WebRT Desktop comprises the '''navigator.mozApps DOM API''' through which the Mozilla Marketplace, other webapp stores, and webapps themselves request installation; an '''installer feature of Firefox''' that installs webapps on the native platform; a '''stub executable launcher''' bundled with Firefox that the installer copies to an appropriate location for each webapp it installs; and a '''xulapp shell''' that loads a webapp when a user starts it.
