For quite a long time, there are going to be people out there using
browsers which do not support native integration. Firefox on Linux for
now, plus also IE, Safari, Chrome etc, plus Safari on iOS and other
platforms where Firefox is not welcome.
Our principle is "the web is the platform". What is the user experience
going to be like for users of those browsers visiting the Mozilla
Marketplace?
We support app installation on any modern browser. If a browser
supporting the mozApps API was not found, the Marketplace falls back to
use our shim library (include.js) which provides the same APIs as the
"native" implementation. Any other Marketplace is also free to include
the same shim library as a fallback.
The app should get installed in the user's dashboard (currently hosted
at myapps.mozillalabs.com, pending a move to persona.org). If they
aren't logged in to the dashboard, they may be prompted to login with
their Persona -- so you'll get two logins instead of one with the HTML5
app installation flow. But, once you are logged, launching an app is one
click.
- If it is the plan, does it work today?
It should, if it doesn't, that's a bug; so you should let us know! I
tested installing an app from our demo "appdir"
(https://apps.mozillalabs.com/appdir/) and dashboard
(https://myapps.mozillalabs.com/) on an iPhone recently, and it all
worked as it should.
