Changed site to communicate discontinuation of app submission
[https://marketplace.firefox.com Firefox Marketplace] is a discovery and distribution platform for web apps. It imbues Mozilla's principles of transparency, user control, and open innovation that locked-down platforms lack. Its mission is to promote a free and open web.
== Upcoming Changes to Marketplace ==Mozilla has streamlined Marketplace to allocate resources to other areas of Connected Devices. === App Submissions ===Marketplace no longer accepts submissions or updates to apps. Since Firefox OS has been discontinued as a commercial product, Marketplace is no longer receiving very many submissions. Certain events and reallocation of resources to other areas have led us to make a decision to discontinue app submission. The apps in Marketplace can still be downloaded and function on Firefox OS devices. [https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2g B2G OS], the open source project based on Firefox OS, can install and run non-privileged, non-packaged web apps from any web site.

Q: Why did you discontinue app submissions to Marketplace.
A. App submission had dwindled to a trickle, and most of the the app reviewers, both Mozilla staff and volunteers, have moved to other projects. We had planned to close app submission mid-2017, but circumstances accelerated this timeline to September 2016.
Q. What does it mean for applications already in Firefox Marketplace?
A. Applications in Marketplace will continue to work on Firefox OS devices. If the app is not listed as compatible with Firefox OS, it has been disabled (not listed in the catalog), but still accessible to the owner on the developer portal.
