i use firefox with a lot of extensions, making the shortcut widget with the built-in add to home screen function won’t work because it’ll open the site with extensions disabled.

i’ve managed to make it work better by making the shortcut with internet disabled which opens the link in the actual firefox app but that gives the shortcut app a generic icon which looks bad.

i’ve searched around and there are apps that make shortcuts but no luck finding a foss one.

    I don’t completely understand.
    Why does normal shortcut open website without extensions? Does it open in private tab? And you have extensions disabled in private tabs?

      tried it again the extensions seem to work now, maybe it was a bug with firefox?
      anyway the widgets the add to home screen thing adds don’t open in the normal firefox app, there’s no search bar for example
