Actually it seems really annoying and redundant to me - my device (Samsung Galaxs S21 / Chrome) already does have a back button that is always visible. Agreed. Can there be an option to disable this on Android.

Why does it say XF 2.2 for you and it says "XF comm..." for me? (I'm on Android running Chrome on a Pixel)Yeah I think it works now

Which is a relief because it was definitely working when I tested it locally.

Chris’ version is a local dev environment.
So Firefox on Android does support PWA and notifications.
Not sure what device you use specifically @sbj but I just witnessed some fairly odd and inconsistent behaviour between testing on a physical Samsung S20 and a Google Pixel 7 Pro via Browserstack (a real device, but remotely accessed).
On the latter, I installed the app, I accepted notifications and observed that no notifications were being received. I then went back to Firefox itself (not the PWA) and there was a message on screen again asking me to allow notifications (something I had already done).
After that, notifications still weren't readily apparent, but it turns out they were actually being received but they were "Silent" so they were kinda hidden at the bottom of the list of notifications.
So it's likely they're just not "allowed" or otherwise hidden.
As for app badge updates, that isn't supported by Firefox on Android:
For all intents and purposes though, even if Firefox is your preferred browser, you might want to consider installing the PWA through Chrome. Still use Firefox for normal browsing but the PWA will use Chrome behind the scenes.

Try adding this to yourAny way to easily move the position of the new PWA back button higher up the screen? It is going behind sticky ad unit in the footer. Thanks
