I have created a Firefox OS application (a game) and it is approved by reviewers. It appears in the marketplace, but I can't download it to my phone because it says it is not available from my country (Hungary).
I have checked the country settings of the app, but Hungary (and some other countries: Germany, Spain, Greece, etc.) is grayed out, and I don't know what to do to make it available.
Has anyone any idea why it is not available from some countries?
I work on the Marketplace. This is currently a bug which I will work on fixing. You should be able to switch your app back to the Games category and have it available in Hungary tomorrow after the bug has been fixed.
Sorry for the inconveniences and thanks for bringing this up.

When I use chrome, google pay automatically suggests I pay using one of my saved cards.
This is working for my site on desktop but on mobile it is not.
It asks me to select my card
then to put in my CCV code
it then checks that it is correct
but it does not appear on the form when the google pay box disappears.
Is there a way to fix this or to disable google pay from suggesting using saved credit cards?
The site is live here: https://www.ticketglen.com/events/627169277aa4727312497eaf
I fixed this by upgrading to the latest version of react.
I was using version "^16.9.0" when there was a problem.
There is no problem with version "^18.1.0"
It seems every resource regarding things like CSS3 and HTML5 nag me about particular things not being implemented in older browsers, and hacky workarounds. Really who uses IE 9 or 10 anymore anyway? IE11 is out, Edge is default on W10, and I assume most / all people use it. To me it seems to make the most sense to simply make the page render properly on the latest Chrome (what I use), Firefox, Edge, and Safari..
Ughhh apple. My understanding is that the Windows version of Safari is very outdated and trying to get a (questionably obtained) image of macOS working in a VM has been unsuccessful. I'm not spending a dime for any Apple products just to test my site on their browser. So what can I do in order to test how my site will work in it?
Regarding your question...
Who uses IE 9 or 10 anymore anyway?
Typically, people with older Windows systems. This is important for your website based on whether or not IE 9/10 users will be accessing the website that is being supported. (A review of your website's web logs can shed light on this.) If your website is an internal intranet site, then an organization's IT department may dictate the browsers that users can use. However, large eCommerce websites will often support older browsers out of fear of losing customers to rivals.
Regarding your second question...
How do I go about ensuring the site is functional and looks reasonably
good on apple products conveniently, without any apple products while
on a minimal budget?
Without actual Apple products, something that emulates these displays is needed. One option is the "Inspect" option with the Chrome browser. (Display your website on Chrome, right-click, select "Inspect".) Inspect allows you to choose between a Desktop or Mobile display. With a Mobile display, you also have the option of selecting several Apple displays (e.g. iPhone, iPad, etc.). This is probably the next best thing to having the actual Apple device and its display for website testing.
This has bothered me for a long time, and there is no way to contact Google for support, and their documentation doesn't cover this.
I think I must be missing something, but I can't for the life of me figure it out
If you search for my extension manually, it shows up:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/mortality
but if you just go to the store and apply the relevant filters
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions
Extensions, Productivity, Runs Offline
It doesn't show up.
I have had it in the store for a few months now, initially I had thought it just takes some time to show up but I now am fairly confident I'm missing something.
The manifest is correct (Compared to other apps that do show)
Region and language is correct
Has anybody seen this before, and know what the problem is?
I've met this issue before and have contacted with the CWS dev support team. It is because chrome web store doesn't list the item under its category if it has already been installed by the user. I can see your extension under "Extensions, Productivity, Runs Offline" category properly since I didn't install your extension. I think Google CWS team is considering to show up the item under its category no matter if the user has installed it in the future.
CWS works strange, I think some unwanted to Google extensions and apps are blocked and are not shown in the top of categories. You can check this by going to the bottom of the categories and see these unwanted apps and extensions. Simple set the filter to 4 stars and you can find this apps in the place when apps and extensions with promotion tales ended.
My app is available on the firefox marketplace at https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/shopping-list/
However if I search for "shopping" or "shopping list" in the marketplace app or on https://marketplace.firefox.com it does not appear anywhere.
What is going on ?
Your app does not appear when searching the Firefox Marketplace from Desktop or Android because we filter search results to show only apps that will work on the device you are searching from, and you did not check the boxes to say that it is available on desktop or android. Like Jason, I easily found your app when searching from my Firefox OS phone.
Gi,
Marketplace reviewer here. Your app is public and has the following requirements:
IndexedDB, Smartphone-Sized Displays (qHD), Vibration.
You should be able to find it, no matter what version you are using.
My guess is that your are using any hyphen to look for it. If you try using "shopping", it will be in the third place:
I want to show a Google Earth like globe on my website, where people can rotate it and zoom it like normal Google Earth. I want to show signed up users on my website on this glob but the problem I am facing is that Google Earth plug in is not available for Linux , what other options do I have? thanks in advance for all your help.
I'm not sure what you mean by "other options". As you correctly state the plug-in doesn't work on Linux so there isn't any other option as far as that goes.
At Google I/O back in May 2008 it was announced that the plug-in would be available for both Mac and Linux by August that year - however only the Mac version ever surfaced.
The last I heard on this was in 2011 on the feature request page for the plug-in.
"...please note that we do believe that we can support Linux in the
future, and furthermore, we intend to support it. However currently we
do not have any timeline to announce for such a release."
See: https://code.google.com/p/earth-api-samples/issues/detail?id=117
If you 'star' the request you should be notified of any updates, but as you can see it doesn't look to be something that is going to happen in any kind of hurry...
EDIT:
As for other, non-Google, alternatives you should take a look at WebGL Earth - it is still BETA but works on linux and is open source
