When did this error happen? If it happened when installing a PWA, please check if it works with other websites. Also, please provide the native logs.

[hollerknight]

i don't have runtime installed i think how can i do that

[filips123]

Well, opening PWAsForFirefox popup should show you the setup page if the native program and runtime are not already installed. If it didn't open for some reason, you can manually open moz-extension://c7c2a08c-f45b-440d-80c7-c96aebfc80f1/setup/install.html. Then, follow the instructions to install the native program and runtime.

i can't seem to open that for some reason

[filips123]

Oh, the extension UUID might be unique for each installation, so that URL won't work. Instead, try to go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox (copy and paste it, clicking won't work), find Progressive Web Apps for Firefox in the list, and click on the manifest URL:

Then, in that URL, replace manifest.json with setup/install.html.

Also, I've noticed that you are using Windows 7. Rust no longer supports Windows 7 in the default target, so it's possible that the native program won't work. If this is the case, you will have to download Rust (version 1.77.1, for example, this one, as newer versions don't support Windows 7), clone the repository and build it yourself. You can see the instructions here. However, Windows 7 is not tested and supported officially, so things may not work properly.

I can't install any PWA in Arch Linux.

What exactly happens? Please provide the extension and native logs.

What exactly happens? Please provide the extension and native logs.

The extension doesn't show the "Install" button when I try to install a website, it seems like the extension prompt is being cut-off. I have tried it on multiple Arch distros both the KDE and GNOME DEs so I think the issue has nothing to do with the DEs, but it's the same. It works on my Ubuntu installation though.

Do you have fractional scaling enabled? There are some issues with cut-off extension popup when it's enabled for some reason. see #230 and #503.

Also, you can try to zoom in/out in the popup by pressing Ctrl and scrolling with the scrollwheel. Maybe the button will appear...

You're right, it's because of the fractional scaling.

I think the original issue happened because Windows 7 is no longer supported, so I will close it. If it also happens on supported systems, please let me know.
