|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. | |Feature users and use cases=Alice is a desktop Firefox user.
