Hi all,

first of all: thanks for this amazing looking and working app, I use is everywhere but on Firefox 115 on Android 11/MIUI 12.1.1 the "Install" button the the menu doesn't do anything. I disabled all addons (uBlock, Darkreader and Https Everywhere) but no change.

Is there any way to find out why installation is not working?

Update: Correcting permission for Firefox to allow setting Home Screen Shortcuts solved the issue

Seems to be more a firefox issue than a site issue. Works fine for me.

Could also be your phone blocks widgets on the home screen. The "app" firefox installs is just a widget shortcut that launches a single tab in firefox.

This was the solution. Permission for firefox were set to "Home screen shortcuts" disabled. Once enabled, installation worked. Thanks for the hint.
