Description
The provided documentation on using firefoxpwa on alternative browsers (at least on MacOS) does not work. I have a suggestion ... :-)
Steps to Reproduce
Follow the instructions given here:
https://pwasforfirefox.filips.si/help/faq/#how-to-use-an-alternative-browser-as-an-app-browser
In this case for Waterfox on MacOS installed with the Homebrew cask.
Additional Information
Trying to (manually) launch the browser on the CLI kills it immediately (likely as well when using the browser UI):
$ runtime/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox
Killed: 9 runtime/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox
When changing the instruction to use a symbolic link instead of a hard link everything works as expected. This is the change:
So a simple update in the documentation should suffice.
Affected Websites
Any/all.
