It's a trademark violation, in that "FirefoxPWA" improperly implies that that Firefox is the brand behind the product. This isn't likely to go all the way to a court of law, but if it did it would be an open and shut case. The author should do the polite thing and rename their product.
Legally proper alternatives would be "PWAs for Firefox" or more clearly, "PWA Installer for Firefox" as suggested elsethread. Those aren't necessarily great product names, but they illustrate a point: the inversion makes it clear that this is a third party offering, rather than something coming from Firefox.
For what it's worth I don't think the author intended to create marketplace confusion, because the full product description "Progressive Web Apps for Firefox" makes it clear it's a third-party offering. It should be possible to resolve this amicably.
