FFOS started in 2011. PWA were far from being a thing then.

I wrote this in 2013, after running for TAG in 2012 overtly to fix the app cache mess: http://yehudakatz.com/2013/05/21/extend-the-web-forward/ … I wrote the Extensible Web Manifesto in 2013 in part to push back against the widely held belief that packaged apps were the only way forward.

FFOS engineers were aware of the PWA vision at the time, and just didn't believe it was worth prioritizing. Full stop.

I was a Mozillian (such as the term makes sense) at the time, and have worked closely with Mozilla leaders and standards folks on web components, service worker, asm.js/wasm for years. More recently, I have attended literally every Mozilla all-hands.

I am not trying to claim I know what the top FFOS leadership was thinking, which is why I said "Mozilla engineers" and not "top FFOS leadership". But I do know that multiple people at Mozilla were aware of the alternatives and felt it shouldn't be prioritized.
