I tested just now in firefox with an app from https://appsco.pe and it just...opened a browser tab with the website.

So I understand a PWA is just a website but isn't the whole point to have a dedicated window/card for it?

I don't know what your setup is, but it did work for me, creating an app that shows as its own icon on the homescreen, without FF chrome, with a separate app-switcher entry. Using a S24 Ultra with whatever the current OneUI is.

I think it wasn't my setup but the app I tested on (Imgur). Trying another one worked.

It looks like appsco.pe has some incorrect entries in its list of PWA.
