Mozilla Confirms an App Store Is on the Way
Along with its audited financial statements indicating a revenue increase of 34 percent last year, Mozilla late last week also published a "State of Mozilla" report providing a glimpse at what the organization is planning for the future.
Firefox for Android is one part of those future plans, of course, and will be released "in a few months," according to the report.
Even more intriguing, though, is the company's confirmation that it's planning what it calls an "Open Web App ecosystem"--also known, in other words, as a platform-independent app store. "The current app model has traits that threaten some of the characteristics that have made the Web so vibrant a platform, particularly in the mobile space," Mozilla explained in its report.
