Didn't Firefox kill PWA support too.

What was Mozilla's reason behind this?

Only on the desktop. PWAs still exist on the mobile version of it.

Do they? I haven't been able to figure it how to save a shortcut for a PWA, so all the PWAs on my phone use Chrome :/

Tap the three dots on bottom left, install.

I don't see it.

If I tap "add to home screen" then it just adds a shortcut that opens the page in Firefox with all the regular browser chrome still present.

You need to be on a website that support PWA.
