## What it is
A tool that installs, manages, and runs Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) in Mozilla Firefox as standalone desktop apps. It combines a Firefox browser extension, a Rust native program with a CLI, and UserChrome modifications to create an app-like Firefox runtime without tabs or address bar.

## Use cases
- install websites as desktop apps in Firefox
- run web apps without browser tabs and address bar
- manage multiple profiles for the same web app
- get Chrome-like PWA support on Firefox
- create site-specific browsers from any website
- launch web apps from the start menu or taskbar

## When to choose
- you use Firefox and want to install websites as standalone apps
- you need separate profiles or multiple accounts per web app
- you want more PWA customization than Chromium browsers offer

## When to avoid
- you primarily use a Chromium-based browser with built-in PWA support
- you need official Mozilla-supported PWA integration
- you want PWAs installed as Windows APPX/MSIX packages
