Developers and organisations both large and small worldwide have expressed interest in building apps for the Mozilla Marketplace. In response, Mozilla has today announced that their Mozilla Marketplace is now accepting application submissions.
Now developers can secure their app’s name and place in the Mozilla Marketplace, in preparation for its official consumer launch later in 2012.
Technologies and Standards
Applications built using HTML5 for app structure; CSS3 for layout, visual aesthetics, and visual behaviors; and JavaScript for logical implementation can now be submitted for inclusion in the new Mozilla Marketplace. These technologies are widely recognized for their flexibility and power in creating dynamic and responsive web applications. HTML5 provides a robust framework for structuring content, while CSS3 enhances the visual presentation with advanced styling options. JavaScript, on the other hand, brings interactivity and complex functionalities to the apps.
Mozilla explains a little more about the development of their new Mozilla Marketplace for apps.
“On the Marketplace side, we’ve been working on identity integration with Persona (BrowserID). We’re also developing payments, app sync, backup and recovery, as well as an outstanding online app discovery and acquisition experience, so that both consumers and developers can easily get what they want from the Marketplace experience, on the front side or on the back end.”
Features and Benefits
The integration of Persona (BrowserID) is a significant step towards ensuring secure and seamless user authentication. This identity management system allows users to sign in to various services with a single set of credentials, enhancing both security and convenience. Additionally, the development of payment systems within the marketplace aims to provide a smooth transaction experience for users purchasing apps.
App sync, backup, and recovery features are crucial for maintaining user data integrity and ensuring that users can easily restore their apps and data in case of device changes or data loss. These features are particularly important in today’s mobile-centric world, where users frequently switch between devices.
The online app discovery and acquisition experience is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy for consumers to find and download the apps they need. This focus on user experience is expected to drive higher engagement and satisfaction among users, ultimately benefiting developers by increasing the visibility and adoption of their apps.

The Mozilla Marketplace represents a significant opportunity for developers to reach a global audience with their applications. By leveraging the latest web technologies and adhering to open standards, developers can create innovative and high-quality apps that stand out in the marketplace. The comprehensive support and resources provided by Mozilla further enhance the development process, making it easier for developers to bring their ideas to life.
