Can a user have as much control over a PWA as it's running in a browser instance compared to loading the site in regular Firefox mobile?

In other words are PWA a way for people to write and run web apps but making sure the user can't run adblockers?

Depends on the host OS.

On Windows 10, PWAs are just another way of doing UWP native apps, as they replaced the former JavaScript language projection (WinJS) introduced in Windows 8.

That’s a good point. My guess is that extensions do not run when a PWA is installed and launched in standalone mode.
