Why is Firefox ignoring the manifest?

Viewed 106

I'm trying to learn PWA development. Done some basic exercises, and they work well on Chrome, but Firefox completely ignores the

<link rel="manifest" href="manifest.webmanifest">

According to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Manifest it should work, but the manifest is not even requested from the server.

Do you have any recommendations on checking what may I be forgiving or doing wrong?

Web App Manifest is only compatible with Firefox For Android, not Firefox desktop, which makes sense as web app manifests are designed to make a website behave more "app-like".

They are supported by Chrome desktop for whatever reason, which is why you are seeing your server hit by Chrome.
