Not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand. If I am on a desktop, I'd bookmark the site.I grant you, it might just be my own workflow pattern. If you have several PWAs pinned and Microsoft updates Edge, are those PWAs affected in any way?) In my case, if I am interested in something enough to want to "pin it" to a home screen on a phone, I'm going to look and see if there is a native app or bookmark it. Is your PWA affected if you clear your cookies regularly? How do they handle 3rd-party authentification? Is there a potential security risk – like spoofing a "pin to home screen" link? Is there a central repository, archive, or list of PWAs anywhere?

It could be used to create shortcuts to launch PWAs under Firefox, and the only thing which would be missing compared to Blink browsers is that running PWAs would display Firefox's own program icon for running instances. However, it is possible to use special purpose profiles to run PWAs in their own (browser) windows with no browser UI components, the same as with browsers using Blink.Since the Ice utility in Linux is just Python scripts with a very simple GUI, should be simple to port to Windows without much difficulty. In reply to wright_is:All(?) Chromium based browsers support PWA installation, Firefox based browsers don't support this, but they can still run the PWA as a normal tab.Firefox lacks a feature to install PWAs, and lacks the ability to use any icon other than its own program icon on OS desktops.
