Apps are not installable in Firefox 10. According to bug 717975, they work in Firefox 11.0 b3.

After a discussion with Krupa , I think that the first site used in bug description (https://addons-dev.allizom.org/en-US/apps/) will not be available anymore for APPS.

Anyway, I tested using https://apps-preview.mozilla.org/en-US/apps/apps/?sort=free with nightly and I observed another strange issue . Even if now I am able to install the APPS without errors , I am not able to start or use any of installed APPS(clicking on any installed app will not start the application , but it will activate the swipe page function).

Please see screencast for the new issue:http://screencast.com/t/IAevbGiVpxA

That's a different bug on a different site.  Closing.  Thanks.
