Ive been using PWAsForFirefox for couple of years now and it's pretty good tho a bit clunky at times as firefox updates tend to break some settings.

And reading through this article seems like I'll be sticking with PWAsForFirefox:

web apps in Firefox will not use a minimal browser frame and will continue to show a main toolbar with address bar, extensions, bookmarks – though the ‘new tab’ button will be replaced with a button to open a normal Firefox window.

Lame.

What's even the point if they do that, might as well just use bookmarks

Yeah what a wasted opportunity which is very typical for Firefox

I wanted a taskbar button for Navidrome at work. This is so I could quickly find my music in between the several open Firefox windows.

As the IT admin, I could've installed this. But I knew I REALLY shouldn't. It needed administrator rights, and I had no idea how secure it was.

So instead I used Brave for Navidrome PWA. Brave was installed as local user, so it couldn't bring down my entire organization if it got my password.

Now I'll be able to switch back.
