From the ‘Mozilla Isn’t a Linux Vendor’ files:

While Mozilla is a leading light in the open source community, every so often I’m reminded that the same isn’t always true in the Linux community.

There has been an ongoing thread over the course of the last week about Mozilla’s lack of initial support for the Web Apps Marketplace on Linux.

That’s right folks, the same group that is now (rightly) attacking Microsoft over the initial lack of access for browsers on Windows RT, isn’t initially supporting Linux for Web Apps.
