We need to exert more pressure on apple and eu to not remove PWAs. Every signature counts, please sign and share EU has already started a preliminary investigation on this http://archive.today/2024.02.26-223134/https://www.ft.com/content/d2f7328c-5851-4f16-8f8d-93f0098b6adc

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.
