I know that the support for Site Specific Browser (SSB) And Progressive Web Apps (PWA) has been dropped in Firefox 86 (bug 1682593). But, why not add a simple feature like firefox --app, all it does is open a window that looks like a normal GUI desktop app, no SSB or PWA feature is needed, this is a pure UI look.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or developers. If you want to leave feedback for developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select either Share ideas and feedback… or Submit feedback…, depending on your Firefox version. Alternatively, you can use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

You can also file a bug report or feature request. See File a bug report or feature request for Mozilla products for details.
