User Reviews
This extension has potential but unfortunately it doesn't work. All links redirect back to main FF window. The "Launch this site" button still appears in toolbar, I guess the objective of this extension is to click that button, then close the current window. Only tested on Windows 10.

Is PWA Links Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
PWA Links requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
PWA Links is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
