What is the most efficient way to run PWA (Progressive Web Apps), there are many browsers that do it (Chrome, Chromium, Vivaldi, Brave, Edge), which one will be the lightest and less resource usage in a Debian or Fedora? Are there other options apart from the browsers?
There is an extension + companion app to do native-looking PWAs with Firefox, but it requires separate user profiles for each PWA (which means running separate Firefox instances).

Can I download Youtube (WebAPP) with Firefox? Or do I need Google Chrome/Chromium?
Firefox does not offer this feature natively so you have to use a 3rd party utility to do it, and even those aren't super obvious. I've used FirefoxPWA in the past and it seems to work alright.

How to make desktop icons like chrome?
That's an old tutorial, the pref its asking you to toggle doesn't exist in the latest Nightly anymore. Your best bet is to use an extension but if that doesn't work, then you're screwed. Mozilla isn't continuing development of this feature.

Do firefox have something like --app switch in chrome?
Are you referring to PWA? Unfortunately, Firefox does not yet support it; however, you can use this for the feature. The exension isn't great and buggy, but it gets the job done.
- Is it just me or does someone else desires desktop PWA's like Microsoft Edge or Brave or whatever?
