    Mozilla's web app store debuts in Firefox for Android

    Mozilla has enabled its "Firefox Marketplace" web app store on the latest Aurora release of Firefox for Android.

Anyone can survey the goods in stock at the marketplace by visiting marketplace.mozilla.org, but installation requires Firefox for Android.
