If it would be possible, it would be nice to use the site favicon as the icon in the tray for each window. As well it would be nice if the text that is the site name in the tab would be shown instead of the url.

It's actually not possible by security restriction. It may be done with manipulating different browser profiles however extension have no access to profiles. So I have no luck for this feature.

It's also not possible by security restriction. However there's another windowing API (from nature of webpages) that moves the location bar into window. Locationbar cannot be removed by security restriction. However it may still be removed by modifying Firefox profile' CSS. I may support the windowing API and create a guide how to modify browser CSS.
The description that i wrote is a little technical however I will work about this feature.

That's a shame. I would like to use my tray to juggle different website-apps. I wonder if there's a way we can use a modified version of Firefox - but not have to recompile and have multiple versions? Or... just run it in PWA mode...

Recompiling is not required, I mean legacy style-sheet (CSS) customization feature of Firefox. When I implement the feature I will use popup window API of browsers. It will move location information to window from title-bar and we will able to hide the location information with CSS.

However I don't know any API to manage window grouping and Firefox doesn't allow to extensions without having native helper.
