Abrowser - Link to Firefox Marketplace

Also Tools->Apps. For those who don't know, it's a link to Firefox Marketplace, a place where people publish apps (mostly proprietary ones) for Firefox and Firefox OS. Although there are some libre apps (such as Wikipedia), Mozilla seems uninterested in displaying licenses, which some users have requested.

(And Ruben: I suggest looking at the release notes every time you update abrowser, that's where you get to know about things like this)

I have filed a patch for this bug to the mailing list.

Meanwhile for anyone affected, simply type, about:config and Then set "browser.apps.URL" to nothing.

Patch for reference...
