Hello Mozilla Support Community,
We are currently optimizing a web-based UK vehicle lookup tool (regchecker.co.uk) to work seamlessly as a Firefox Search Engine Provider (OpenSearch XML) and Progressive Web App (PWA) for Firefox users on Desktop and Android.
Architecture & Setup:
Primary Domain: (regchecker.co.uk)
Implementation: OpenSearch XML integration for quick vehicle lookup directly from the Firefox address bar.
Target Browsers: Firefox Desktop (Latest) & Firefox for Android.
Issue / Question:
Address Bar Search Parameter Dropping: When users add regchecker.co.uk as a custom search engine in Firefox Desktop, performing a quick lookup via the address bar (e.g., typing reg AB12 CDE) occasionally drops the URL-encoded query parameters when redirecting to HTTPS, resulting in an empty input field.
Firefox Android PWA Manifest Issue: On Firefox for Android, the PWA "Add to Home Screen" prompt fails to register our Web App Manifest icons properly, whereas it works smoothly on Chromium-based engines.
Steps Taken So Far:
Verified OpenSearch XML validation standards.
Ensured (regchecker.co.uk) has valid TLS 1.3 certificates and proper CORS headers.
Tested on Firefox Developer Edition with clean profiles.
Any insights on Firefox-specific OpenSearch URL encoding rules or Web Manifest requirements would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
