Add a deep link shortcut to my Android home screen when "Add to home screen" menu item is missing

I want to add a shortcut to my Android home screen which deep links to a page within a site I use. However, the "Add to home screen" menu item I'm accustomed to using for this is missing.

It turns out that if the website in question is configured to be used as a "progressive web app", then "Add to home screen" is replaced by an "Install" menu item. For my situation, this is unhelpful, because the resulting home screen icon only links to the website's home page, not to the carefully selected URL that I want to deep link to.

SOLUTION

This can be worked around by turning on airplane mode first, then visiting the desired URL. The page, obviously, will not be found, but this causes the "Add to home screen" item to be reinstated. Use it, then turn off airplane mode again. Voilà!

Namaste,

I have got some questions. I hope I get the answers. 1) I can't use print option in Firefix android. Need a help on that. 2) Like the desktop Firefox there also should be a option for pagesetup, remove margins and header and footer. 3) In recent phones there is no option of "save as pdf" when we click print option. So can this be fixed?

Thank you Prakash

I see archived threads from two years ago asking why there is no longer a 'Save as PDF' function. What is the status of this almost universal browser function? I've used Firefox for PC always going back to Netscape, and really want to like and use Firefox Android.
