Hi, I'm using Intex Cloud FX in India. One thing I noticed that the preinstalled Marketplace app is outdated. Latest apps are not appearing in the search result. Also there is no update to the Marketplace app. I'm using Marketplace website on browser as a workaround but I would like to know whether it is possible to update Marketplace by any means. Thanks in advance. :)

Hi, Thanks for your Inquiry. Regarding the Marketpace app, Please be informed that its a hosted app and it does not need to be updated. So you dont need to be tensed about updating it. Regards

The marketplace app does not require an update. In the event that it does, you will be notified in the notification tray.

দ্রুত জবাবের জন্য ধন্যবাদ Safwan Rahman :) But the problem I'm facing is the inbuilt Marketplace app looks like this: https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-09-24-01-50-24-0db362.png which is certainly not how it looks nowadays! Also the search results don't include the latest apps. When I searched for ConnectA2 it showed the app alright https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-09-24-01-52-20-071fab.png but when I searched for a newer app like Zomato, no result at all! https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-09-24-02-12-49-a8c137.png

The display of the application may look different per your location. The zomato app may not be displayed also due to your location or incompatibility to your device. I've escalated this matter to our Help Desk team for further assistance and investigation.

Thank you for your patience.

Hello Andrew, thanks for your reply. I would like to add a few things. The problem is not with one or two apps. ALL the *newer* apps are not appearing in the search results. I showed Zomato as an example. As I wrote before Marketplace website (https://marketplace.firefox.com/) on the browser is doing well as a workaround. I have installed and tested *newer* apps from there. I tried Zomato app itself. It worked fine.

Hi, I think its a cache issue. Maybe the Data is cashed therefore its not showing newer apps. Can you please try by resetting the phone?

If its a bug, I can provide an alternative tricks for it. You can simple Take the Marketplace page into your home screen. For doing so, Go to to http://marketplace.mozilla.org , then press the star Icon which is situated below, then tap on Add to Home screen

By doing this, I hope you can see marketplace at your homescreen and can be a alternative till the bug is not fixed.

Regards Safwan

Bookmarking Marketplace to the home screen? Yeah, that's what I've been doing since the very beginning. Thank you anyway.

UPDATE: Today the Marketplace looks updated: https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-09-26-18-05-22-8460a6.png Remember that it looked only like this since the very beginning (for the last one month): https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-09-24-01-50-24-0db362.png And even the Zomato app appeared in the app list under the home menu: https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-09-26-18-05-41-9399a7.png But still search by the term didn't yield any successful result: https://support.cdn.mozilla.net/media/uploads/images/2014-09-26-18-07-53-c83f5e.png

I'm not sure whether ALL the *newer* apps are appearing now or not as they are still not appearing on the search results. Also unlike 18 categories for the new Marketplace there are only four (Home, Games, Tools, Lifestyle) avaiable here. So it's really painful to browse all of them and look for apps.
