Interesting read – thanks for the link!

No, it uses the [TCP Socket API][1], which requires the app to be
privileged.

I recall a lengthy discussion in one of the mailing lists about making
it possible to let users host privileged apps. The challenge is to find
a way to let Mozilla reviewers accept or reject apps, e.g. by signing
source code. Can’t find the discussion anymore. Anyhow, possibly that’s
the way to go, and maybe there is already something happening. I don’t
read the lists regularly, so am not up to date.

I won’t downgrade my apps to native Android. ;-)
