I've been using FirefoxPWA on Linux and Windows since 2021 and never had this problem, but today after installing Ubuntu, I noticed that the extension doesn't recognize the native app!

I created another profile on Firefox before installing FirefoxPWA, maybe that's causing the problem.

There are some problems with Firefox from Snap. Possible solutions are here.

Yes, my Firefox installed from Snap.
You can close this issue because I think that's the problem.

Do you have any plans to turn the extension into a standalone app for managing PWAs without a browser?
Like "Chrome App Launcher" on older versions of Chrome:

No, because it would take too much effort (creating desktop apps can be a lot harder than just CLI programs) for not much additional benefit (as everything can already be done from the extension). However, if somebody else decides to build an alternative frontend/UI for PWAsForFirefox, then can do it and integrate it using firefoxpwa-connector.
