-The next step of 2-layered widget model is Hybrid Widget Model. Hybrid Widget Model means homescreen has more power and responsibilities. A homescreen app may manage and host widgets in itself no longer needing system app's support, unlike 2-layered widget model. All apps opened by homescreen app are still managed and hosted by system app.

+* A widget cannot open new screen, excepting using mozApps.getSelf().launch()
