and breaks easily if Firefox updates. It’s broken again for me tonight and the usual ‘reinstall this reinstall that’ hasn’t fixed it.

In my opinion Firefox took a significant backwards step when they killed that feature years ago.

I appreciate I might not be the target audience for Lemmy since I’m half Windows half Unix, and a Gmail / Keep / Calendar / Facebook / Messenger user.

    I fixed mine just yesterday on my W11. The stuff the addon tells you to install is out of date. You have to install the latest version from their github releases page. It fixed mine being blank white pages.

    But also, I agree. It’s a shame this all isn’t a baked in FF feature.
