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...
I got that one too. Either a way to test if users are paying attention or, or… I don’t know. Mistranslation? It was a bullshit option. Insulting, even.
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.
The german translation was absolutely strange.
Belgium, Switzerland, Austria not choosable??
“Convert Important Websites like GMail into Apps?” Why this weird example?
In some categories all were more important than the points in otger categories
One choice I got was “halving the speed of the browser”.

Me too! I have no idea what that was supposed to mean but clicked “highest priority” just for the lolz
That was a feature they removed.

Probably talking about PWAs, I imagine.
Yup
