Bring back PWA (progressive web apps)

[brochard]

Progressive Web apps are an important feature of a browser that Firefox is the only one missing.
For some, it can be the reason to switch to another browser.
In other cases like for the Steamdeck, it's what imposed the choice to only include Chrome in the SteamOS interface.
Other problem even for avid Firefox users, since I wanted Social apps on my pc I had to get them on the Microsoft Store which is an Edge PWA that opens every link in an Edge window, making me use this... other browser.

@matthewcdotrice"I hate clutter on my home screen and I hate having to constantly open certain tabs just to get on a platform. Just being able to put it in my app drawer and not just on my home screen would be enough for me. I dont care for full like app compatibility, but just a click and go app inside my organized app folders. (Firefox, Samsung S25 Ultra)"

Being able to do that in Android (having PWAs in the app drawer of an Android phone rather than on the home screen) requires using WebAPK (or the Firefox equivalent). It's arguably not part of the PWA spec, even though it would be nice to have the option so that PWAs don't have to clutter the home screen. This is more of an Android issue, not something that I would expect to see in "version 1" of the PWA functionality in Firefox.

What I want, as asked by the developers, is a possibility to make a website into its own separate window like on Edge, but unlike it, I would also want the data to be containerized so it doesn't interfere with other data as off/on function.

I want to be able to use that website like it was an app for that thing. I would like to have Firefox closed, for example if I'm playing a game or sharing my screen, I would like that I use as little resources as possible. I'm a person with 200-1000 tabs in Firefox, I don't want to always open it, and then risk the chance of loosing all of it, as there seems to be some saving bugs still in firefox.
