<div class="gmail_quote">It's similar but the technical
implementation is independent. The "Web App Runtime" on Fennec that Myk
refers to is the system that produces APK files wrapping a web app, and
then arranges to run that web app in its own process. (Independent of
the Fennec process!) That set of features is essentially untested and
slows development down. The future of Web Apps in Fennec is not 100%
clear, but the features discussed in Mozlando are intended to be used
and integrate more with Fennec-the-browser-process than stand beside
it. Parsing manifests to extract hires icons is possible in both
worlds, but many things require lots of work on the Fennec side --
opening homescreen bookmarks fullscreen or with custom chrome UI, for
example.<br>

What Nick said!<br>
<br>
I would only add that the manifest in question is different between
these two approaches to supporting web apps. The Web Runtime uses the
Open Web App (i.e. FxOS) manifest [1], while the demonstration at
Mozlando used the W3C manifest [2].<br>
