PWAs broke again. I think removing them from Firefox was a bad idea. (lemmy.world)

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.

The fact that it breaks so often might be a pointer as to why it was removed - sounds like it would be quite a maintenance burden.

However:

I guess really all I want is the option to have a task bar icon for each 'website'

Wow, sounds like he gets it - just make tabs move able to task bar.
