Marketplace

Mozilla is building a Marketplace to bring personalized discovery, worldwide distribution, and easy payments to the largest platform for app development: the Web. Our Marketplace will be imbued with Mozilla's principles of transparency, user control, and open innovation that locked-down platforms lack.

The Future of Marketplace

Upcoming Changes to Marketplace

Over the coming months Mozilla is streamlining Marketplace to allocate resources to other areas of FxOS and Connected Devices. Please see this FAQ for more information.

Progressive Web Apps

We are working with other parties on the shared goal of improving the web’s ability to meet the needs of mobile users and, along with Google, Opera, and others, are getting behind the vision of Progressive Web Apps. Find out more about Progressive Web Apps.

Non-Firefox OS Apps

On March 29, 2016, Marketplace will no longer accept submissions for Android, Desktop and Tablet, and will remove all apps that don’t support Firefox OS. However we will continue to accept Firefox OS app submissions until mid-2017 Apps that currently work on Desktop and Android will no longer function on those platforms since the Web Runtime (WebRT) will be removed and will no longer be able to install or launch apps.

Payment Support

We will be removing support for payments, for both paid apps and in-app payments. The web gives developers the freedom to choose any payment method, and Firefox Marketplace should not be a gatekeeper. If you have payments set up, it means you may need to change your payment provider, make your app free, and/or move payments to be contained within your app or website. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes. We will continue to allow submissions and updates for free Firefox OS phone apps, and there are millions of users that we will continue to support.
