The newly added PWA support is neat and was much needed. However there is an issue with the PWA icons under Windows, in the Start menu. In the all programs tab the icons are correctly the icons of their respective websites, but if the icon is pinned as a tile it switches to the default firefox icon making it hard to tell them apart at the first glance. The issue is present under Windows 10 and also Windows 11 How to recreate: Win10: -add a tab to the taskbar as a PWA -open Start menu -pin the PWA Win11: -install ExplorerPatcher and change the useless clunky win11 Start to the almighty and productive win10 Start -add a tab to the taskbar as a PWA -open Start menu -pin the PWA

Is there any way to fix the icons of pinned PWAs?

I updated my firefox browser on October 6th and ever since then, whenever I press ALT to switch to a different application (I use ALT + Tab to switch windows) I go back in a tab's history. This never happened before and I'm not sure how to go about disabling whatever function this is. I've checked in the about:config section of firefox but I don't know which of these options is for this function, if it's even in here. Any advice or help would be appreciated!

Edge Suddenly Taking Over (My Beloved Firefox) - MS Edge? BLECH!

Hi! I'm on a relatively new to me (refurb) desktop computer running Win 10 Pro (64 bit)* and Firefox 143.0.3.

In the past week both Firefox and Win 10 have updated. I don't know what happened, but now when I boot up or reboot, my computer opens to MS Edge. Yuck!

Every single time I have to reinstall Firefox! Once I do that, all is well again. I have all my bookmarks back, etc.

It also keeps changing my "default to Firefox" browser setting, turning it OFF, while I'm using Firefox. I repeatedly have to keep going in and clicking to make FF to the default browser again.

Why is it doing this? How do I stop it?

Anyway, I know I can't delete Edge or uninstall it. How do I shove it back into the black hole it has lived in until now?

Thanks very much in advance for any help offered. :)
