Finally migrated back to Firefox today after a multi year user of Chrome.

What pushed me over the edge? Most of my app icons (keep, pulse, calender, whatsapp) stopped opening in their own windows again.

I had to install the PWA extension in Firefox to get that working again, and it's going to be a slight hassle having to copy and paste URLs from all those windows, but I'm tired of fixing the task bar icons.

Could've gone to Edge since it would work out of the box, but I like Firefox. (except for no native PWA support.)

Edit: found I can right click links in the PWA instances and use the send to other device option to open them in my main Firefox window.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro. Ive tried disabling battery optimisation, enabling autostart. Xiaomi phones are known to be aggressive with optimising, but every Chromium based browser is fine - Chrome, Vivaldi, Brave, and what im using now which is Privacy Browser. So I do think there's sonething about Firefox in particular

Ohh. I never had this problem when I was using MIUI. IDK how it works.
