Firefox PWA #99

Closed roughnecks closed 1 month ago

roughnecks commented 9 months ago

Hello,

can you add a proper PWA for Firefox Mobile? At the moment I can only add a shortcut to the homepage.

Thanks

Hi again,

I already noticed that, but to be honest, I have no idea why it's not working. There should be no difference between browsers when it comes to installing PWAs. Yet it works with at least all chromium based browsers on mobile and desktop, but not with Firefox.

yeah, I don't know either but thanks for looking into it. Also feel free to close this issue if you think nothing else can be done.

Thanks

Discontinued, imho not a bug: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_web_app#Browser_support

tl;dr: It seems you're forced to use anything but Firefox 😐

I didn't expect that, but unfortunately that explains it.
