This affects Firefox and Abrowser, but there was some news recently that Mozilla's initial web apps marketplace will not support Linux. This is horrible news because Firefox has been losing ground for a while now and they shouldn't piss off their Linux users. Of course I've had no problem running Chrome Apps on Chromium that were cross tested for Windows/Mac/Linux like Angry Birds.
Just a heads up for you guys.
Here's a follow up. Apparently its up to the open source community to patch it for them: http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/16/mozilla-marketplace-lacks-linux-support/
Here's one implementation in the works

I'm lost here, what is a 'mozilla app' and how does it differ from add-ons?
I think they mean app in the sense of smartphone/tablet and the Chrome web store. For example if you load up Chromium, there is a secondary area for installed apps on the new tab page.
The whole app model and marketplace is really just adding buzzwords to things we have been doing for years. Apparently since it is a hot trend, Mozilla is forced to do it as to not lose users and to stay modern and relevant.
