Ask HN: Are there any alternative front ends for HN?
Thanks for the suggestions, https://github.com/cheeaun/awesome-hacker-news is indeed great. Although I prefer not to install a chrome extension.
I was thinking something similar to alternative frontends for youtube which already exit.

How to update HN post thread display?
There won't be a good answer aparts from 'it has always been this way', HN is super conservative when it comes to web design.
See if any of the apps https://github.com/cheeaun/awesome-hacker-news use a style of your preference.

Ask HN: Why can't we comment on “X is Hiring” posts
There are many alternative interfaces to HN ([1]), so perhaps one of them could develop the possibility to overlay comments on a hiring post.

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?
