Advantage of App Tabs

  • You can easily manage tabs
  • Easily locate regularly used tabs 
  • Saves the space on the tab bar

You can always turn App Tab into normal tab by right clicking on the App Tab and clicking  Make into Normal Tab.

It could have been better user can save these App Tabs permanently rather than Firefox offering to save and restore these tabs when you close Firefox.
