About:
The `firefoxpwa` tool integrates Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) into the Mozilla Firefox browser on desktop operating systems. It provides a native-like experience by allowing users to install web applications that run in their own windows, separate from the main browser. This bridges the gap between web and native applications, offering better system integration and organization for web-based workflows.
Key Features:
  • Seamless installation of PWAs directly from Firefox
  • Launches apps in standalone, native-feeling windows
  • Manages app lifecycle, including updates and removal
  • Integrates with the host operating system (taskbar, menus)
Use Cases:
  • Installing a web-based note-taking app like Notion for distraction-free work
  • Running a messaging app like WhatsApp or Telegram in a dedicated window
  • Using a web-based IDE or design tool as if it were a native application
Alternatives:
  • Native Browser PWA Support – Chrome and Edge offer built-in PWA installation; this tool brings that functionality to Firefox.
