I can't think of a single example where a web page doesn't work on FF.

I just need a „install as app“ Feature in Firefox, that is not as pain as the webapp Manager app we currently have

There was a point in time where Firefox had the most market share? When was this?

At the time FF felt bloated compared to Chrome, so Chrome was like the fresh new and faster alternative.
