Ah, cool.

Anyway, there are various things that I think would be interesting to
mozilla:

* A single upstream binary build for all distributions
* A safe atomic upgrade model. 
  You can safely run automatic updates of an xdg-app while it is 
  running without affecting the running instance, without needing to
  do all the hoops that e.g. chrome does to handle this.
* Use of portals to do desktop integration can allow running firefox
  to run sandboxed, yet still be integrated with the desktop and other 
  apps.
