Angular5 Service Worker update(SWUpdate) not detecting on firefox. Working on chrome
I had this same issue and was able to fix it by registering the service worker in main.ts:
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule).then(() => { if ('serviceWorker' in navigator && environment.production) { navigator.serviceWorker.register('/ngsw-worker.js'); }}).catch(err => console.log(err));I also created a Service worker service to notify the user when there is a new update available:
If you are interested in how my service worker service looks, you can see the code here.
