Thanks to the Linux Mozilla community, we now know that Web Apps are working on Cinnamon and KDE too (but we'll need the categorization to improve the integration of web apps in the menus). | Thanks to the Linux Mozilla community, we now know that Web Apps are working on Cinnamon and KDE too (but we'll need the categorization to improve the integration of web apps in the menus). | ||

This week was pretty calm. We added a notification in the Marketplace after the installation of an application on Linux. I've registered an account on GitHub to do this. | |||
If you have any idea on how to improve the message, feel free to comment on the pull request (https://github.com/mozilla/zamboni/pull/340#commitcomment-1459497). | |||
I've started the work about moving the installation directory under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and to support uninstallation through a desktop action. | |||
Moving the installation to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME isn't so simple as I initially thought, because of the way Firefox handles profile directories: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763183 | |||
Instead, supporting the uninstallation through a desktop action is pretty simple. I've developed a patch that is waiting for a review: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761806 | |||
We've also found out two bugs related to re-installation of a running application (bug 763375 and bug 751898), that I think could be solved by disabling the re-installation of a running application by locking its profile (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765380). | |||
And we've found out that the installer was removing the profile directory for each re-installation (only on Windows and Linux), so if you tried to re-install an application, you would lose all its data (also the authorizations, like the geolocation one). | |||
I've started to work on a patch to solve this problem: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764172. | |||
