Didn't Firefox kill PWA support too.
What was Mozilla's reason behind this?
Only on the desktop. PWAs still exist on the mobile version of it.
Thank you. Wasn't sure about mobile myself.
Do they? I haven't been able to figure it how to save a shortcut for a PWA, so all the PWAs on my phone use Chrome :/
Tap the three dots on bottom left, install.
I don't see it.
If I tap "add to home screen" then it just adds a shortcut that opens the page in Firefox with all the regular browser chrome still present.
You need to be on a website that support PWA.
This is https://lemmy.world/ for example.
Reasons were basically too much maintenance for little benefit on the desktop they could see
Meanwhile, they remove GTK and Qt theming from Thunderbird
(n.b.: I actually agree that PWAs have little more benefit on the desktop than a bookmark, but still)
