Should one prefer Firefox PWAs (via plugin) and Firefox Web-Apps over Electron apps?
Not really that worried but rather curious about your opinions. Use what suits your demands best.
But for starters:
Electron is a framework based on Chromium used to develop desktop apps. Examples of apps that are built on Electron are Discord, Element Desktop, MS Teams, Slack, GitHub Desktop, Atom, VS Code and counting

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:
