Is there a way to install web apps on mobile using Firefox? I’m not looking for shortcuts that open in new browser tabs. I would like to run some sites as installed, full-screen apps. The excellent PWA addon works great for desktop, but I imagine it would not be possible to duplicate this on mobile based on how the addon runs.

Any thoughts? I’m open to using another app or browser that is built on Firefox if needed

    If a website has a compatible PWA manifest the there will be an item labelled “install” in the three-dot menu of Firefox in place of usual “add to homescreen” item.

    Edit: There’s a few other requirements as well for the website to be considered installable as PWA, such as it must have a registered service worker so it can work offline. But regardless, if the website provides all the requirements then it can just be installed straight from the menu.
