PWAsForFirefox
Open, NormalPublic

Description

  • PWAsForFirefox - A tool to install, manage and use Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) in Mozilla Firefox.
  • https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox/
  • I think this is worth including, because Firefox is Solus' default browser and installing website as apps is one lacking feature it has compared to other browsers. Also this addon has worked well in my experience. A reason why it shouldn't be included is it could break with new Firefox versions, but the package is actively maintained and has a decent community, so I don't think that could be a big issue.
  • MPL-2.0
  • https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox/archive/refs/tags/v1.4.0.tar.gz
  • I have a working package of it, it just needs polish.

I have been using this daily for past 1.5 years since I have created this request, and packaging it might not be as easy as I thought.
Default way is that the build downloads source from Mozilla, patches it and builds it. But that ignores all the work done on Firefox that is already in the repos. So we are building and installing Firefox twice. Not sure if this is what we want. But using it is quite good
