I'm loving the new FF, my missing feature is being able to open a site as a desktop app. I use chrome to make different icons/windows/apps for gmail, hn, reddit, photos, cloud9, etc. Anyone know if there is a way to have a website shortcut open in its own window and have an icon in the taskbar?
- 0xFFC 9y agoExactly, this is the only reason why I don’t use anything other than Chrome. While I really want to switch to FF. Chrome “add to desktop” does make website almost as like a desktop app and without unnecessary tabbar and stuff. I wish firefox could do that. That being said, I don’t use any native app at all other than a terminal emulator. Just terminal + vscode + chrome.
- Yoric 9y agoFor what it's worth, Firefox used to be able to do this (with a few manipulations). At some point, that feature was killed, because apparently nobody (except me) was using it :/ It's a shame, because I would really like to be able to move my chat clients out of the Firefox UI.
- orthecreedence 9y agoI REALLY want an Electron/NWJS build on top of Firefox. I would scrap chrome altogether both for personal use and for building "desktop" apps.
