PWA Firefox Android Nightly : Install / Add To Desktop
103.0a1 (Build #2015886027)
Is there a way to force websites to install to open as a standalone Firefox instance rather than just a shortcut to open as a new tab? Facebook.com seems to be add to desktop as a link whereas Instagram.com seems to be installable more like a progressive web app

Hi
There are two ways that I am aware of to do this:-
- Add the shortcut while the page is loading
- Add the shortcut while your device is not connected to the web.
In both cases you should see the site added as a link rather than as a PWA.
I hope that this helps.

Thank you, the pages I'm referring to I believe are the other way around. They allow me to add a shortcut to them but when I click it another tab gets added to Firefox. I would like to be able to click on a facebook.com icon that opens by itself like I can with Instagram.com
Hi
If the site is not designed to be opened as a PWA, it will not be possible to open it as a PWA.
