A `[=browsing context=]` doesn't have a URL directly — the chain requires going through the active document. The existing spec already establishes the correct idiom at line 2696: `[=navigable/active document=]`'s `[=Document/URL=]`. Also, "of this page" is informal for a spec note.

          Some user agents might directly [=launch a web application|launch=]
          the [=installed web application=] using the [=navigable/active document=]'s
          [=Document/URL=] of the [=browsing context=] that initiated the
          installation. If that [=Document/URL=] is not [=manifest/within scope=]
          of the manifest's [=manifest/navigation scope=], the [=application
          context=] is initially instantiated with an out-of-scope [=Document/URL=].
