Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

MODERATORS
So - they added what a single .desktop file can do, but didn't make it so the tabbar can be hidden (without botchy CSS).
It's not even finished yet, who knows what will happen to the tab bar.
Edit: in fact, looks like they explicitly said that it wouldn't be included.
Well, they explicitly stated they want it to feel like FF, including the tabbar.
Aren't the whole point of PWAs that they feel like a native app, like one that can be installed on your android/desktop?
I hope they include an option to hide the tab bar.
Yes. That's the main point I'm criticizing.
I don't catch on fast lol sorry. It's a very stupid thing tbh, mozilla's shooting its foot too much these days.
Where does it say "including the tabbar"? I even see the following in the Connect post:
I read that as the tab bar still being there, but no ability to open more tabs.
Well, given that that doesn't explicitly mention the tab bar, and that my quote does, I think you can still hold out hope that it will not be visible :)
