The reason I mention PWA for desktop is very different from mobile, but for either, a PWA can live anywhere, it's just a menu less browser with the site's icon vs the firefox one. Handy for sites with no apps that you want to be able to task switch independently for. They dont have to be on a home screen or desktop.

Granted, the wording of the question would make one think so.

Yes, it's a fancy way to save a tab. I just leave the tab open. Not a feature I want, so not something I want them to waste limited development time on. It'd be nice if it were through the bookmarks interface, so booarks could save state & history the way tabs do, but that's not what's proposed so I'd rather not have this. PWAs are a workaround to make up for the limitations of bookmarks.
