| WebRT Android comprises the '''navigator.mozApps DOM API''' through which the Mozilla Marketplace, other webapp stores, and webapps themselves request installation; a '''webapp tab''' feature of Fennec for loading webapps in fullscreen tabs; and a '''Mozilla Marketplace activity''' that is bundled with Fennec and enables users to browse the marketplace, install webapps from it, and manage their installed webapps.
