Is there any solution for PWA's with Firefox that Don't require 20 steps and a bunch of other software on Windows? (fedia.io)

I really like using PWA's but FF does not allow them. I have seen a PWA extension but it requires a whole bunch of Software be added to achieve it.

Is there any other solution without resorting to a Chromium based browser ?

I did go through a phase where I created webapps (and I do have webapp manager installed, so I can create a 'webapp' from any bookmark and with any installed browser.

I had a Webapp for BBC Sounds, another for Plex web, but in the end this is just opening a link without the UI. If the UI is an issue, I can just fullscreen it anyway.

Quite often, if I wanted to - for example - open my Gmail, I'd make the terrible mistake of opening the bookmark in the browser instead of opening the webapp.

And you know, quite often I never even noticed I was doing it!!!

As such it was deemed a waste of Firefox resources (because it had plenty of issues).

The only webapp I have now are for individual Google services which need to be opened in Chrome (due to microphone access etc).
