Desktop PWAs are easy as you can just create a shortcut

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nope. A PWA gives you a browser window with no menu bars and the icon of the age vs the browser. It's treated as a separate entity in your start bar for task switching.

Many of us still use Chromium for that one feature, while using Firefox for everything else.

You can do that with command line arguments

Not with FF. Well, not without massive CSS app customization and separate profiles which is not officially supported.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes you can. Try running Firefox --help

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

No, you cannot. There have been tickets open about this for ages. You are talking about opening a URL, not a PWA.

Yup. A lot of services don't offer official apps on Linux, so I rely on webpages.
