*/Firefox OS does not assume a fast, stable and always available connection/. When traveling I start hating my Android phone (which I love to bits otherwise.) Having dozens of megabyte updates over roaming is out of the question and neither is using flaky and slow wireless connections. Firefox OS has no native apps – all of them, including the system apps are written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Thus they are much smaller and can have atomic updates instead of having to be replaced as a unit every single time. Source: http://blog.mozilla.org/theden/2013/07/12/what-firefox-os-means-for-you/
I don't think "atomic updates" is the right term to oppose to "as a unit", as "atomic updates" means that there is no in-between state, which is a consequence of updating "as a unit". I guess the intent was to mention "partial updates", where only the updated files are pulled.
