[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!
[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 advancePWA 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)
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 links
Application Links Disappeared in Edge Settings
Greetings, I hope that you're doing well. A website that I frequently visit continuously prompts to become the default protocol handler of MAILTO: links. The previous versions of Microsoft Edge provided the option to prevent websites from requesting permission to become default protocol handlers. However, as of Edge Version 138.0.3351.65, this option seems to no longer be available in Edge Settings -> Privacy, search, and services -> Site permissions. Can someone from the Edge Support Team please confirm if this option is available somewhere else? Screenshots are attached. Thanks in advance for your help! Option Available in Previous Version of Edge: Option Not Available in Current Version of Edge:
Microsoft Edge Completely Broken on Windows 11 – Need Urgent Help
Hello everyone, I’m experiencing a major issue with Microsoft Edge on Windows 11, and nothing I’ve tried so far has fixed it. Edge seems completely broken for me. Here are the problems I’m facing: The new tab page takes about 3 seconds to load. Icons on the new tab page are unclickable, and many appear as broken images. The built-in VPN refuses to turn on — it just doesn’t work. The translation feature is completely broken, always showing “Unable to translate page” errors. I cannot install any extensions. Every time I try, I get the error: “An error has occurred. Download interrupted.” Syncing doesn’t work at all. Favorites, passwords, and account data do not sync, even though I’m logged into my Microsoft account. Instead, it just says: “This feature is coming soon. We’ll keep you in touch.” What I’ve tried: Uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft Edge. Completely removed Edge from my system and reinstalled it fresh. Used the “Repair” option for Edge. Repaired Windows 11 through the Windows Update repair tool. Unfortunately, none of these steps have helped. The issues remain exactly the same. Has anyone else run into this? Is there any way to fully reset or properly fix Edge? I’d greatly appreciate any guidance or solutions. Thank you in advance!
Intl.DateTimeFormat missing Welsh (cy / cy-GB) support
Hi! I'm a developer at a company who is currently working with the Welsh government and have come across an issue with Microsoft Edge. When using the Intl.DateTimeFormat JavaScript API in Microsoft Edge, there is no support for cy / cy-GB. Intl.DateTimeFormat.supportedLocalesOf("cy-GB"); // Outputs [] Intl.DateTimeFormat.supportedLocalesOf("cy"); // Outputs [] If a developer tries to do any date formatting with the locale set to cy or cy-GB, only English will be returned. Out of curiosity I tried this with and without the Windows language being set to Welsh / Cymraeg. The result was the same (no support). Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari have full support. Interestingly Google Chrome does not (perhaps shared issue / limitation of Chromium). Unfortunately this causes a bit of a significant challenge. Any website / web app developed for the Welsh government or related bodies is legally required to be available in Welsh. Due to the popularity of Microsoft Edge, particularly with governments and institutions, developers cannot reliably use the Intl based APIs. The only known workarounds are: To use a formatting library instead of Intl Avoids using the ECMAScript APIs designed to solve problems for developers Additional client side and developer maintenance costs To include very bulky polyfills Popular polyfill, locale and timezone information exceeds 2MB of data for the client to load per website / web app. Unsure if this a bug or locale which is yet to be supported. Adding support for Welsh would be a huge step forward and greatly appreciated by developers working with government bodies. Even better would be adding support for the same languages Windows supports!The Right-Click Menu in Edge Is a Mess — Let Us Customize It
I’m writing this out of sheer frustration. The right-click context menu in Microsoft Edge has become a bloated, chaotic mess. It’s packed with options I never use, cluttered with features I didn’t ask for, and completely lacking in user control. Every time I try to do something simple — copy text, inspect an element, save an image — I’m forced to wade through a swamp of irrelevant entries. Why is there still no native way to customize this menu? No toggle, no drag-and-drop, no “hide this item” option. Just a static wall of Microsoft’s assumptions about what I need. I’m not asking for miracles. I’m asking for basic UX respect: • Let users remove or hide items they don’t use. • Let us reorder the menu so frequently used actions are at the top. • Let us disable features like that we don't use without having to dig through obscure settings or registry hacks. This isn’t a niche request. Just look at the Remove unnecessary items from right-click menu in Edge | Microsoft Community Hub thread — users have been asking for this for years. The silence is deafening. Edge has come a long way, but this context menu issue is a glaring oversight. Please, give us the power to clean up our own workspace. We’re not asking for less functionality — we’re asking for control.
