[Wayland] PWAs no longer appear as separate app windows — all group under main Edge icon
Hi, Since around 2025-09-07 to 2025-09-10, I’ve noticed that on GNOME (Wayland) all installed PWAs (even across different profiles) now appear grouped under the main Edge browser icon in the GNOME Shell dash/taskbar. Previously, each PWA would open in its own window group with its own icon. This is still the behavior in Chromium/Brave/Chrome, and can be restored there by editing the PWA’s .desktop file to set: StartupWMClass=<same value as Icon> However, Edge now seems to ignore StartupWMClass completely on Wayland, breaking workspace separation and making task switching hard. Environment: Ubuntu 25.04 GNOME 48.0 / Mutter (Wayland) Kernel 6.14.0-29 Intel Iris Xe GPU Edge (latest stable, observed post 2025-09-13) Repro steps: Install any PWA (e.g. Outlook, Teams, Spotify) from Edge Launch it (from any profile) Observe that it appears grouped under the main Edge browser icon Expected: PWA shows under its own icon and window group like in Chromium-based browsers Actual: All PWAs are bundled into the main Edge window group Editing StartupWMClass in the .desktop file no longer helps This regression makes PWAs much harder to manage on Wayland. Please route to the Linux/Wayland team if possible. Thanks!
Why can't I find the option "Send tab to your devices" in the tab menu?
I was using Edge stable Version 140.0.3485.66 (Official build) (64-bit), and it's up to date. I was looking for an option "Send tab to your devices" in the tab menu. Someone told me that try using preview version of Edge, and it worked. But I'm having problems during sync on Edge beta preview. The Edge beta preview is a brand-new install application. Unfortunately, it can't sync extensions data and open tabs from Edge standard that I'm using. So, I have to re-configure every extension manually. And imports all the scripts installed in tpmk and re-configure them manually. I hope there was a better solution that doesn't have to transfer data or losing data. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5554806/why-cant-i-find-the-option-send-tab-to-your-device?page=2&orderby=helpful&comment=answer-12237255&translated=falseMica issues again (title bar + context menus)
Weird bug again - in both Stable/Dev the title bar mica effects are not working, but the dropdown & context menu (three dot settings) is. In Canary, the title bar mica effect *is* working, but the dropdown/context menu is not (solid white). I reported via feedback as well. Canary: Dev/Stable:Cast button in toolbar doesn't work anymore
I'm on a Windows 10 tablet and since a few weeks in all my 3 installations (Stable, Dev 141.0.3500.1 , Canary 141.0.3518.0) the cast button in the toolbar doesn't work anymore. Only option I have now to initiate casting is with: Menu-Button => More Tools => Cast Media, which is quite annoying. Could someone from the developer team please take a look into that? Thanks in advance!
Edge not recognizing Xbox controllers (for Xbox cloud gaming) anymore
This problem is now present since around 6 months or longer, some update in Edge totally broke gaming controller support. Problem is reported by countless people on here too: https://www.reddit.com/r/xcloud/comments/zit4tg/edge_not_recognising_controller/ https://www.reddit.com/r/xcloud/comments/zfrucy/edge_update_issue/ https://www.reddit.com/r/xcloud/comments/zwejbj/xbox_360_wireless_controller_not_working_in_xbox/ https://www.reddit.com/r/xcloud/comments/zwtekr/controller_doesnt_work_on_microsoft_edge/ and so on. Would be nice if someone would look into this and fix it. Can be easily tested on: https://gamepad-tester.com/ Xbox 360 controller with wireless adapter connected to Windows 11 pc. Edge: doesnt work Chrome: works Firefox: works The problem seems to be related to Xbox 360 controllers. I have tested a Xbox One controller via Bluetooth, that one is recognized in Edge (also Chrome and Firefox of course). Xbox 360 controller via Windows wireless USB adapter, not recognized in Edge (working in Chrome and Firefox).
The official place to report bugs
I am a user of the beta version of Edge on Linux. From time to time, I encounter bugs that I’d like to report. After some searching, this forum is the closest I have found to a bug tracker. So I was wondering whether there’s a dedicated place for reporting bugs or should I just post here?
[MS Edge Android] UI Glitch: Suggestions Misaligned in Bottom Search Bar Mode
Hi everyone! I'm experiencing a strange issue with the search suggestions when using bottom bar mode. In Microsoft Edge, there's a blank space between the input bar and the suggestions above it, as shown in the attached image (see the red line). Is anyone else seeing this bug? Any idea how to fix it? Thanks in advance
MS Edge - Sidebar and copilot not working on Linux Ubuntu v24 LTS
Sidebar not syncing or accepting new app additions (+). Copilot button is dead/inactive. Sidebar settings are well configured. Using the latest version of the Ubuntu OS and MS Edge. Functionality appears to be absent as product was released without full functionality....Lame!PWA shortcuts don't keep asociated with window - Linux
I recently upgraded to version140.0.3485.14 (Official build) beta (64-bit) and noticed that my PWA, even if they open correctly in a independent window, don't show the "running window counter" on the taskbar. So, for example, if a open Outlook, the window open and loads the app, but if a I click the icon again, it opens another window, wich is a little annoying. I tried removing the PWA from Edge, rebooting, and installing again, but didn't work. Because the only change I made is updating Edge, I think is related to this build. (too lazy to go back or install the stable release)
Unable to load workspaces
I have never been able to use Edge Workspaces on my main personal profile. I have already performed the following troubleshooting steps: Logged out and back in with my profile Downloaded Edge Canary and signed in there, but it doesn’t work on Canary either Cleared cache and cookies Reset Edge Resynced Reset sync data Checked that there is no “workspaces” folder in OneDrive I think the issue is clearly related to my account, because on my work account it all works perfectly. I am attaching the error log. How can I resolve this, if there is no way to reach assistance for personal free users? Thank you.Chrome extension managed storage policy
Hi there, I've developed a chrome extension and now we want to deploy it using Intune. Force install of extension works great but I can't pass managed data to the extension. Here is the scheme: { "type": "object", "properties": { "apiKey": { "title": "API Key", "description": "An API key to communicate with server.", "type": "string" } } } This is the policy that I created in Intune: OMA-URI: ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Chrome~Policy~googlechrome~3rdparty~extensions~eagefwefpbjpewefliifpgfgoewfknnmk~policy Data type: String Value: {"apiKey":"mykey123"} But it doesn't appear in chrome://policy and when I get policies in my code with: const result = await chrome.storage.managed.get(null); The result is empty! What is the problem here? And how to fix it?How to disable confirmation pop-up in Edge Browser when opening many tabs
I have bookmarks arranged in multiple folders, varying from 10 to 500 or more links per folder. Whenever I try to click on the bookmark folder to open all of them at once, I always get this Pop-up, which is very annoying to me (I was ignoring that pop-up for more than a year). Is there any built-in setting to disable or increase the limit? P.S: FYI, I am on a very high-end laptop(M4 pro with increased RAM & SSD) and due to my use case, I have to regularly, almost every day open many linksFeature Request: Role-Based Separation in Microsoft Edge
Description: As a professional who wears multiple hats — Operations, Architecture, Courseware, etc. — I rely heavily on Microsoft Edge to organize my digital workspace. While Edge Profiles offer some separation, they fall short when it comes to true contextual isolation. Signing into multiple profiles with the same Microsoft account causes bookmarks, extensions, and settings to merge, defeating the purpose of separation and creating privacy and productivity issues. Proposal: Introduce a “Roles” feature within a single Edge identity that allows users to create and switch between distinct work contexts without data bleed. Each role would have: Isolated bookmarks, tab groups, and workspace layouts Optional shared elements like passwords, extensions, and history A simple checkbox interface to control what syncs across roles Role-specific visibility for presentations or shared environments (e.g., hiding personal bookmarks during a Teams meeting) Benefits: Enables professionals to maintain clean separation between responsibilities Reduces risk of accidental data exposure in meetings or shared devices Improves productivity by allowing seamless context switching Minimizes time spent managing profiles and recovering from sync mishaps Use Case Example: Operations role: synced with work account, full access to enterprise tools Architecture role: isolated bookmarks and tabs for design tools Courseware role: focused on LMS platforms and training resources This feature would be a game-changer for professionals who need role-based organization without the overhead and risk of managing multiple profiles.Flickering / brightness changes when hovering mouse over parts in browser window.
Hi, Don't know if I've come to the right place to ask/report this, but: In Edge (and Chrome) I have some annoying flickering issues lately. I'm running Edge in dark-mode and in a window (not fullscreen). To reproduce I'm opening a new tab (only search bar on page visible) with the dark background. When hovering the mouse over the favorites bar, address bar, clicking outside the Edge window (on desktop) or make some other movements, the Edge screen flickers a bit (not continuously but on certain moments). Like it's gamma/brightness changes randomly on certain moments. I also had a Teams video meeting on top of the Edge window (so Teams had a smaller window) and that made the visible bottom part of the Edge window flicker a lot. Its really disturbing. I've updated graphics drivers and even monitor firmware and turned of local-dimming, but nothing helps. It is only happening in Chrome and Edge. Not in a dark File Explorer window or Firefox. However, I discovered the issue is not present when turning off "Use Hardware Acceleration When Available" or in edge://flags setting "Choose ANGLE graphics backend" to "D3D9". I really hope this can be fixed (unless it's an Intel GPU bug) because it's extremely annoying. Or maybe I should buy a discrete GPU and hope that fixes it.
