Mozilla today launched its Firefox Marketplace app store for Android in your Firefox Aurora testing browser. In it we can test applications that have already been launched by the developers and comment on them so that everything improves. Aurora, in fact, refers to the development phase of her Firefox browser for Android devices. It indicates a more intermediate step between the beta and the final product. This project is still intended for developers and testers, but you can also be one by giving your feedback.
Mozilla has always been a fan of web apps in its browser on PC, but now it wants to bring this experience to users as well. Android mobile devicesBoth smartphones , the Tablets.
El Marketplace organizes its contents in nine categories:
- Books and references
- BUSINESS
- Education
- Entertainment and sports
- Games
- Health and exercise
- Lifestyle
- Music
- News and weather
All of them already have a good number of applications, although only some are scored in the rating. This is so, because the Marketplace itself does not yet have all the functionalities such as payment, rating, reviews and all those usual items in app stores.
