When installing an app from the Firefox Marketplace, will the app be downloaded from the developer’s server, or are all the listed apps hosted on Mozilla’s server?

Hi keal, There is a github that hosts the original code for the default apps for the Firefox OS original builds. You would have to zip them and install them through the about:app-manager afaik. The marketplace apps are managed by the marketplace app.

The setup for developers seems to offer both options, where a third party server can initialize updates to the apps. For more information check out the MDN page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/A.../Architecture

I hope this helps.

Hi Keal,

In case you are referring to the user apps in the Firefox Marketplace - those are hosted in the developer's website.

Please let us know if you have any specific questions on this topic. =)

Thanks!!
