Summary
In essence, the goal of web application support in mobile is to expose web apps to users of Firefox for Android. Users should be able to access and manage their apps have ability discover new apps and to have a seamless online apps experience.
Web applications are essentially websites built in web technologies (e.g, HTML, CSS, JavaScript) that users can interact with through a 'chrome-less' window in a native environment (e.g, Android). These web applications intent to act exactly like native applications on the operating system. For a website to become a web application, a developer creates an app manifest for their website and hosts it on an origin (e.g, www.yourhost.com) where the website is located. Then, the app developer adds this manifest to a store (e.g, Firefox Marketplace) to allow the app to be installed on ones machine or mobile device.
