What do you mean "via plugin"?
The advantage of browser pwa is that they work without plugins.
Separate app is good for separation, and can at times oder better performance. Browser allows for low barrier, existing browser use. Either can be preferable.
Firefox doesn't support "installing" web apps as PWAs like Chrome-based ones do. There are plugins to provide that functionality, which I assume is what OP is referring to.
Yeah, Mozilla thought about bringing official support but discontinued is afaik.
That's extremely unfortunate. I can't see how it would be all that difficult to implement (says someone who absolutely would be lost looking at Firefox's source code lol)
I was not aware Firefox removed native support for it. At least I thought it supported it.

Apparently, it's not an official extension by Mozilla either, but published by a third party.
I don't even really need it to be fully compliant, really. Just let me launch it in a standalone window without the URL, tab, and status bars. :shrug:
Both, yeah. Shortcut icon based on the favicon (or whatever the dev configures in the manifest) and a dedicated window without the URL, tab, and status bars.
