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

Just a shame that Firefox can be a bit shit at opening the installed pwa sometimes. I'm sure I stumbled across a bug on their bugzilla for the issue, but I can't find it now. The problem is highly annoying.

Oh it's mot just me then? It does feel to me that it's actually slower to open a pwa-installed app than just opening the website in Firefox (lineageos is my ROM).
