In the second version, modularity begins to be exposed to the user. Long-tail providers can advertise a manifest which triggers a Firefox "install App" dialog, which adds a new WebMod, which is then available to F1 if that WebMod advertises the appropriate link-sharing feature. Firefox also displays a dashboard of Apps, where the user can disable existing WebMods. | In the second version, modularity begins to be exposed to the user.
