FirefoxPWA 0.4.0

[filips123]

Added

• Support for installing non-PWA sites as apps (Support for installing non-PWA sites as PWAs #15):
  Non-PWA sites will not display the installation action in the address bar, however, they can be installed from the extension's main browser action.
  This way of installing sites does not require PWA manifest, so it should work with basically any website.

• Support for disabling app manifest (Can't add 9anime.to to FirefoxPWA #21, Cross origin error at install #23):
  You can uncheck "Use the manifest for determining app properties" when installing the site to prevent usage of the manifest.
  This fixes the problem with some sites with broken manifests, such as 9anime.to and tumblr.com.

• Support for opening out-of-scope URLs in a default browser (Open (external) links in proper browser window, not in pseudo-PWA #8):
  This is disabled by default, but can be enabled in about:config (firefoxpwa.openOutOfScopeInDefaultBrowser) or Firefox settings.
  Enabling this option will automatically close the PWA window and open any out-of-scope URLs in a default browser.
  This may cause problems with some websites, so it is not recommended to turn it on unless you know what you are doing.

• Support for enabling tabs mode (Tabbing Option for PWAs  #12):
  This is disabled by default but can be enabled in about:config (firefoxpwa.enableTabsMode) or Firefox settings.
  Enabling this option will cause the app browser to display tabs, similar to the normal browser, but without a URL bar.

• Support for changing app browser settings from Firefox settings page:
  Most about:config preferences by FirefoxPWA can now be accessed directly from the Firefox settings page.
  Note: This means settings page of the app browser, not settings page of the main browser.

Changed

• Some documentation and UI/UX improvements.
• Unnecessary UI elements are now hidden.
• New windows now open PWA start URL.
• Updated dependencies.

Fixed

• Site name and description are now trimmed sanitized to prevent problems with shortcuts.
• Some UI fixes.
