Hello Mozilla Connect Community, I’m Chance York, a User Researcher on the Firefox User Research team. I’m reaching out because our team has created a survey to gather opinions on a handful of browser features, some of which were suggested previously on Mozilla Connect. Your feedback on this survey...
Some WebApps are only available as websites and don’t have a native counterpart.
I’d personally like this feature to come back so I can use those WebApps without having to have other browser-things clutter the UI (like multiple tabs, url bar, etc.) and aren’t needed when you only want to open one webapp.
Yes I know about PWAs and I am a big supporter. I even experimented with some userchrome.css to emulate a webapp experience, tried the older extension and webapp manager, and the newer “Quick Webapps” by elevenhsoft, and the experience is not really nice.
Used Element web as a Chromium webapp and while not perfect (for example no way to open links with the OS default browser) it is really good.
I just found it odd for Firefox to use GMail as an example, as people using GMail would probably also use Chrome.
That was a feature they removed.
