-|Feature users and use cases=While Apps are cross-browser and will be able to run everywhere, Firefox users are going to have an amazing experience with Apps. Because Firefox contains a native implementation of the complete Web Runtime (WebRT) and because Firefox is already very familiar with how it is used, Firefox users will have the best experience of discovering, installing and interacting with Apps.
+|Feature users and use cases=Alice is a desktop Firefox user. She has three paths to discovering Apps in Firefox.  She can click on the Firefox App Store launcher in her Home Tab which loads the Firefox App Store in a new tab or new window (is the store itself an "App"?) and browse and search through our amazing catalog of compelling apps.  She can also browse the "recommended" apps section of Home Tab which will surface a half dozen recommended apps based on her browsing history. Finally, Alice can surf around the Web and be notified by sites about the availability of their Apps.
+NEEDS ACTION: merge the two paragraphs below
+Alice is in complete control of the App installation and permissions process. An App cannot be installed without her explicit request and she gets to decide what permissions to grant that app, including where that App will surface on her computer. The installation process ensures that Alice can always find and stay in control of her Apps.

+Alice is in complete control of how and when Apps launch. She can manage an App's permissions at any time. In addition to explicit launchers, Alice has a variety of ways to indirectly launch an App, for example, from a link on the Web or from within another App. Alice can also customize what kinds of windows her Apps live in.
+Alice gets the benefit of notifications, even for Apps which aren't "running" because the App launchers in her Firefox Home Tab can notify her of important changes like unread mail count or a new article has appeared. She loves these bits of live information that flow into her App launchers and remind her when to open the App and engage with new content.
+When Alice doesn't have an internet connection, she can still use any Apps which don't require live connections. She can work offline with confidence that all of her work is being saved locally and will sync when her connection returns.
+Alice can get rid of any app easily at any time.
