1857462 - "Add to Home screen" becomes "Install" and defunct

Status: NEW

(Fenix :: PWA, enhancement)

Description

[Cedric]

As of recently, Fennec from F-Droid replaces the "Add to Home screen" menu entry by something called "Install". This has several problems:

• It denies the user the "Add to Home screen" operation, which should always be possible, regardless of what additional caps the site offers (PWA, etc.). For example, "Install" on https://www.windy.com/ creates an app which ignores the current GET parameters from the webpage. This is not desireable.
• While "Add to Home screen" is already an odd description (for example, using KISS Launcher, nothing is actually "added to the home screen", but rather, a shortcut is installed), "Install" is even more dubious
