1908588 - generic unchangeable "Web site" label for some home screen shortcuts

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox for Android :: PWA, defect, P2)

Description

[Lionel Elie Mamane]

Steps to reproduce:

• Open URL https://auth.bluecorner.be/login
• Click on "three stacked dots" menu
• Click "Add to Home screen"

Actual results:

• intermediate dialog that proposes as label for the shortcut the title of the web page, but allows one to change the label
• after clicking "add" on the intermediate dialog, get final dialog (which may be from my launcher and not from Mull) with text "touch and hold the widget to move it around the home screen" and "cancel" and "Add to home screen" buttons.

The home screen shortcut is then called by the very generic and very unhelpful label "Web site".

Expected results:

no intermediate dialog, one gets directly the final dialog

Compare with https://github.com/ where one does not get the intermediate dialog, but at least the label makes some sense, many other websites, such as https://www.foo.be, https://www.debian.org, https://divestos.org where one gets the useful intermediate dialog.

In case it was not clear to anybody, I erroneously swapped the "expected result" and "actual result" sections. The expected result is to get the intermediate dialog, always. The actual result is that on https://auth.bluecorner.be/login and on https://github.com/ one does NOT get the intermediate dialog.

Apologies for the error in the report.

This is due to the fact that the website has an empty string in the name field in their manifest. We should handle this more gracefully
