[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 S...
Here's what just worked for me. 25.04 insiders edge-dev.
- Get your PWA opened with the window you like, ignore that the icon doesn't appear.
- Find your app id edge://apps, you'll see it in the URL, long string.
- Alt-R (run), type `lg` (built in window class analyzer for Wayland)
- Click `Window`, find your window and find the window class, mine was msedge-_[YOUR-APP-ID-HERE]-Default
- Edit the .desktop file to pass the correct WM Class to Edge, i'm lazy so I used PinIt from flatpak but it's on snap too. If you use PinIt, just change the window class to the window class you found in step 4.
- Then launch your app and viola, icons are back!
I can't take credit for this resolution, it's a bug from 2022 when Microsoft introduced a Wayland optional flag, I'm guessing now that Wayland has become the default so now all the unresolved Wayland bugs are showing up. Either way, i've got my PWA back, hope it helps y'all!
That fixed worked for me! It's annoying to have to do it for each pinned PWA, but I only have two right now. This issues was annoying enough to me that I switched to using Firefox for most of my PWAs (which aren't even supported natively).
