Incorrect application name relayed to OS #585

Problem Description

In some parts of the OS, the application name is still displayed as Firefox, and not the true name of the PWA. I have noticed this in Windows using custom software that displays the information for now playing music. I have installed YouTube Music as a PWA, and the below screenshots are examples of what I mean. image image The incorrect application name is displayed here by default on many Linux distros with no extra software, but on Windows I was specifically using ModernFlyouts and MediaFlyout.

Proposed Solution

Change the name of the application to match the name of the PWA that is installed. I don't have much experience with forking and building Firefox, so I'm not sure how this could be implemented or how easy/difficult it is, but it would be a really nice addition!

I'm not sure if this is possible to do, as it may require modifying the Firefox executable, but I will check in the future if there is any other way of implementing it. Similar issues for Linux are #493 and #445.
