🐞 Describe the bug

ntfy defaults to web-push based subscriptions when installed as a PWA. Firefox Android has an open bug where it reports the PWA mode incorrectly. This causes ntfy to not automatically subscribe to web push, and requires you to go to the ntfy Settings page to enable it manually.

💻 Components impacted

Web app, Firefox for Android only

💡 Screenshots and/or logs

🔮 Additional context

window.matchMedia("(display-mode: standalone)").matches === false on Firefox for Android, even when it is opened as a standalone PWA.
