I really wish there was more word from mozilla on this. There are a few electron apps that I’d much rather use a PWA for so I can totally ditch chromium/electron

Why is this news? We had these for over a decade - Firefox had XULRunner, Opera back then had some sort of app thingy, I feel like this comes around every so often and it never really catches on because you could just run the website in the browser anyway - doing it with less browser controls / UI never seems to catch on. Maybe this time it will but…
Well electron apps have caught on, but a standard like this that lets you do it directly with your browser seems like it would be better
I did enjoy Vivaldi for that reason, though, you could do ‘hide UI’. Whilst all the controls/tabs/URLbar were still there, they got hidden. It LOOKED exactly like a webapp - but without creating a separate profile for the website in question.
If I want to isolate (which I generally do with a separate user/profile) then I’ll do it that way… so if I really wanted a separate ‘Amazon’ application, it’d be
firefox -p Amazon.Having a separate shortcut in Firefox to HIDE UI would definitely be nice.
