Opera has been accepted in the Mac App Store.  We should explore the possibility of including Firefox, and other Mozilla products.



Reproducible: Always
I am neutral to this, but you should know that not only apps, but their updates too need approval from Apple before appearing in the store. This means that we wouldn't be able to get critical security updates out there as quick as through our normal channels. Opera had this issue as well, as mentioned in an article, but I don't think there's an official statement.
Updates shouldn't be as much of an issue now due to the mandatory App Sandbox requirement for App Store apps.
