Is it clear what "PWA support" means? Some pieces of PWA are still available on Firefox. Some aren't. Is there a clear description somewhere of what the PWA umbrella covers and what is or is not important? Partly I'm wondering because although I voted for this bug, I realized I was only thinking of mobile. Desktop support is far less interesting to me personally (though generally speaking, it seems like it'd be a cool thing to have). https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1719080 leads to a number of links. My impression is that the desktop feature is a fairly heavy feature to support. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1602117 was the main bug for this, with https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1602117#c7 providing a list of pieces that were never implemented. The strongest argument I see for desktop PWAs is for skipping an app store and pinning to the Windows taskbar. I almost wonder if the best path for desktop would be some form of official support for https://github.com/filips123/PWAsForFirefox — as in, not trying to incorporate that, but adding it to continuous integration and otherwise trying not to break it?
