Mozilla has just announced live at its MWC 2013 event that it’s going to offer a marketplace for its fledgeling Firefox OS, and that you’ll be able to pay for apps directly through your mobile operator. That differs from payment methods offered by Google and Apple, perhaps as a way to get carriers on board with devices packing the new mobile OS. You’ll be able to grab apps in categories like games, news and media, with Mozilla dropping names like EA, Disney, Facebook and Twitter. Mozilla’s also touting the “one-time use and downloadable apps” to let users test out apps before they buy them. The organization said that developers will be able to use “web technologies at the core,” which it hopes will enable them to get apps into the new ecosystem more quickly.
