Mozilla has just announced live at its MWC 2013 event that it'll launch its marketplace for Firefox OS
"later this year," and that you'll be able to pay for apps directly
through your mobile operator. That's obviously different from Google and
Apple's approach, perhaps to entice carriers to jump on board with
devices packing the new mobile OS. You'll be able to grab apps in
categories like games, news and media from outfits like EA, Disney,
Facebook and Twitter. Mozilla's also touting "one-time use and
downloadable apps" to let users test out apps before they buy them. The
organization said that developers will be able to use "web technologies
at the core," to create HTML5-based apps, in order to populate the new
ecosystem quickly. The marketplace won't arrive to Firefox OS until
later this year, but you can get a preview on Firefox for Android Aurora. For more info, check the PR after the break.
