As the title says, I'm wondering if anyone knows how to block these annoying menu notifications/dots in android Firefox Nightly?

They happen in regular android Firefox too, but I was hoping there would be some setting in Nightly that could disable them.

I don't think you can block those, they exist specifically to make you aware that there's a PWA for this page.

God damn it, I really hope thats not the case. Fuck em and fuck people who push useless PWA'S.

PWAs are amazing IMO, less apps for every shit thing 😁

@Carighan @Kallioapina
I agree that Site Specific Browsers (SSB's) aka Personal Web Apps (PWA's) are much preferred over hunting for binary operating system specific app's.

The removal of this functionality in Firefox 86 was just one of the many decisions that is contributing to Firefox's catastrophic fall in usage.

I believe what the OP is referring to is _installable_ web apps, which brings the worst of both worlds, being both a web page and an operating system specific binary app

Yep I agree, world needs less apps, but also less PWA's. Regular browser interfaces can work well too.
