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.

If you do this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/create-desktop-shortcut-website
...and then edit the created shortcut to add "--new-window" as argument, does that work?

Maybe you can even drag the shortcut onto the Windows Taskbar...?
