PWAsForFirefox 2.17.2

Important

According to the Firefox Add-ons Policies, communication with the native messaging host is considered data collection and transmission. To comply with that, the extension manifest now declares now declares the transmission of the browsing activity to the native program using the Firefox built-in consent for data collection and transmission functionality.

You may see a popup from Firefox when updating the extension that it may now collect or transmit the browsing activity.

No changes regarding the actual transmission have been made. No personal data leave the computer or are sent to third parties. Browsing data (the current website and manifest URLs) is only sent to the native program when installing a web app and stored locally.

Changed

• Added Twitter/X to the list of websites with invalid manifests (Error while installing X #724).
• Updated translations.
• Updated dependencies.

Fixed

• Compiling on Gentoo should now work properly with Rust 1.89 (Mime crate needs updating to compile with rust 1.89 #755).
