Install often does not work nearly as well as the web page. For example, spelling bee "installed" on my Samsung tab A7, has difficulty accepting taps. Only about 1 in 3 taps will register a letter. On my brand new Pixel 7A, the spelling bee app is not in dark mode, even though it is in the browser. And my entire phone is dark mode. Also, I can't click on the share or overflow menus. Installing the New York times games page has the same problems. And last, on my pixel 7a, the USGS earthquakes app jumps around all over the place making it useless. It would be nice to have both options, "install" and "add to home screen" in case the install fails.

Hi

Thank you for your question.

Where a site offers a Progressive Web App (PWA), Firefox for Android offers that as the preferred option as that is the way that the developers of that website would like their site to be viewed on mobile devices, but I appreciate that mileage may vary with different sites.

There are still to ways you can work around this and install a shortcut:

  1. Add the shortcut as the page is loading
  2. Take your device offline and then install the shortcut

I hope that this helps.
